Canelo Alvarez<\/a> will defend his undisputed super-middleweight crown against Terence Crawford<\/a> in just over one month\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

The two pound-for-pound superstars will collide at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday 13 September<\/a>, in an event that will be broadcast worldwide live on Netflix.<\/p>\n

It sees Crawford attempt to upset the odds when he steps up two divisions from 154lbs to 168lbs, bidding to become undisputed in a third weight class after previously managing it at super-lightweight and welterweight.<\/p>\n

Another fighter that knows a thing or two about jumping up two weight classes for a fight is four-weight world champion Mikey Garcia<\/a>, who after reigning from featherweight to super-lightweight, headed from 135lbs to 147lbs for a clash with Errol Spence in March 2019.<\/p>\n

Garcia was unable to pull off the upset, as Spence made the size advantage count by claiming a dominant unanimous decision victory, with the judges scoring it 120-108, 120-108 and 120-107 in his favour.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the Canelo vs. Crawford showdown, Garcia has now given his prediction to ESNews<\/a>, and while he may have come up short himself when he headed up in weight, he is backing Crawford for the victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Crawford is going to win. I think he\u2019s going to box him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garcia was then asked if \u2018Bud\u2019s inactivity since August 2024 could be a factor in the fight, but he doesn\u2019t believe it will be.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been training. He\u2019s got the skill level, the IQ.\u201d<\/p>\n

One fighter who has previously sparred both Canelo and Crawford in his career has also given his prediction for the upcoming bout, siding with Canelo based on the size factor.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canelo Alvarez will defend his undisputed super-middleweight crown against Terence Crawford in just over one month\u2019s time.
