At the end of the match with William Scull, Canelo Alvarez won the point, but he also confirmed this was a boring victory. He said: “I do not like to fight against such opponents.
However, Canelo certainly found the next opponent much more interesting than Scull. Boss Turki Alalshikhkkhh has to Canelo Alvarez to face Terence Crawford right after the match. Both will fight on September 12 in Las Vegas, USA, also a “super classic” match.
A competition between Canelo and Terence Crawford can be a bit “warping” because it is unclear what weight they will fight. Because Terence Crawford has only played in the highest weight class, Junior (Light) Middleweight (Super Welterweight – Super Trung Trung), less than 2 classes compared to the current class of Canelo, Super Middleweight (Super Trung).
According to information from Mr. Turki Alalshikh, the competition between Canelo and Terence Crawford will be the Canelo belt protection match. That also means that Terence Crawford will play in a much larger weight class than before. It was obviously the disadvantage of Crawford, but he could make a surprise.
In the past, Terence Crawford used to play in 4 different weight classes, Lightweight, Super Lightweight, Welterweight and Super Welterweight. He is also a rare boxer who acquires the entire championship belt in two different weight classes, Light Welterweight (Super Lightweight – Super Light) and Welterweight.
