Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is the Favorite to Win

Betting odds are starting to show a likelihood towards Saul “Canelo” Alvarez winning the fight against Terence Crawford this September.

If it happens, the bout will serve as Riyadh Season’s main event, providing sports fans everywhere with an unmissable night of boxing. Plus, it is likely to result in an exciting undercard that will make the PPV fight worth every penny.

While Crawford remains undefeated, Canelo has proven time and again he’s unstoppable in the ring.

For instance, he won the match against Edgar Berlanga by unanimous decision in September 2024. Also, he won the four previous fights before it against Jaime Munguia, Jermell Charlo, John Ryder, and Gennady Golovkin.

Canelo will continue his tradition of fighting in May, too, as he’ll meet William Scull in the ring. If he defeats him, Alvarez will reclaim the IBF super middleweight title, making him the undisputed super middleweight champion.

It’s unconfirmed what weight class Alvarez and Crawford will box at, but it’s likely to be at super middleweight. However, Canelo has proven weight isn’t an issue for him, as he’s won titles in four weight divisions throughout his career, starting from light middleweight to light heavyweight.

Terence Crawford Isn’t an Underdog

Terence Crawford is far from an underdog, as he poses a real threat to Canelo Alvarez in the ring.

If you are unfamiliar with Crawford’s career, he is the reigning WBA junior middleweight champion.

As the 37-year-old US fighter only weighs 154 pounds, he’ll need to jump two weight classes to face Canelo in the ring. However, like his rumored opponent, he has fought in four weight classes, starting from lightweight to light middleweight.

He is reportedly confident he can win the match, which could likely be the most difficult of his career.

Since Crawford united with Turki Alalshikh, a Saudi powerbroker, he has expressed an eagerness to fight the 34-year-old Mexican boxer.

While Canelo had rejected the offer in the past, excitement for the fight has reportedly warmed him to the idea, and it will provide Crawford with an opportunity to showcase his skills against one of the best boxers in the world.

Unlike Alvarez, Crawford doesn’t appear to have another fight on the calendar this year, meaning fans might worry his inactivity would impact his ability in the ring.

Yet, as Keith Idec from The Ring stated on February 1, 2025, “Crawford has history on his side because, unlike most championship-caliber boxers, he has performed at an elite level even when ending long periods of inactivity.”
