Alright, let’s just call it what it is: Terence “Bud” Crawford just cooked Canelo Alvarez in front of the world. A full-blown boxing clinic. Technical. Precise. Cold-blooded. And now? Bud walks out of Las Vegas as the undisputed super middleweight champ. All the belts. All the smoke. All the history.
Everyone and their mother had questions. Bud jumping up two weight classes to face the Mexican tank known as Canelo? People thought he was crazy. Too small. Too light. Too late in the career to gamble. And what does Bud do? He shrugs, tapes up the gloves, and proceeds to outbox one of the greatest pressure fighters of this generation.

By the championship rounds, it was obvious. Canelo swinging heavy, Bud still fresh, still sharp, still sticking that jab in his face. Judges couldn’t ignore it — 116-112, 115-113, 115-113. Unanimous decision. Clear win.
TERENCE CRAWFORD IS THE UNDISPUTED SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION AFTER 12 ROUNDS WITH CANELO ÁLVAREZ 🐐 #CaneloCrawford
