Terence Crawford and Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez will face off in a boxing match on September 13, 2023. The fight has got fans talking, and former heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs thinks Crawford will win big.
Briggs has known Crawford for a long time and believes he'll knock out Canelo. He told reporters:
"Crawford all day! Crawford all day. He might stop him...I'm rarely wrong. He's gonna stop him, knock out!"
Briggs thinks Crawford's skills will be too much for Canelo. He points out that Crawford can box well, switch stances, and trick his opponents. He also says Crawford stays strong late in fights, which could be a problem for Canelo.
Crawford's record stands at 41 wins and no losses, with 31 knockouts. He'll move up two weight classes to fight Canelo at super-middleweight (168 lb). It's a big jump, but Crawford wants to make history. He aims to be the first male boxer in the four-belt era to be undisputed champion in three divisions.
Canelo won't be easy to beat. He's the current undisputed super-middleweight champion with a record of 63 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws. He holds all the major titles in the division.
If Crawford wins, especially by knockout in the later rounds, it could change boxing history. It's a tough challenge, moving up two weight classes, but Briggs thinks Crawford's skills and smarts in the ring will get him the win.
The fight is set for September 13, and boxing fans can't wait to see if Briggs' prediction comes true.
