US box star Terence Crawford won the Megafight against Mexican Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and is the first boxer of undisputed world champion in three weight classes.
In the huge allegiant stage of the football team Las Vegas Raiders, the still undefeated crawford after twelve gripping rounds in front of over 70,000 spectators unanimously secured the super middle weight titles according to IBF, WBC and WBO version.
“Canelo is a big champion and still boxed today, but God blessed me and only made me this night for me,” said the 37 -year -old Crawford after his 42nd victory in his 42nd professional fight, which could also have been his last one: “I don’t know, I have to put up with my team.”
“Bud” Crawford, which is also led as “Undisputed Champion” in the semi-world and world weight, had bought muscle mass for the duel in Las Vegas and also determined the fight. All three judges ultimately saw him in front, although with 116: 112, 115: 113 and 115: 113 more scarce than expected after the course of the fight.
It was the third defeat for the Alvarez, which was two years younger, in the 68th professional fight. He had previously lost to Floyd Mayweather and Dmitri Biwol. The era of the Mexican folk hero is coming to an end.
Alvarez, who has long since made his nickname Canelo (German: cinnamon), which was gotten through his red-brown hair, had to take a lot of might against Crawford.
The Mexican, who is famous for his almost indestructible chin, was quite unimpressed by the American’s hard goals. But overall, Alvarez was able to record too few of its own.
