"Saul Canelo Alvarez stands in the way of Terence Crawford's bid for boxing history on Saturday when they clash in Las Vegas for Alvarez's undisputed super middleweight world title. Crawford, a four-division champion, is jumping up two weight divisions for the bout in a bid to become the first male boxer to become an undisputed champion in three different categories."
"Unbeaten with a record of 41-0 with 31 knockouts, Crawford previously claimed all four belts on offer at super lightweight and welterweight. But the 37-year-old American will step into the ring at Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders, an underdog against Mexican great Alvarez. Alvarez, who owns a record of 63-2-2 with 39 knockouts, is also a four-division champ and the only fighter to claim a four-belt undisputed title at super middleweight"
"This fight for me is one of the biggest fights in my career, Alvarez said at a Thursday night news conference attended by thousands of fans at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. After nearly four years without a knockout win, Alvarez said he is looking for a decisive victory. I'll give it everything I have, and if the knockout comes, good, he said. If not, I'm going to show why"
