Brian 'BoMac' McIntyre, the mastermind behind Terence Crawford's stunning victory against Canelo Alvarez, now sets his sights on pulling off another upset. This time, McIntyre aims to guide Lester Martinez to challenge the legendary Mexican boxer.

In September 2025, Crawford stunned the world by climbing up two weight divisions to dethrone Alvarez at super middleweight. The fight took place at the 168-pound division, where Crawford earned the coveted Undisputed Super Middleweight Crown. McIntyre fondly recalls that moment saying, "Beautiful. Damn beautiful. That's beautiful, man. I love it... Making world champions, man."

Lester Martinez presents a fresh challenge for Alvarez. He recently grabbed the WBC interim title with a stellar performance at a Pro Box main event in California. Martinez secured victory over Immanuwel Aleem through a unanimous decision and gained attention as a formidable contender.

McIntyre envisions Martinez replicating Crawford's success. He stated passionately, “He wants to be undisputed in the 168-pound division. Watch out for him. He's another legend in the making.” While titles like IBF and WBO remain vacant in this division due to Crawford's retirement other belts are held by Jose Armando Resendiz (WBA) and Christian M'billi (WBC).

As BoMac eyes another triumph against Alvarez through another protégé, he reiterates his mission: “Replicate past success by dethroning Canelo Alvarez once again with a new protégé.”
