I never heard of the guy.\u201d He seemed really upset about it.<\/p>\n<p>Is Jealousy Creeping Into Team Crawford?<\/p>\n<p>It almost sounds like Bernie is jealous of how impressive Ennis looked, which was light-years better than a typical Crawford performance. He never looked like that in his career. Ennis took some of the shine away from Bud\u2019s recent win with that annihilation of Lima.<\/p>\n<p>The way Bernie was worked up, he seemed bothered by the praise that Ennis has been receiving from the boxing world following his first-round knockout of Lima (14-2, 10 KOs) in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>Ennis\u2019 win over Lima has overshadowed Crawford\u2019s razor-close victory over Canelo Alvarez on September 13th. Ennis rifled Lima with shots, dropping him twice before finishing him off with a storm of power shots. That performance left fans speechless. No one is doing that at the top level at 154, 160, or 168.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, Bud ran around the ring most of the night against Alvarez, trying not to get hit, and barely winning a 12-round unanimous decision by the scores 115-113, 115-113, and 116-112.<\/p>\n<p>Bernie: \u201cBoots Is an Average Boxer\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Boots\u2019 is an average boxer to me. He don\u2019t do nothing. These are facts. Show me something about his skillset,\u201d said Bernie Davis to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oFcImuvM6Vk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YSM Sports Media<\/a> about Jaron \u2018Boots\u2019 Ennis. \u201cYou show me something that is cold out of this world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An \u201caverage boxer\u201d wouldn\u2019t have wiped out Uisma Lima in the first round the way \u2018Boots\u2019 Ennis did last Saturday night. That takes top-level skills to do that against a knockout artist like Lima, who is better than fans think. We\u2019ll see that as time goes on when he starts fighting some of the top contenders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is he doing that is so skillful? Crawford is a guy that can go up and hang with anybody that you can see because of the way his skill set is. He beats all these different guys with skills,\u201d said Bernie.<\/p>\n<p>The way Ennis has looked in his last two fights against Uisma Lima and Eimantas Stanionis, he appears superior to Crawford in the skills department. During Terence\u2019s career, he\u2019s never looked as impressive as \u2018Boots\u2019 has in his last two fights.<\/p>\n<p>Compare how Bud looked in his last two fights against Canelo Alvarez and Israil Madrimov to the performances that Ennis turned in against Lima and Stanionis. It\u2019s like night and day. Crawford struggled in his fights with Madrimov and Canelo.<\/p>\n<p>In the eyes of many fans, Madrimov beat Crawford. Israil landed the harder, cleaner shots in every round of the fight. Now, if that were \u2018Boots\u2019 who fought Madrimov, I can picture it as a similar fight as his bouts against Lima and Stanionis.<\/p>\n<p>Crawford\u2019s Best Career Wins<\/p>\n<p>Saul Alvarez<br \/>\nErrol Spence Jr.<br \/>\nShawn Porter<br \/>\nIsrail Madrimov<br \/>\nKell Brook<br \/>\nAmir Khan<br \/>\nJeff Horn<br \/>\nJulius Indongo<br \/>\nViktor Postol<br \/>\nYuriorkis Gamboa<\/p>\n<p>These are easily Crawford\u2019s best wins of his career. Of those names, seven of them were past their prime when Bud fought them. He didn\u2019t fight a prime version of these guys: Canelo, Gamboa, Porter, Indongo, Spence, Brook, or Khan. They were all at the ends of their careers when Crawford fought them.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Nation Vegas, a Boxing Analyst covering world title fights since 2013.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760346431_968_hqdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"110\" data-end=\"450\">Nation Vegas has been writing on the fight game since 2012 and is now a featured writer with Boxing News 24.
