Deal Reached for Canelo vs Crawford: The Big Fight at Allegiant Stadium!

A deal has been reached for what promises to be one of the most anticipated and talked-about fights of the year. As reported by The Ring magazine through its social media channels, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Terence “Bud” Crawford will face off in September at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The venue has a capacity of about 65,000 seats, and Canelo vs Crawford will be the first boxing event in its history.

As we explained in our analysis of the reasons for optimism and pessimism for Terence Crawford’s fans (click here to read the article), this fight has sparked mixed reactions among fans and insiders. Opinions are sharply divided between those who believe the American has a real shot at winning and those who see the matchup as a complete mismatch.

The skepticism stems from the significant weight difference between the two fighters: while Crawford currently competes at super welterweight, a division he only moved up to last summer, Canelo has dominated the super middleweight category for years and will undoubtedly have a considerable size advantage in the ring.

Nevertheless, the fight is expected to generate massive interest, as it features two elite fighters ranked prominently in the P4P rankings. Saul Alvarez is currently ranked seventh by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, while Terence Crawford holds an even higher position at number three.

The choice of Allegiant Stadium as the event venue suggests that the Riyadh Season organizers anticipate a massive turnout, far exceeding that of many world championship fights held in the United States in recent years.
