🥊 The Gutter Report: Canelo vs Crawford
The Era-Defining Clash for Undisputed Supremacy
Two names. Two legacies. One night. On September 13, 2025, inside Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, the world will witness a fight that feels less like a sporting event and more like a history test. Canelo Álvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs), the undisputed king of super middleweight, puts all his belts on the line against Terence “Bud” Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs), the undefeated technician daring to jump two weight classes to snatch the crown.
Streaming note: For the first time at this scale, the mega-fight streams live on Netflix—no PPV, no blackout zones.
