Terence Crawford, ahead of his highly anticipated fight against Canelo Álvarez, expressed strong confidence in his ability to defeat Canelo not only in boxing but in almost any challenge, joking that the only thing Canelo might beat him in is horseback riding. The bout, set for Saturday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and streaming live on Netflix, will see Crawford defend his perfect 41-0 record. A notable bettor has placed $715,000 on Crawford to win, highlighting growing confidence in his victory.

Despite Crawford’s impressive achievements, including world titles in four weight classes and multiple pound-for-pound top rankings, he has not enjoyed the same level of respect or popularity as Canelo, who has faced higher-profile opponents like Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Gennady Golovkin. Crawford aims to change that narrative with this fight, vowing to prove his critics wrong and showcase his talent on a bigger stage.
