Terence Crawford’s performance in his win against Canelo Alvarez can’t be spoken of highly enough. Despite moving up two weight classes and being the consensus smaller fighter, he walked away with a unanimous decision win, becoming the undisputed super middleweight champion in the process.<\/p>\n
He is now 42-0-0 with 31 knockout wins and a three weight undisputed champion, the first male boxer to do so. Crawford has never had a split or majority decision win on his resume, with all of his wins coming via stoppage or unanimous decision.<\/p>\n
A Canelo rematch is being discussed by fans and experts. However, Crawford’s camp believes there isn’t a need for that and ‘Bud’ will stop Canelo if it goes down. <\/p>\n

Bernie ‘Da Boxer’ Davis, one of Crawford’s coaches, has claimed that Crawford would stop Canelo in a rematch. Speaking to MillCity Boxing,<\/a> he said, “I think we could stop him the second time. I think it\u2019ll be worse because I feel a sharp Bud Crawford, I don\u2019t think Canelo can hurt him. None of the s*** that he [Canelo] was doing worked.”<\/p>\n “He thought Crawford was going to run like William Scull. He thought Crawford couldn\u2019t hurt him. I don\u2019t see any calls for a rematch because Bud handled him.”<\/p>\n Crawford landed some notable strikes on Canelo during the fight and handled what the Mexican had to offer pretty well. Canelo, however, has been known to have one of the best chins in the history of boxing. Hence, stopping Canelo would certainly be monumental. <\/p>\n Canelo is 63-3-2, 39 KOs and his legacy in boxing is cemented despite the Crawford loss. However, the Crawford defeat came at 168 lbs, a division he has made his kingdom over the years. Canelo lost to Floyd Mayweather at a young age and the Dmitry Bivol loss was at light heavyweight. Crawford, though, beat him at super middleweight, which might trigger the Mexican to avenge the result.<\/p>\n However, Eddie Hearn doesn’t think Alvarez will go down that route, as the Matchroom Boxing head stated<\/a>, “I don\u2019t think Canelo will want the rematch. I think there\u2019s a rematch clause. I don\u2019t know. … It\u2019s very unusual for Canelo to go into a fight without a rematch clause. But, for me, I just can\u2019t see Canelo going, ‘Yes, I want to run that back.\u2019”<\/p>\n IMAGO \/ PxImages <\/p>\n Hearn thinks stylistically, Crawford will always be a difficult match-up for Alvarez.<\/p>\n “A certain style is not good for Canelo. When I talked about the Crawford fight with Canelo two years ago, he had no interest in that fight because he knew. Talk about Crawford\u2019s IQ, Canelo\u2019s IQ, Reynoso\u2019s IQ \u2014 they know boxing. They knew that fight was a nightmare for them, really.”<\/p>\n –\u00a0Eddie Hearn<\/p>\n The Latest Boxing News:<\/p>\n Terence Crawford Stripped Of WBA Title Belt In Telling Career Move<\/a><\/p>\n Jake Paul Targeting One Former World Champion and One Internet Star for 2026 Bouts, Says Manager<\/a><\/p>\n Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis Undercard Bouts Confirmed As Four Title Fights Announced<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
