Coach Bernie Tha Boxer has confirmed that Terence Crawford vs. Canelo Alvarez “will take place on September 13th.”
Bernie said Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) earned his fight with unified super middleweight champion Canelo (62-2, 39 KOs) based on what he has accomplished. , and he doesn’t need to rise to 168 points to prove himself by defeating any rival competitor. What he did from 135 to 154 was enough.
Canelo Crawford confirmed
Bernie said Crawford’s name will be placed ahead of Canelo for the September 13 fight. Obviously, this is hard to believe. sounds lively Coming from Crawford and his team, but if Turki Alsheikh is willing to pay the 38-year-old Bader to move up two weight classes to fight Canelo, that’s what he wants. Depending on Canelo and Crawford’s wallets, it could be profitable. I don’t think so if the PPV price is low.
Canelo will be the one to draw the fans as Crawford is not the pay-per-view draw. Even though he had a card full of exciting fights against Ismail Madrimov last August, it didn’t generate much buy-in.
“Super fight, super fight. After all he’s accomplished and everything he’s shown in the ring, why does he need to do this? Why does he do this? Coach Bernie Tha Boxer said fight hypewhich was in response to criticism from fans who felt that Terrence Crawford should prove himself at 168 pounds to show that he deserves a shot at unified super middleweight champion Canelo Alvare A battle with Sri Lanka.
“He’s doing something that almost no one has done before. Two-time undisputed unified champion in three weight classes, but (won) four (divisions). He’s been on the equal value list for over a decade. . What more can you ask for? We don’t see a fight from Pacquiao or Mayweather or anyone of that caliber,” Bernie said.
Crawford didn’t go up against formidable opponents to become the undisputed champion of both weight classes. He’s like another Adrien Broner, winning four division world titles with the help of fringe opponents. Terrence has never beaten a great fighter to win any championship in any weight class. He moved well enough to avoid being beaten.

size doesn’t matter
“This guy (Canelo) is bigger and has experience. He’s young. Canelo is 34 or 35, something like that. Nothing comes easy for us. We never get that Pacquiao or someone of our size and global reach they make sure to stay away from us,” Burney said.
You could make the argument that Crawford has been hiding from his own fighters later in his career, much like Pacquiao did at age 37 or 38, and has shown no interest in fighting him. Crawford is in no rush to play Jalen Ennis, Bahram Murtazaliyev, Virgil Ortiz or Serhiy Bohachuk. He’s doing the same thing Pacquiao did later in his career, picking and choosing.
“We faced tough challengers and beat them. So they brought us Canelo Alvarez, a strong fighter and a legend. This is the only challenge Crawford is looking for, and rightly so. We deserve to take this challenge, on the big stage of a super fight we call “David vs. Goliath.”
“Again, we have a lot of disadvantages in this game in terms of weight and strength and accomplishments and skill. We’re going to climb that mountain. Here we go, baby. Stay tuned September 13th. Crawford vs. Cards Nero. Like I said, Crawford vs. Canelo, yes, it’s confirmed.
“Team Crawford is on his feet. Pound for pound, the best in the world. Will be super middleweight champion of the world soon,” said Burney.
