Undefeated Crawford Faces Canelo in September Super Middleweight Showdown

The highly anticipated boxing match between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez is set for September 13, 2025, in Las Vegas, with Alvarez favored due to his size, power, and experience in higher weight classes. Crawford, undefeated at 41-0, is moving up two weight divisions and embraces his underdog status, expressing confidence in his speed, technical skill, and ability to overcome bigger opponents. Both fighters face significant stakes: Alvarez risks his status as boxing's top pound-for-pound fighter, while Crawford puts his unbeaten record and legacy on the line. Critics like WBA welterweight champion Rolly Romero highlight the size difference and accuse Alvarez of cherry-picking smaller opponents, citing previous fights with fighters moving up in weight. Meanwhile, actor Michael Jai White, known for portraying Mike Tyson, argues that Crawford's speed and movement give him an edge over Alvarez, likening their matchup to the 2013 Mayweather-Canelo fight but favoring Crawford. Despite Alvarez's knockout power, the fight is expected to be highly competitive, with Crawford aiming to prove himself as one of the best fighters across multiple weight classes.
