The wait’s over. Tonight in Las Vegas, Canelo Alvarez drags Terence “Bud” Crawford into Allegiant Stadium for a fight that’s pure blood-and-iron. Forget the shiny promo reels — this is the sport stripped bare, two all-timers with everything to lose, streaming live worldwide on Netflix.
Canelo’s the house general, seven years running at 168, a man who’s turned Nevada into his fortress. Crawford’s the interloper, unbeaten, moving up two weight classes like he doesn’t give a toss, hunting a third undisputed crown no man’s ever touched in the four-belt era. It’s size versus skill and somebody’s aura is getting smashed tonight.
What the Fighters Are Saying
Terence Crawford:
“God don’t make no mistakes. It’s the reason why he waited all this time to put me on this stage with another all-time great like Canelo.”
“Two Hall of Famers going head to head in one of the biggest events in the last 20 years.”
“I believe in me, my skills will win me victory.”
“What can they say? Three-time undisputed champion and the smaller fighter that went up three weight divisions to conquer one of the baddest men that’s been doing it for probably longer than me.”
Canelo Alvarez:
“There are weight classes for a reason.”
“If the money is right, I’m in… I saw in his last fight and he don’t move that much now.”
“My best performance, I’m going to put everything I have there in this fight.”
“True fighters do not need to talk.”
