Now, his trainer, Carl Greaves, has claimed that his fighter told him that despite not being taken out as quickly by him, Crawford is actually the heavier puncher.
He told Boxing Scene: “Boots Ennis is the more busy, more active fighter, in my opinion. He’s a bit younger and a bit fresher. On the other hand, Crawford is very, very patient. His timing is very good, and he plans just the right attacks at just the right times, whereas Ennis was more busy.
