Canelo Alvarez, Terence Crawford Weigh in At 167½ Pounds

Saul Canelo Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) and Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) both made weight ahead of their showdown on Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Alvarez will defend his undisputed title in super-middleweight division against undefeated Crawford.

Alvarez and Crawford made weight in separate rooms at Fontainebleau Las Vegas from the 18 fighters scheduled to compete on their undercard Saturday night at Allegiant Stadium on Netflix (9 p.m. ET).

Crawford came in at a career-high 167½ pounds for his super middleweight debut. Alvarez also weighed 167½.

Organizers of the event didn’t offer an explanation as to why Crawford and Alvarez didn’t step on the Nevada State Athletic Commission scale in the same conference room as the other fighters.
If Crawford wins, he will become first male boxer in four-belt era to become undisputed champion in three weight divisions.

“It’s up there with all of them,” Crawford told CNN when asked how the fight compares to the other legendary encounters. “It’s up there with all of those great fights. … All the great fights in the history, this fight is up there with all of them.”

Álvarez expressed a similar sentiment, agreeing when asked about his publicist’s opinion that the bout with Crawford is bigger than Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.

“I think so. People are gonna watch it more, right? And I think it’s bigger than that,” Álvarez told CNN en Español. “For everything is around, it’s on Netflix, (everything) you see, this is bigger than any fight, so I think so too.”
