On September 13, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Canelo vs Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) will headline a huge event on Netflix, promoted by Zuffa, Sela, and Riyadh Season. We will be treated to an entertaining undercard, alongside a packed fight week schedule. The fight carries legacy, with the undisputed super middleweight title up for grabs. Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KOs) has faced some of the greatest fighters throughout his career, and Crawford remains unbeaten and will fight at super middleweight for the first time, aiming to become a three-division undisputed champion and four-division lineal champion. As we edge closer to fight week, ex-super middleweight George Groves has spoken to Adventure Gamers, and revealed his prediction for the fight.
It feels like the excitement for fight week is increasing, with it only a matter of days away. Many have shared their predictions on who will win, with opinions mostly split.
Groves has now thrown his hat into the ring: “When the fight was made, I was just like, yeah Crawford’s amazing, but Canelo’s too big. And Canelo isn’t finished just yet. But Crawford backs himself. I’m sure he’ll have a game plan. Whether it works or not, he might be that bit sharper than Canelo’s used to. And I’m sure Crawford has been sitting at home for years now, wanting Canelo, thinking he can beat him. I still think Alvarez will win this fight,” said Groves.
