Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford outboxes, upsets Canelo Alvarez in historic win

Bud just made it look easy.
What a class act in victory, as was Alvarez in defeat.
I'm glad I was able to see it live.

Wow! Yes! That was an amazing fight! Canelo did well. Terence Crawford put on an incredible performance! Great win for Terence Crawford and congratulations to him on becoming the undisputed super middleweight champion of the world! He's definitely an all-time great!

My guess is that is what they are planning to do - Bivol next. I will never bet against Bud Crawford, no matter who is in the other corner.

Maybe, but at what point will it be a bite too big to chew? Bud handled the 'bigger' Canelo with surprising ease, we all saw that.
At a certain point Bud just won't be able to do it against the truly bigger guys. It would be fun to see what happens if he goes against Bivol, but I don't need to see it.
Honestly, I would prefer to see Bud just retire undefeated, a consensus ATG, with no blemish on his record.
A perfect career, mint condition, in the box with all the papers, like a Rolex.

Sugar Bud Crawford!

Great fight. I thought Bud would stop him, but I’m just glad he won and that both guys are great sportsman.

How anyone can find more than three rounds to give Canelo is far and beyond me? I thought he looked both old and slow in there against Terence Bud Crawford.

In boxing years Canelo appeared at least fifteen years older than Crawford. His body has badly aged and declined.

Even though Bud is three years older he appeared the much younger and fresher of the two fighters.

I had that fight 118-110. Masterclass by Bud.

10-2 for Crawford. Clenelo was again given all possible pity rounds. 115-113 is insult to people with eyes.

Crawford DOMINATED Clenelo. Faster, smarter, more skilled and more confident. Let's go, CHAMP!

I'm not taking anything away from Bud because on weight alone he had no right to win the fight let alone dominate it like he did.

But let's be honest Canelo is a very limited ffighter who probably over achieved and currently way past prime (bud would have beat him prime for prime anyway)

I don't think it should be lauded as some ATG win. It just solidifies that Bud is up there with Usyk as the best of this era for his careers work overall

Crawford beat him worse than the score indicated. Canelo took his beating like a man. I don't see the need for a rematch. I don't think Canelo wants it. Hard to see where he goes from here.
