Brian “Bomac’’ McIntyre, trainer of welterweight contender Terence Crawford (32-0, 23 KOs), is sending a clear warning that his fighter will be on a mission to do a lot of damage when he steps in the ring with WBO champion Jeff Horn (18-0-1, 12 KOs).
Crawford will challenge Horn on June 9th, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
“All my fighters have that attitude of wanting to kill and destroy – seek and destroy because we come from nothing,’’ said McIntyre to Fox Sports.
For the last few weeks, there has been a lot of trash talk being flung by both sides.
Glenn Rushton, head trainer for Horn, has done numerous interviews where he explained why his boxer will shock the experts by decking Crawford to the mat.
Some of those comments have rubbed McIntyre the wrong way - and he can't wait until his fighter starts landing heavy shots on Horn.
While Horn shocked the world in July 2017 with an upset decision win over Manny Pacquiao, McIntyre is not overly impressed and he doesn't see much skill in the 2012 Australian Olympian.
However, he does expect Horn to enter the ring in top form and ready to put up a good fight.
“The pressure’s on Horn but I don’t give a damn where the pressure’s at because Horn’s still getting his ass whipped. I’m gonna look right at his coach [Rushton] and say ‘you a*******’. I tried to tell you that we was gonna win - you been talking all that s***, putting all that s*** in the newspaper – all that s*** on social media and you didn’t have a clue what you were going up against," McIntyre said.
“I think Horn and his coach are scared because they know that Terence Crawford is going to whip Jeff Horn’s butt. He don’t have much skills. He bounces around a lot but he comes to fight every single fight. He does come in shape that’s the good part about him – he will come and challenge – he will challenge Terence and that’s great because we need the best out of Terence this fight and Horn will bring the best out of Terence. I just can’t wait to shut his coach up and get my hands on that belt.’’
