Gervonta Davis has shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight between Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Terence Crawford. The boxing world got excited when the bout was announced for September 12 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The fight comes on the heels of Canelo's recent victory over William Scull. Alvarez won by unanimous decision, reclaiming his undisputed super-middleweight championship. This achievement made him the first fighter to do so in the 'four belt era'.
Davis, known for his straightforward style, didn't hold back when discussing Crawford's motivation for the fight. He said:
"Crawford needs the money. I'm telling you … That's why he says he don't like me, cause I speak real s**t."
The outspoken boxer continued, sharing his thoughts on the weight difference between the two fighters:
"I ain't trying to convince y'all that he can beat Canelo! He's a good fighter, but… Bro, I would say smaller fighters are always better than bigger fighters cause they know how to move and things like that."
Davis emphasized that he's just telling it like it is, describing himself as someone who speaks the truth.
The fight presents a huge challenge for Crawford, who's stepping up two whole weight classes. If he wins, he'll become a five-division world champion and the first male boxer to win an undisputed championship in three weight classes.
Canelo, on the other hand, has been a dominant force at 168lbs for seven years. He's beaten top fighters like Gennady Golovkin, Jermell Charlo, and Callum Smith. Now, he's looking to add Crawford to his impressive list of victories.
The boxing world will watch with bated breath as these two pound-for-pound stars face off in what promises to be an unforgettable super-middleweight showdown.
