Canelo Alvarez Defends Super-Middleweight Title Against Terence Crawford in Las Vegas

News summary

On September 13, Canelo Alvarez will defend his undisputed super middleweight title against Terence Crawford at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, in what is anticipated as one of boxing's biggest fights. Crawford, moving up two weight divisions, aims to become the first three-division undisputed champion, but faces skepticism about handling Canelo's power at 168 pounds. Promoter Bob Arum favors Crawford to win, citing his ambidextrous fighting style and recent superior competition, while Canelo considers Crawford possibly a better fighter than Floyd Mayweather, whom he previously lost to. Despite earlier doubts about competing at super middleweight, Crawford has committed to the challenge, recognizing the high risk and potential reward. Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao advises Crawford to manage his body, speed, and power carefully to overcome the size and strength advantages of Canelo. Former champion George Groves regards Canelo's trilogy with Gennadiy Golovkin as his favorite fight, suggesting the Crawford bout, while mega, may not surpass that rivalry in excitement.
