Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez will face off in a big boxing match on September 13 in Las Vegas. Crawford's getting ready with some unusual training methods, while Canelo's the clear favorite to win.
Crawford, known as "Bud," has an impressive record of 41 wins with 31 knockouts. He's held titles in both the super lightweight and welterweight divisions. His career started back in 2008 when he knocked out Brain Cummings in his debut fight. Since then, he's climbed through the weight classes, winning his first title at lightweight against Ricky Burns. Now, at 37 years old, he's seen as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters out there.
For this fight, Crawford's taking a page from Marvin Hagler's book. Hagler was famous for isolating himself before fights, meditating, and training like a monk. Crawford's going all in with his preparation, focusing on discipline and passion for the sport.
Crawford's Instagram shows him moving to the beat of Ghostface Killah's "Back Like That" as part of his training. He's also working with diagonally placed ropes to practice hitting and dodging.
Crawford knows he's got to give more than 100% to beat Canelo. He's leaving nothing to chance in his training. This fight's a big deal for Crawford, and he wants to put on a great show in Las Vegas.
Crawford's come a long way since his debut in the super lightweight class back in 2008. He won his first title at lightweight and now he's fighting at 154 pounds in the super welterweight division.
The September 13 showdown in Las Vegas is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about boxing matches in recent memory. Fans can't wait to see if Crawford's unique preparation will pay off against the heavily favored Canelo Alvarez.
