Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford Set for Saturday on Netflix With Canelo Slight Favorite

Oddsmakers make Álvarez a slight favorite due to Crawford’s leap to 168 pounds.

Overview

  • The undisputed super-middleweight title fight is scheduled for Sept. 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
  • Sportsbooks list Álvarez around -165 to -190 and Crawford +135 to +155, with oddsmakers citing the size gap after Crawford’s two-division move.
  • Crawford dismissed online rumors of a shoulder issue at fight-week events, saying he is healthy and confident in his power at 168.
  • Dana White called a reported $100 million guarantee for Álvarez plausible, and Crawford said he is contracted for $10 million.
  • Álvarez enters off a widely criticized, low-output win over William Scull and has not scored a knockout in four years, factors that raise questions about his form.
