Boxing fans love the mega struggle, and in September 2025, two pounds for pounds, they are ready to face each other, because the united super-medical world champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 ko) to defend their) your WBA, WBC and WBO title title against Terrence “Bud” Crawford (41-0, 31 KO).
The champion, Canelo Alvarez, is a boxer who has been a dominant champion for the last four years in a super-medical category, while the challenger, Bud Crawford, a technician with a qualified ring that is a two-way indisputable world champion.
Before he faced Crawford, Canelo was supposed to take over IBF champion William Scull. If Canelo does what is expected in May, September will move from a super fight to the inherited fight for Crawford in September.
Back in July 2024, Canelo Alvarez was taken away from his IBF title because he failed to defend him from his mandatory, William Scull. Three months later, Scull defeated Vladimir Shishkin and won an empty IBF belt.
If Canelo wins Scull in May, he will once again reign as the undisputed champion in the super-medical category. If this scenario is played, it means four months later, when Terrence Crawford faces Canel Alvarez, Crawford will have the opportunity to become three weights of an unrivaled world champion.
Following the victory of the signature over Errol Spence JR in August 2023, Terrence Crawford interviewed TMZ Sports, where he was asked about a potential conflict with Canel Alvarez. Then Crawford had interested in dealing with Canel because he answered the question with a direct answer.
“No, no at all. Canelo really doesn’t care about the size difference.”
Terence Crawford changed his heart after attending Canel’s fight against Jermella Charla and Jaime Munguia. After the conflict of Canelo VS Munguia, Crawford admitted that if he was in the ring with Canela that night, he saw some things he could definitely use.
Crawford continued to call Canelo consistently until an agreement was reached. Recently, during an interview with TV Fight Hub TV, Crawford coach Bomac Mcintyre refused when he asked to break the fight, but hinted at Crawford identifying some kind of weakness in Canel’s game.
Back in September 2013, Floyd “Money” Mayweather beat Canela Alvarez at speed, side movement, elusiveness and sharp desk desk. Nine years later, Dmitry Bivol beat Canelo controlling the distance, using active jab and punching volume with straight shots.
Canelo Alvarez is a legendary champion who is great all the time. His draft, which accumulated 60+ wins, was basically the same during his famous 19-year career.
Canelo will press forward with a high active guard. He exerts constant pressure as the shot of his right hand, the left hip and the wicked shots on the body. Physically and mentally carries his opponents until he gets a stop or a unanimous victory of the decision.
Outside Canel’s slow starts and a durability issue, Terence Crawford must see something else he can use, but the question is, what does he see? Similar to Spence, Canelo has a predictable offense.
In his fight against Errol Spence JR, Crawford was aware of Spence’s routine offensive attack and managed to stay one step ahead. Due to the fact that Canelo has a routine offensive attack, does Crawford believe that he can dictate the fight against Canel in the same way he did when he faced Spence?
When it comes to IQ bell, Crawford is one of the most famous boxers in the game. Because he calls Canelo, he must have complete confidence in his game plan. We do not know what Crawford’s game plan is, but the hypothetically speaking, how can Terence Crawford beat Canela Alvarez?
Canelo is a bull because it refers to the way it presses forward with its offensive attack. With the fact that it was said, Crawford will have to use his three inch achievements for implementing an effective JAB. Canelo is a traditional slow starter, so the active stab could win the first couple of rounds for Crawford.
Terence Crawford is a versatile striking stroke that must be done when it comes to dictating the range and maintaining a match in the middle of the ring. Crawford will use the side movement and rely on his reflexes to miss Canelo and then make him pay.
Crawford’s path to victory will include discipline, technical sound and defensively responsible. Crawford has to box on the outside, its time must be on the point, and its pulley must be sharp and accurate. He must control the pace of the fight, landing his insults and then throwing out.
Canelo Alvarez is a juggernaut, but as two losses in his CV show, Canelo is an extraordinary boxer that can be beat. Two key requirements for defeat Canela should be perfect and frustrate it.
In their fight against Canel Alvarez, and Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Dmitry Bivol were able to be the perfect and frustrated Canelo. As a result, Mayweather and Bivol earned decisive victories.
The “Bud” Crawford Terence has a ring intelligence needed to be perfect, and he has a set of skills that could be problematic and frustrating for Canela Alvarez. If Crawford can properly execute their game plan, Fight fans may be set to witness historical upsets in September.
