Arguably the biggest fight of the year is here. Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford are set to throw down in an undisputed super middleweight title fight on Saturday night inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The fight has the opportunity to add to the legacy of both men as they near the end of storied runs inside the ring.
Crawford rose through the ranks to becoming one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport after achieving undisputed status at both 140 and 147 pounds in 2017 and 2023, respectively.
Crawford has fought just once since a 2023 beatdown of Errol Spence Jr. to become undisputed welterweight champion. He defeated Israil Madrimov in 2024 at junior middleweight in a performance that left fans wanting more from the pound-for-pound great.
“I’m not sick of people talking about the weight because the more doubters, the bigger the win will be,” Crawford’s head trainer Brian “BoMac” McIntyre said at Tuesday’s grand arrivals. “I think the difference is the IQ. If you look at Canelo, he has been fighting a certain way for a certain amount of years. But if you look at Bud, he changes his style in the midst of a fight. I think the IQ is going to be the factor.”

Alvarez, meanwhile, has let people down with his choice of opponents lately. The Mexican star recently defeated William Scull to regain his status as undisputed champ at super middleweight, but the fight was dreadful after Scull chose to run around and not fight. But now, both men get a chance to silence the doubters that have come up in a big way on the big stage.
The undercard features some rising contenders and names to get more familiar with in the space. Callum Walsh has been pegged for greatness since he began his career in Ireland a few years ago. Now, the rising Irish star gets a showcase opportunity on a massive stage when he takes on Fernando Vargas Jr. at junior middleweight. Plus, a potential future titleholder for Alvarez or Crawford to worry about is in a featured bout when interim WBC super middleweight champion Christian M’billi takes on Lester Martinez.
