3 Reasons Why Terence Crawford Will Beat Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez

When Terence Crawford enters the ring on Saturday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, he will face the most dangerous and decorated opponent of his career. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) is a living legend who has broken champions down with machine-like efficiency. The undisputed super-middleweight champion is expected to dwarf Crawford—a former lightweight—in size and power, but this fight will not be won off physical strength. Crawford’s mental fortitude and mastery of the Sweet Science have catapulted the Omaha, Nebraska native to an unblemished record (41-0, 31 KOs) and titles in four separate weight classes, and he could be adding a fifth very soon.
