Terence Crawford is etching his name in the annals of boxing history. On Saturday, he claimed the title of the first three-division undisputed champion of the four-belt era, defeating Canelo Alvarez, a former champion in the super middleweight division.
Crawford ascended two weight classes to pursue this achievement, and his newfound muscle didn’t slow him down. With impressive speed and evasion, he outmaneuvered Alvarez’s powerful punches and retaliated with sharp combinations. Whenever it seemed Alvarez was gaining momentum, Crawford seized control, resulting in a unanimous decision win for “Bud.”
Having previously been the inaugural two-division undisputed champion, Crawford solidified his legacy further by achieving his status in three weight classes—an unprecedented feat. This victory also overshadowed his celebrated win in 2023 against Errol Spence Jr. Despite facing challenges in matchmaking for significant fights, Crawford’s recent triumph in Las Vegas has potentially boosted his legacy.
