Saul Alvarez vs Terence Crawford: Predictions Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 14, 2025

On September 14, a significant boxing match will take place as Saul Alvarez battles Terence Crawford. Here’s a rundown of this anticipated event.

Saul Alvarez

Canelo Alvarez has built a prominent career with 63 wins in 67 fights, facing only two losses and two draws. His defeats were to Floyd Mayweather and Dmitry Bivol when he moved up in weight classes.

Alvarez has been dominant in the middleweight division, holding all super middleweight titles and being the undisputed champion. At 35, he has extensive experience, impressive power, and strong confidence. His last knockout was in 2021 against Caleb Plant. In May, he won a unanimous decision against William Scull, claiming the IBF belt and solidifying his status as the undisputed super middleweight champion.

Terence Crawford

Terence Crawford is well-known in the boxing community for his straightforward approach. He has fought 41 times, winning 31 by knockout. Already a two-time undisputed champion, he aims for a third title. Crawford will turn 38 in two weeks, making him three years older than Alvarez. Rumors suggest he might retire after this fight.

A challenge for Crawford will be contending with Alvarez’s size. In his last fight, he won a close decision against Uzbekistan’s Israil Madrimov in the light middleweight category. Now, he’s stepping up to face a top competitor. Crawford appears confident but will need to perform at his best to secure a win.

Prediction

Canelo is slightly favored, as he’s fighting at his usual weight while Crawford is moving up. I see Crawford as technically skilled, but he will face a considerable power deficit. For Alvarez, the stakes are high—not just his titles but his reputation as well, especially against an opponent jumping two weight classes. This matchup could go the distance, and if it does, I would lean toward Crawford for the win.
