Amir J. Tyson made his prediction clear for the upcoming boxing showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, simply stating that "Crawford is too damn fast." The five-word assessment from Tyson during a recent social media appearance has added another perspective to the highly anticipated bout scheduled for September 13 at Allegiant Stadium.
"Crawford is too damn fast," – Tyson stated bluntly when asked about his prediction for the fight.
Terence Crawford will move up two weight divisions to challenge Canelo Alvarez, who enters as the betting favorite while defending his undisputed super middleweight title. This weight jump adds significant risk to Crawford's approach, though his technical ability and speed have many believing he can overcome the size disadvantage.
Interestingly, Mike Tyson has expressed doubts about this matchup, primarily citing concerns about the physical differences between the two fighters. The former heavyweight champion has publicly stated he doesn't like the idea of Crawford facing Canelo due to the size and power disparity, though he acknowledges both men's tremendous talent.
Analysts expect a chess match in the ring. Crawford will likely use his mobility to maintain distance and accumulate points while avoiding fatigue. Canelo, meanwhile, will attempt to establish his rhythm early, relying on his solid defense and big-fight experience to neutralize Crawford's speed advantage.
By the way, this contest isn't just bringing together two world champions – it's dividing opinion among boxing legends, experts, and fans alike. Both fighters are considered pound-for-pound greats, making this a true test of elite skills.
Will Crawford's speed truly be enough to overcome Canelo's power? The boxing world will have its answer on September 13.
