Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford is in Las Vegas on September 12 amid ‘Fight of the Century’

Turki Alalshikh announced the Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford “Big Fight” tonight for September 12 at Las Vegas Stadium. He calls it the “Fight of the Century, ” which does not reflect reality. It’s more like ‘Fight of the month’ for September.

Crawford entered the ring after Canelo’s 12-round victory over IBF super-middleweight champion William Scull. The victory made Canelo (63-2-2, 39 cost) a two-time undisputed champion. He needs that title as a point of sale for the Crawford match, because he is a former unparalleled champion with two divisions, after doing so at 140 and 147.

Surprisingly, Bud Crawford looked bigger than Canelo tonight. During the face you could see that he looked thicker and heavier than Alvarez, who looked in the 180s for his fight against Scull. Crawford is eating well in the nine months he has been out of the ring since his razor victory over Israil Madrimov in his debut on August 3 last year.

“Now, we want to do the fight of the century. The fight in September between the two major fighters in our generation, Canelo Alvarez and Crawford,” said Turki Alalshikh, Inside the ring After Alvarez’s victory over the IBF super -middleweight champion William Scull. ‘It will be in the stadium in Las Vegas on September 12.

Many accidental box fans are not fans of Crawford. He is popular with a segment of the hardcore box fans who enjoy watching fighters who practice the ‘hit-and-not-not-hit’ style. He does not fight aggressive enough to be popular with mainstream fans.

Turki did not call the PPV price for the ‘big battle’ between Canelo and Crawford. There will be many unfortunate box fans if the cost is $ 100As with the Floyd Mayweather jr. against Manny Pacquiao fight. Since tonight’s Canelo-Scull match was for $ 60 Dazn ppvDo you need to think that the Canelo-Crawford event will be higher.

It is a good fight, but not near the level Turki nominates it. Crawford is not the battle that fans want to see. They want Canelo to fight against David Banavidez, not the outdated Crawford.
