Canelo Alvarez, Terence Crawford Set for September Showdown

Terence Crawford is set to face Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez on September 13 in Las Vegas, moving up two weight classes for the bout, which has generated significant buzz in the boxing community. While Crawford aims to solidify his legacy with a win, boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya predicts that Canelo's size and power will ultimately overwhelm Crawford, despite acknowledging his technical skills. De La Hoya expects the fight to be competitive initially but believes Canelo will gain the upper hand after several rounds. Crawford's recent training has raised questions about whether he can handle the weight increase effectively, with fellow fighter Gervonta Davis suggesting that Crawford's motivations are financially driven rather than for the challenge. Both fighters are preparing for this highly anticipated matchup, which is expected to be a historic event in boxing. Before the clash, Canelo is scheduled to defend his titles against IBF champion William Scull in May, adding further stakes to the September fight.
