Terence Crawford on Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo

Back in May 2022, Canelo Alvarez was thwarted by Dmitry Bivol at T-Mobila Arena, and now at the same venue after more than a year, he’s back to prove his might to the world. However, Charlo has promised to deliver the first-ever knockout loss to the Mexican boxer, in their fight today. Meanwhile, after arriving in Las Vegas City, Terence Crawford was asked his opinions on the fight by Showtime Boxing.

Crawford said, “I really don’t have a prediction. I think it’s going to be a great fight. I think Charlo’s going to come to fight. I think Canelo’s going to come to fight. And it’s going to give fan-friendly fight. May the best man win.” So, he hasn’t taken any sides and paid his respect to the prowess of both fighters.
