There is no doubt who the crowd are supporting this weekend. The Mexican flags were out in full force and the Canelo chants were deafening.
But, that didn’t stop Crawford from soaking up the atmosphere. He seemed to enjoy riling up his opponent’s fan base – blowing kisses to the crowd with a smirk on his face.

Analysts have spent weeks debating how the two styles will clash. Canelo’s aggressive, body-attacking style and championship experience are likely to test Crawford’s defensive skills, while Crawford’s speed, range, and counterpunching ability could frustrate Álvarez and potentially dictate the pace of the fight.
Both fighters have a history of adjusting mid-fight, suggesting Saturday’s contest could be as much a battle of wits as of raw power.
The weigh-in also offered a glimpse at the fighters’ preparation leading up to the fight.
Canelo appeared in peak condition, lean and powerful, reflecting his disciplined training camp and experience cutting weight safely. Crawford looked equally sharp, with a focused demeanour that underscored his strategic approach to the matchup.
With both men officially making weight, all eyes now turn to the ring.
This is more than just a fight. It is a collision of two of boxing’s elite, a moment that could define the careers of both fighters and leave a lasting mark on the sport.
Saturday night promises to deliver high drama, explosive action, and potentially a new chapter in boxing history.
