One of the biggest fights of the year is set for this Saturday in Las Vegas. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will defend his undisputed super middleweight title against Terence Crawford, a two-time undisputed champion moving up two weight classes for this significant opportunity. Alvarez aims to maintain his elite status while Crawford seeks to silence critics.
Crawford’s last fight was in 2024 against Israil Madrimov after his 2023 defeat of Errol Spence Jr. Alvarez recently beat William Scull to reclaim his title after some lackluster performances. This bout serves both fighters as an opportunity to reaffirm their legacies.
The fight has garnered attention, prompting interest in betting markets, which will influence predictions and betting suggestions.
