The past several years in boxing has been defined more by events than true boxing matches, as we’ve seen the likes of Floyd Mayweather vs. Connor McGregor and Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul. However, this Saturday will see a fight that true fans of the sport can get enamored with, and it’s arguably the biggest boxing match in a decade as Canelo Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) will face Terence “Bud” Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs).

Canelo vs. Crawford is billed as “Once In A Lifetime” considering the stature of the competitors, and with them both being in their primes. Alvarez is in his second reign as the undisputed middleweight champion, an honor he achieved in his last fight, which was a unanimous decision over William Scull in May. He holds the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF titles, which will all be on the line come Saturday.
