Is Canelo vs. Crawford nervous about creating?
Published

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.

Emiliano Vargas targets fight with George Kambosos after Bryce Mills fight

“Because before this fight, I would love to fight George Kambosos,” Vargas told Sean Zittel when discussing potential opponents after the Mills fight.
Emiliano stressed that his focus remains on Mills, but made it clear that he believes he is getting closer to the title.
“I’m going to show the world that I’m ready to fight for the title,” Vargas said.
The son of former two-time world champion Fernando Vargas believes that a good performance on the Jaron Ennis-Xander Zayas card can give him significant progress in the competition.
“After this fight, I would love to have a title eliminator or former world champion,” Emiliano said. “I’m second in the WBO rankings, 12th in the WBC. I’m there and I’m knocking on that door.”
Vargas comes into the fight off a win over Agustin Quintana in February. While this performance sparked debate among some fans, Emiliano considers the innings he saved as valuable experience in continuing to develop his game.
The undefeated fighter claims that during the last camps he expanded his training team and worked intensively on movement, angles and fighting under pressure. He also recently spent time in David Benavidez’s camp, drawing inspiration from the former world champion’s work ethic and aggressive style.
If Emiliano beats Mills on Saturday, attention will quickly turn to who will be next. From his comments, Kambosos is at the top of the list.
Kambosos, a former unified lightweight champion, would represent the most recognizable name of Vargas’ career and potentially take him one step closer to the title eliminator he thinks he wants next.

Gervonta Davis is currently fighting to return to one of the biggest fights in American boxing: “His team reached out”

The future of Gervonta Davis remains one of the most talked about topics in boxing.
The Baltimore star hasn’t fought since a controversial draw with Lamont Roach Jr., which many observers felt should have gone against him after Roach was denied a knockout. Since then, a combination of legal issues and uncertainty surrounding his return plans have left fans confused about what will happen next.
Recently, however, there have been signs that “Tank” Davis is getting closer to a return. The WBA has ordered him to defend his lightweight world title against mandatory challenger Floyd Schofield, with Schofield’s camp previously suggesting progress was being made behind the scenes.
While Schofield was considered the favorite, another familiar option could now emerge.
On Sunday evening on social media, three-division world champion Devin Haney revealed that he was contacted directly by the “Tanka” team.
“I think Gervonta has gained some balls…his team has reached! We can just fight!”
I think Gervonta has gained some balls. His team reached for it! We might end up fighting! 😅
— Devin Haney (@Realdevinhaney) June 22, 2026
The timing is especially engaging given Haney’s current position. The WBO welterweight champion has recently been linked to both Shakur Stevenson and mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis, while “Tank’s” immediate future appeared to be tied to Schofield.
A fight between any two fighters: Davis, Haney and Stevenson would be one of the biggest fights in boxing today. However, there are two main obstacles standing in the way of a Davis-Haney fight.
The first is Haney’s mandatory duty. WBO president Gustavo Olivieri recently confirmed that the champion has been ordered to face Keyshawn Davis next and will not receive an exception to fight another fight.
The second, and perhaps bigger, issue for Davis is weight. “Tank” is the most comfortable lightweight campaign, while Haney now looks like a legitimate welterweight, even though he has only had one fight in the division so far. He seemed open to offering a catchweight of 144 pounds to fight Stevenson, but even that would be a significant disadvantage to Davis.

Devin Haney says Gervonta Davis’ team has made contact and declines to discuss the hydration clause

Devin Haney says that after years of calls for a fight, a fight with Gervonta Davis may finally be closer to reality.
Haney revealed on social media that Tank Davis’ team recently reached out about a potential fight. When the fan responded by warning him not to agree to any hydration restrictions, Haney quickly dismissed the idea.
“Never,” Haney repeated X about not wanting to agree to the rehydration clause.
The response came shortly after Haney suggested that discussions had begun between the two sides.
“I think Gervonta has gained some balls. His team has reached! We can just fight! 😅– Haney wrote.
The fight between Haney and Gervonta is one of the longest unanswered questions in boxing. Haney continued to fight multiple times during his lightweight title fight, but the fight never materialized despite years of public calls and fan demands.
San Francisco-born Haney became the undisputed lightweight champion in 2022, and Davis continued to build his profile as one of boxing’s biggest pay-per-view attractions.
Haney’s rejection of rehydration clauses will likely become a talking point if negotiations move forward. Hydration restrictions became a major topic of debate ahead of Tank’s 2023 fight with Ryan Garcia, with many fans criticizing the terms of the deal.
Devin has recently been linked to potential fights against Ryan Garcia, Shakur Stevenson and Keyshawn Davis. His latest comments put Gervonta Davis back into the conversation after years of failed attempts to make the fight happen.
