Terence Crawford vs Canelo

Crawford vs Alvarez will be a fight for the ages. “Bud” is to many, the greatest switch hitter of all time. He carries plenty of power in both hands, and his ring IQ is exceptional. He feints and jabs his opponents to set up power shots, and his mobility will pose a serious test for Alvarez.

Canelo, while not scoring any KO wins in recent years, has scored knockdowns against fighters such as Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia. The Mexican star is defensively astute, with a high guard that’s hard to penetrate. Alavrez is brilliant at slipping punches and countering, making his clash with “Bud” even more intriguing.

Terence Crawford vs Canelo promises to be a fascinating watch as two of the greatest fighters of their era collide.
