Canelo Alvarez is confident that Terence Crawford will bring the fight

Canelo Alvarez is preparing for another massive night in Las Vegas and believes Terence Crawford will approach the challenge far differently than Jermell Charlo did in 2023. Charlo moved up from junior middleweight to face Alvarez but spent most of the fight circling away, resulting in a one-sided defeat.

Crawford is taking a similar leap, moving up 14 pounds to contest Alvarez’s undisputed super middleweight crown. That being said, the Mexican champion expects him to fight with greater conviction.

Alvarez respects Crawford’s pride and pedigree as a four-division champion. While he does not see him pulling off an upset, he is certain Crawford will not follow the same passive blueprint.

Previewing the fight in an interview with Ring Magazine, Alvarez said:

“I think Crawford has more pride, that’s what I think... I don’t think it’s gonna be the same. He’s gonna try to win.”
