Terence Crawford is going to finish Canelo Alvarez, says a former world heavyweight champion.<\/p>\n

On September 13, the pound-for-pound superstars will battle it out at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.<\/p>\n

The American is a natural finisher, with Crawford ruthlessly stopping Hank Lundy<\/a>, Errol Spence<\/a> and Jeff Horn. However, many believe he\u2019s too small to trouble the Mexican.<\/p>\n

But one retired fighter believes \u2018Bud\u2019 has more than enough to upset the apple cart.<\/p>\n

Sheesh: Terence Crawford became first boxer since 2005 to pull off huge accomplishment<\/a><\/p>\n

Shannon Briggs<\/a> believes Terence Crawford<\/a> can knock Canelo Alvarez<\/a> out.<\/p>\n

The American is adamant there\u2019s something truly special about the switch-hitter.<\/p>\n

In an interview with First Round TV, \u2018The Cannon\u2019 said: \u201cI\u2019ve been saying Crawford by stoppage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Utterly stunned, the host, asked: \u201cYou truly believe that could happen?\u201d<\/p>\n

Briggs confirmed: \u201cSometimes you get an Oleksandr Usyk<\/a>, Terence Crawford is like Usyk. He can fight both ways; he gets stronger as the fight goes on, he wants to prove something.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not biased because of this, I met him when he was 12 years old. He came to my gym and I could see something in his eyes. <\/p>\n

\u201cI saw him in Turkey the other day, and I said, \u2018I still see that in your eyes, there\u2019s still something in there that says I want to prove something\u2019. That\u2019s the best thing in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could be wrong. He could get stopped, but I think he\u2019s going to stop him because Canelo is good, but it\u2019s time for something else now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Terence Crawford was down after three rounds against a power-puncher before bouncing back<\/p>\n

Crawford is undeniably the smaller man against Canelo.<\/p>\n

However, he\u2019s used to being at a size disadvantage. <\/p>\n

On one occasion, the talented practitioner of the sweet science went toe-to-toe with a boxer who\u2019d fought at middleweight.<\/p>\n

After being down on the cards after three rounds, Crawford managed to knock the icon out<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Terence Crawford is going to finish Canelo Alvarez, says a former world heavyweight champion.
