Boxing has its first superbout in a long, long time.
Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is fighting Terence “Bud” Crawford on September 13th in Las Vegas.
There must be a Brinks Truck worth of money in it for Bud to take this fight as the significantly lighter man.
He’s a natural welterweight at 147 and didn’t display much power in his one fight at 154 lbs.
The super fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will be aired worldwide on Netflix on September 13. The historic streaming deal could will put boxing back on the map.
Betting on Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford is available already at BetOnline.
Canelo is a natural super middleweight at 168 lbs. and has fought as high as 175 at light heavyweight.
Jumping up basically three weight classes for a 38-year old Crawford is no joke.
The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag opened this fight with Canelo at -150 (2/3) and Bud at +120 (6/5).
The fight line had quickly moved in Canelo’s favor, likely due to the size difference.

ESPN Deportes' Julius Julianis suggested a deal is already in place. Other sources have suggested it can happen as early as May, though such plans sound extremely ambitious.
The oddsmakers weren't going to wait around to find out though.
