Boxing fans love a great fight, and in September 2025, two pounds for pounds are to face when a united world champion of Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KO) will defend their WBA, WBC and WBO Titles against Terenca “Bud” Crawford (41-0, 31 KO).
Champion, Canelo Alvarez, is a boxer-ponher who has been a dominant master in the middleweight division for four years, while the pretender, Bud Crawford, is a qualified ring technician, which is the undisputed world champion about two weighted world champions.
Before meeting Crawford, Canelo intends to face the champion of IBF William Scull. If Canelo does what he is to do in May, the September fight will go from a great fight to the older fight for Crawford.
In July 2024, Canelo Alvarez was deprived of his title IBF, because he failed to defend him against his compulsory, William Scull. Three months later, Scull beat Vladimir Shishkin and won the free IBF belt.
If Canelo defeated Scull in May, he reigns again as the undisputed medium weight master. If this scenario goes, it means four months later, when Terence Crawford faces Canelo Alvarez, Crawford will have the opportunity to become a world champion in three validity.
After his signature with Errol Spence JR in August 2023, Terenka Crawford conducted an interview with TMZ Sports, in which he was asked about a potential clash with Canelo Alvarez. At that time, Crawford was not interested in facing Canelo when he answered a direct answer.
“No, not at all. Canelo is not really interested in the size of the size. “
Terenka Crawford changed his heart after taking part in Canelo’s fighting against Jermell Charlo and Jaime Munguia. After the clash, Canelo vs Mungia Crawford admitted that if he were in the ring from Canelo this particular night, he saw some things he could definitely exploit.
Crawford consistently called on Canelo until he reached the fight. Recently, during an interview with Fight Hub TV, coach Bomac McIntyre, Crawford’s coach, refused when he was asked to stop the fight, but pointed to Crawford identifying some weakness in Canelo’s game.
In September 2013, Floyd “Money” Mayweather defeated Canelo Alvarez at speed, side movement, a breathable and landing of keen shots. Nine years later, Dmitriry Bivol defeated Canelo, controlling the distance, using an busy stab and hitting with volume with basic arrows.
Canelo Alvarez is a legendary champion who is great all time. His plan to accumulate over 60 wins was basically the same throughout his excellent 19-year career.
Canelo will press forward with high busy protection. He exerts constant pressure during the landing of the right hand, the left hook and cruel shots in the body. He wears opponents physically and mentally until he reaches a break or a unanimous victory in the decision.
In addition to snail-paced Canelo starts and problems with durability, Terenka Crawford must see something else that he can exploit, but the question is: what does he see? Like Spence, Canelo has a predictable crime.
In his fight against Errol Spence Jr Crawford was aware of Spence’s routine offensive attack and was able to stay a step ahead. Due to the fact that Canelo has a routine offensive attack, does Crawford think that he can dictate the fight with Canelo in the same way as when he did it when he faced Spence?
As for the IQ Ring, Crawford is one of the most competent boxers in the game. Because he calls Canelo, he must have full confidence in her game plan. We do not know what the Crawford game plan is, but hypothetically, how can Terenka Crawford be defeated by Canelo Alvarez?
Canelo is a bull because it refers to the way he presses with its offensive attack. Considering this, the first thing Crawford will have to exploit is his three inches advantage to implement effective stab. Canelo is traditionally a snail-paced start, so busy JAB can win the first few rounds for Crawford.
Terenka Crawford is a versatile switch that must be made when it comes to dictating coverage and maintaining matching in the middle of the ring. Crawford will exploit side movement and relies on his reflexes to make Canelo miss and then make him pay.
Crawford’s path to victory will include discipline, technically justified and defensive responsible. Crawford must box from the outside, his time must be in place, and its sheets must be keen and true. He must control the pace of the fight by landing his crime and then leaving.
Canelo Alvarez is a juggernaut, but as two losses in his CV indicate, Canelo is an amazing boxer that can be beaten. Two key requirements for defeating Canelo are excellent and frustration.
In their duels, Canelo Alvarez both Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Dmitriry Bivol could be perfect and frustrated Canelo. As a result, both Mayweather and Bivol won decisive victories.
Terenka “Bud” Crawford has a ring intelligence, which had to be perfect, and has a set of skills that can be both problematic and frustrating for Canelo Alvarez. If Crawford is able to correctly make his game plan, fight fans can witness historical nervousness in September.
