Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will fight for the four most important championship belts in boxing: WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF super middleweight. The winner will not only unify the belts, but will also be honored as "absolute champion".
Therefore, there are many "big words" described by the world media about this match. Words such as "super middleweight boxing match", "fight of the century" were constantly mentioned before the match.
Terence Crawford is a 37-year-old American boxer who is a world champion in four different weight classes. He is the "absolute champion" in the light welterweight and welterweight divisions. He also holds an undefeated record since turning professional.
Canelo Alvarez (35 years old) has an equally impressive record. He is also a world champion in 4 different weight classes, and was once the "absolute champion" of the super middleweight division.
That is why the match between these two boxers has attracted so much attention. ESPN even commented that the winner of this match deserves to be called the best boxer in the world.
Going into the fight, the two boxers used different tactics. Terence Crawford, despite being older, had a longer reach and focused on attacking the head. Meanwhile, Canelo chose to punch his opponent's body.
And Crawford showed he had the better decision-making. His fast, unpredictable shots landed consistently. Canelo was persistent, but he didn't land as many punches as his opponent.
Crawford got smarter as the fight progressed. He tried to defend, moving constantly to avoid blows instead of continuing to attack. This made Canelo more impatient and there were many situations where he lost control. Reasonable tactics and intelligence helped Crawford win overwhelmingly with scores of 116-112, 115-113, 115-113.
The American boxer extended his unbeaten record to 42. Terence Crawford also became the first person in history to hold the title of "absolute champion" in three different weight classes.
