Terence Crawford’s mega-fight with Canelo Alvarez in September is looming, and Crawford is seeking to prove himself yet again as the true pound-for-pound king.
Terence Crawford will put his undefeated record on the line against the face of boxing as he seeks to destroy Canelo Alvarez in September in Las Vegas.
The mega-fight will land on streaming giant, Netflix, and will be free for subscribers of the platform to watch.
Crawford is now 41-0 and has consistently proven himself to be an elite talent, especially when he one-upped a legend in dramatic fashion.
Terence Crawford did what Adrien Broner couldn’t against common opponent
In 2015, the loudmouth, brash, cocky Adrien Broner faced 27-5 John Molina Jr. Broner was not far removed from his loss to Marcos Maidana, who wore Mayweather’s tooth on a necklace, and was looking to secure an impressive win against the seasoned foe.
He won in style, with Molina winning zero rounds on two scorecards, and two rounds on the other. The near shut-out victory was an impressive performance against Molina, who had only been stopped twice before.
In 2016, it was Crawford’s turn to face Molina, who hadn’t lost since the Broner fight.
‘Bud’ dispatched Molina with ease in the third round of their super-lightweight contest, with it now painfully clear that Crawford was not a man to be underestimated, and was a man who could do what Broner couldn’t.
Former foes of both Canelo and ‘Bud’ have weighed in on the mega-fight
Numerous fighters have weighed in on the mega-fight, but a few names stand out.
Canelo’s former foes Shane Mosley and Rocky Fielding have both given their view on Canelo vs Crawford, and Crawford’s past rival Kell Brook has also weighed in on the match-up.
Fielding believes Canelo is too big for Crawford, and Mosley thinks Canelo wins too.
Despite having shared the ring with Crawford and witnessing his greatness firsthand, Brook also believes Canelo beats ‘Bud’.
