Las Vegas hosts another prize-fighting spectacle this weekend.
This contest, a bout between undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez and multiple-time world champion Terence Crawford, promises to enchant the masses of pugilism enthusiasts set to pack into Allegiant Stadium’s concourses on Saturday.
Alvarez (65-2-2, 39 knockouts) is a tactician in the ring, armed with a pistol-like right hand, most effective as a counter. He specializes in subtlety, using feints and pressure to keep his adversary guessing. He’ll draw out attacks with his footwork before delivering crunching blows via hook and uppercuts.

He’ll get quite the test in Crawford (41-0, 31 knockouts), a gifted all-arounder who can operate well out of a switch stance. Few boxers in recent memory have proven as adaptable as Crawford.
Alvarez and Crawford are two of the greatest boxers of their generation. After years of swirling around in each other’s orbits, they’ll finally get to lock horns. The sweet science is better for it.
So, just when can viewers expect to see Alvarez and Crawford compete on Saturday night? The Sporting News has you covered.
