In a highly anticipated showdown, both Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford successfully made weight for their upcoming bout at Allegiant Stadium this Saturday. This fight is particularly significant as Canelo will be defending his undisputed super middleweight title against the former two-division undisputed champion, Crawford.
Both fighters tipped the scales at 167.5 pounds, marking a pivotal moment for Crawford. This weight is a career-high for the undefeated boxer (41-0, 31 KOs), who is moving up from 154 pounds to challenge Canelo at 168 pounds. This transition highlights Crawford's ambition as he seeks to make history in the sport.
Should Crawford emerge victorious, he will achieve a remarkable milestone by becoming the first male boxer to become an undisputed champion in three weight classes during the four-belt era. This achievement would not only enhance his legacy but also add to the ongoing narrative of dominance in boxing.
On the other hand, Canelo Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) has been a stalwart in the super middleweight division, having fought at 168 pounds in ten of his last eleven bouts. His previous career-high weight was 174.4 pounds, recorded during his May 2022 fight against Dmitry Bivol. Canelo's experience and success at this weight class make him a formidable opponent for Crawford.
The stakes are incredibly high for both fighters as they prepare for this epic clash. As fans eagerly await the showdown, the boxing community buzzes with excitement over the potential outcomes and what this fight could mean for both Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford in the annals of boxing history.
