In a thrilling encounter at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Terence Crawford emerged victorious against Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, securing a unanimous decision to become the undisputed super middleweight champion. The judges scored the bout 116-112 and 115-113 (twice) in favor of Crawford, marking a significant achievement in his boxing career, as he became the first male fighter to win undisputed titles in three different weight classes—super lightweight, welterweight, and now super middleweight, according to Reuters, Al Jazeera, India Times, and Dawn.

Crawford's performance was a masterclass in boxing technique, showcasing his exceptional hand speed and footwork that kept Alvarez on the defensive throughout the match. The victory improved Crawford's professional record to 42 wins without a loss, highlighting his tactical prowess against the powerful Alvarez. "My other undisputed runs I had titles... But this one I was coming in as an underdog," Crawford noted, adding depth to the significance of his win, according to Reuters and Al Jazeera.

Despite facing the challenge of stepping up two weight classes, Crawford effectively neutralized Alvarez's offensive strategies, demonstrating agility that frustrated the Mexican champion. Alvarez, who landed a few early body shots, could not capitalize on his strength, which ultimately left him unable to secure a knockout. Following the defeat, Alvarez praised Crawford’s boxing skills, saying, "I think Crawford is way better than Floyd Mayweather," solidifying Crawford's standing in the sport, as noted by India Times and Dawn.

The bout attracted a record attendance of over 70,000 fans, breaking previous records for a boxing event in Las Vegas. The match's innovative broadcasting approach through Netflix rather than traditional pay-per-view also garnered widespread attention, promising a new direction for high-profile boxing events, as reported by Al Jazeera and Dawn.
