The world of boxing was rocked last night in Las Vegas when Terence Crawford defeated Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez in points ((116-112, 115-113 y 115-113) and became the first male fighter in the four-belt era hold the undisputed championship in three divisions, now holding the WBA (Super), WBC, WBO, and IBF super-middleweight titles, after being undisputed world champion in light-welterweight and welterweight.
Crawford, aged 37, extends a professional record of 42 wins, 31 by KO, and no defeats, while Canelo Álvaraz, 35, adds a third defeat in his extensive career of 68 fights, 63 victories, 39 KOs and two draws.
Boxing experts are describing this fight as "historic", with a potentially unprecedented global viewership thanks to Netflix. Álvaraz, who was seen as "the face of boxing", said that his legacy is "already there and I like taking risks because I love boxing." Meanwhile, Crawford says that he is "the face of boxing now, the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, like I've always been."
