Saul `Canelo` Alvarez suggests he anticipates overpowering Terence Crawford in their upcoming super fight.
Undefeated Terence Crawford is moving up two weight divisions to challenge Mexican superstar `Canelo` for the undisputed super-middleweight world title on September 13 in Las Vegas.
Canelo competes in his preferred weight class, having recently unified the super-middleweight titles with a points victory over William Scull. He indicates his belief that his strength and power will be too much for the highly skilled Crawford.
Canelo stated, “I`ve been both the favorite and not the favorite. I`ve experienced both scenarios, but I will be very disciplined. I`ll give my best effort in training camp.”
“This isn`t an easy fight, especially with him moving up weight. I`ve been in that position myself, and it shows that weight class doesn`t matter when you are a truly great fighter.”
“I possess experience, power, and I believe my weight gives me an advantage. It will be a good fight, but I am here to win.”
Crawford, a four-weight world champion, has expertly defeated every opponent he`s faced. He claims he is motivated by those who doubt his bold decision to challenge Canelo.
He remarked, “It simply motivates me to step out there and deliver a great performance. This is my homecoming bout.”
“I anticipate winning, regardless of how it happens.”
However, Canelo expressed equal confidence, predicting a win that will define his career.
He stated, “This will be one of the best fights of my career. Winning this fight is extremely important to me. I love boxing, I love winning. I`m a winner, so I`m very eager to get into the ring.”
