Canelo vs. Crawford Fight Week: Odds Favor Álvarez as WBC Unveils Undisputed Ring

The Netflix-only bout spotlights Canelo’s size at 168 against Crawford’s bid to become a five-division champion.

Overview

  • The undisputed super middleweight title fight is set for Sept. 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and will stream exclusively on Netflix.
  • Sportsbooks price Álvarez as a modest favorite (roughly -165 to -190) as bettors weigh his size edge and his historically low output against William Scull in May.
  • Crawford, moving up two weight classes to 168 pounds, dismissed shoulder-injury rumors at Grand Arrivals and said he is fully fit.
  • The WBC revealed a Crown Series Undisputed Championship ring for the winner, featuring nearly 10 carats of stones and an Allegiant Stadium motif, valued at over $100,000.
  • Promoter Dana White said the event justifies massive purses and suggested it likely required about $100 million to secure Álvarez for the matchup.
