Hamzah Sheeraz Gives His Prediction for Canelo – Crawford

British boxer Hamzah Sheeraz has weighed in on the forthcoming clash for the undisputed super-middleweight crown between Mexico’s Canelo Álvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) and America’s Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs).

“I think Canelo wins by knockout in the late rounds. Crawford is a generational talent—an elite fighter—but weight classes exist for a reason. Crawford himself said that years ago in an interview. Of course, when big money’s on the line, everything changes, doesn’t it?

Canelo’s already faced every style imaginable. He even moved up to fight Bivol, one of the best light-heavyweights out there. By nature, Canelo is a middle or super-middle. So I don’t think Crawford’s skill set will stop him,” Sheeraz told Seconds Out.

The bout between Canelo Álvarez and Terence Crawford is set for 13 September in Las Vegas, USA.

On 12 July, Hamzah Sheeraz meets Edgar Berlanga. Detailed analysis and full statistics for that matchup are available via the link.
