Overview

• The undisputed super-middleweight title fight is scheduled for September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, streaming exclusively on Netflix with no open television in Mexico.
• Canelo has worked with Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Yoenli Hernández in camp, a pairing trainers say mimics Crawford’s switch-hitting style, and Crawford vowed there will be “no excuses” after fight night.
• Crawford’s trainer Brian “BoMac” McIntyre dismissed the Ennis sparring as irrelevant, arguing “Boots is not Crawford” and that it “won’t help” Álvarez.
• WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán defended Álvarez and called Juan Manuel Márquez “envious” after Márquez criticized Canelo’s opponent selection and alleged preferential treatment.
• Predictions remain split, with Ryan García and Mike Tyson citing Álvarez’s size and power, while Tim Tszyu and Amir J. Tyson back Crawford’s speed and variety.
