Las Vegas — What’s good, fight fans? It’s your boy Vinny here, ready to break down the absolute banger of a boxing match we’ve got coming up this weekend: Saúl “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Terence “Bud” Crawford.

This ain’t just any fight—this is a once-in-a-generation clash that’s got the whole boxing world buzzing. Two legends, two beasts in the ring, squaring off for the undisputed super middleweight crown. Let’s get into it!

First, let’s talk about why this fight is massive. Canelo, the Mexican superstar, is sitting at 63-2-2 with 39 KOs, holding the WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF super middleweight titles. Canelo is a four-division champ and has been the face of boxing for over a decade. He’s coming off a dominant win against William Scull in May, proving he’s still got that fire at 35.

Then you’ve got Crawford, the undefeated 41-0 (31 KOs) pound-for-pound king, stepping up to 168 pounds for the first time. This man’s a four-division champ himself, fresh off snatching the WBA junior middleweight belt from Israil Madrimov in August 2024. Crawford’s chasing history, aiming to be the first male boxer to go undisputed in three weight classes. That’s wild! It’s like watching two titans collide—power vs. precision Canelo’s got that brutal strength and ring IQ, but Crawford’s slick movement and counterpunching could make this a chess match for the ages.

Now, let’s be real: this fight’s got layers. Canelo’s the bigger dude naturally, and his body shots are no joke—Crawford’s going to feel those. But, Bud’s got that next-level skill, dodging and weaving like nobody’s business. If Canelo can’t pin him down, Crawford might pick him apart. The big question is whether Crawford can handle Canelo’s power at this weight. It’s a gamble, but if anyone can pull it off, it’s Bud. I’m hyped just thinking about it—my money’s on a close one, maybe going the distance, with both guys leaving it all in the ring.

The undercard? Stacked. You’ve got rising stars and brawlers ready to steal the show. Callum Walsh (14-0, 11 KOs) vs. Fernando Vargas Jr. (17-0, 15 KOs) in a junior middleweight scrap is gonna be fireworks—two undefeated prospects throwing down. Then there’s Christian Mbilli vs. Lester Martinez for the WBC interim super middleweight title — this is likely a title eliminator for the division.

Plus other bouts like Mohammed Alakel vs. John Ornelas, Serhii Bohachuk vs. Brandon Adams, and heavyweights Ivan Dychko vs. Jermaine Franklin. Even the prelims are loaded with names like Steven Nelson and Reito Tsutsumi. This card’s deep, and you know some of these young cats are going to come out swinging to make a name for themselves.

Here’s the deal on how to catch it: the whole event is streaming live on Netflix, no extra pay-per-view nonsense, which is a W for fans. It’s going down Saturday, September 13, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Prelims kick off at 2:30 p.m. PT (5:30 p.m. ET) on Tudum.com, UFC YouTube, and WWE YouTube.

The main card starts at 6:00 p.m. PT (9:00 p.m. ET), with Canelo and Crawford expected to make their ring walks around 8:30 p.m. PT (11:30 p.m. ET).
