Canelo Alvarez was loudly cheered, while his opponent, Terenka Crawford, was heavily booed during today’s great newcomers to Las Vegas for their headliner on Saturday, September 13.
Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO) was well dressed, looking keen, in excellent condition, informing the crowd that this is one of the biggest fights in his career, defending his undisputed championships of super medium weight against Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) at the Stadium allegiant.
Shouts and mockery
If Crawford booled today was any clue, it can be deafening on Saturday evening. This is a good reason why Crawford must make sure that he comes to fight and not run all night. The host Max Kellerman asked the question of coach Crawford, Brian “Bomac” McIntyre, and rejected him, saying, “Does he look like he was escaping?”
Recycling narrative
“Is this the biggest fight in your career?” The host said Max Kellerman, asking Canelo the same tired, recycled question that he was asked many times when gathering in the fight against Crawford.
“This is one of the biggest,” said Canelo.
Alvarez fought with larger names than Crawford during his career and fought them when they were younger than him. Gennadiy Golovkin, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Shawn Porter, Miguel Cotto and Sergey Kovalev.
“You are the last two standing from this era, right?” – said Kellerman about Canelo and Crawford, who are older fighters from another era.
“Riyadh season, Netflix, you can see how massive this fight is,” said Canelo. “You have the two best pound fighters who fight each other. On Saturday, September 13 we will see who is the best.”
Promotion strength
Netflix
Huge promotion: Turki Alalshikh spent a fortune promoting this event and paying huge handbags for Canelo and Crawford. While Undercard is full of prospects, there was still a lot of money on the card.
More than a smaller footnote
At the stake of the unquestionable championships, the Super Championships in the Medium Medium Canelo championship are a more tiny footnote compared to the interest of fans of the duel. Crawford was not a massive name during his career, but thanks to the promotion and noise from the media fans were excited. This is the mentality of the herd.
“You took a great risk during your entire career. That’s why no one would fight with GGG, because you always took a great risk,” said Kellerman. “It’s a great fight against risk. You can’t afford to lose with a little guy. Do you want to tell them [the crowd] peaceful them down? “
Canelo did not take risks throughout his entire career. There are several fighters that he never fought, whose fans regretted. This is a few:
David Benavidez
Demetrius Andrade
David Morrell
Jermall Charlo: When he was still in great
Artur Beterbiev
The potential influence of Boouning
“That’s fun. I was booed earlier. Listen, they can’t fight for him. So it doesn’t matter,” said Terenki Crawford during today’s Great arrivals In Las Vegas to fight Canelo Alvarez on Saturday evening.
The mixing will probably not be on Saturday as a result, unless Crawford motivates to run. What can affect the result is the support that Canelo will receive from fans.
If the judges hear the crowd’s applause every time Alvarez lands, he can act in his favor with the score. Then there is a motivational part. Canelo has problems with endurance, but if the crowd supports him, it can give him the energy he needs to fight through his fatigue.
“When they say you will run, what will you tell them?” The commentator Max Kellerman said.
“I said it earlier. I said,” I intend to run upside down my head, “said Crawford, repeating what he said to Canelo during a press conference in Up-to-date York on Sunday, June 22, 2025.” On Saturday you will cry as I said, “said Terency, passing the terrain.
