They said he couldn’t do it until he did it — again.
Terence Crawford proved that size didn’t matter, putting together a master class to defeat Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision and become the undisputed super middleweight champion Saturday night at Allegiant Stadium. The judges scored it 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113.
With the win, Crawford (42-0, 31 KOs) became the first male boxer in the four-belt era to be undisputed champ in three weight classes. And he did it with style in front of an announced crowd of 70,482 — most of whom were Alvarez fans — and millions more who streamed the fight live on Netflix.
After capturing world titles in four weight classes — including achieving undisputed status at junior welterweight and welterweight — Crawford, who turns 38 in two weeks, made the audacious jump from 154 pounds to 168 pounds to dethrone boxing’s biggest star.
