Crawford Conquers Canelo to Claim Undisputed Super Middleweight Glory
Terence Crawford defeated Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision on September 13, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Scores of 116–112, 115–113 and 115–113 awarded Crawford the undisputed super middleweight championship after twelve rounds.
The decisive action
The contest required Crawford to carry his skills into the 168-pound division against its established champion. Alvarez brought experience at the weight and a long history of major championship fights, making the challenge about both size and technical adaptability.
Crawford used movement, timing and changes in his attacks to prevent Alvarez from dictating the exchanges. The Mexican champion continued trying to apply pressure, but Crawford produced enough effective work across the rounds to earn every judge’s overall preference.
What the result means
The scorecards were competitive without being split over the winner. Two officials separated the fighters by two points, while the third gave Crawford a wider advantage. None returned a draw or selected Alvarez after the full scheduled distance.
The victory added another undisputed championship achievement to Crawford’s career and ended Alvarez’s possession of the super middleweight belts. Their meeting was settled through twelve rounds of boxing rather than a stoppage, giving Crawford a result supported across all three official cards. The size question that shaped the build-up received its answer in the completed contest: Crawford’s technical execution remained effective enough to overcome the defending champion on one of boxing’s largest stages.
