Crawford Stuns Canelo in Vegas
Terence “Bud” Crawford silenced the doubters on Saturday night, stepping up two weight classes to outbox Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in front of a roaring Las Vegas crowd. From the opening bell Crawford’s movement, jab, and sharp counters kept Canelo off balance.
Canelo landed a few heavy shots early, but Crawford’s speed and timing told the story. Round after round the American picked his spots, slipping inside and scoring cleanly. By the final bell it was clear who controlled the fight.
All three judges agreed: 116–112, 115–113, 115–113, a unanimous decision. Crawford, now 42–0, becomes the first male boxer of the four-belt era to claim undisputed titles in three divisions, adding super-middleweight to his collection and etching his name even deeper into boxing history.
