Dmitry Bivol’s Coach Picks Decisive Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford Winner

Bivol's coach on Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford

Diaz thinks Crawford doesn't stand a chance against Canelo

. Speaking to The Ring, he said, "Canelo should win. I see Canelo beating Crawford by a convincing decision. There is no way Crawford beats Canelo. Canelo is the king of the sport, and business-wise, Canelo can't lose. If Canelo loses, boxing loses a lot of prestige. But don't get me wrong, Crawford is one of my favorite fighters and pound-for-pound the best of this era."

Diaz predicts a back-and-forth first few rounds but Canelo taking over once he feels that Crawford can't hurt him.

The fight will be interesting and back and forth for the first four rounds. Canelo has been hit by heavy hitters and never even flinched. As soon as Canelo feels that Crawford doesn't have what it takes to hurt him, Canelo is going to walk him down.

Diaz added, "Crawford will make it a fight and fight back, but he's a smart fighter and will play it safe once he's hurt - that's when Canelo will take over. Crawford is not going to be exchanging punches with Canelo in the middle of the ring. We've seen Crawford get buckled before, and believe me, Canelo hits harder than Yuriorkis Gamboa and Egidijus Kavaliauskas.”

Terence Crawford has never fought a puncher like Canelo Alvarez

Crawford is one of the best of the modern era. While he has faced a lot of big names, he's never faced a puncher like Canelo, who fights at a higher weight and carries way more power in his hands. While Crawford seems confident, how he reacts to getting hit will certainly play a major deciding role in the contest.
