What’s at Stake for Terence Crawford?
Moving up to super middleweight means Crawford will vacate his WBA middleweight title, which will pass to Abass Baraou. Still, a win would place him in truly elite company — becoming an undisputed champion in three weight divisions during the four-belt era, a feat only rivaled by icons like Floyd Mayweather.
For Canelo, victory would cement his status as one of the greatest super middleweights in history, while Crawford has the chance to etch his name into boxing immortality.
