Crawford blew a kiss to Canelo’s pro-Mexican fans
But at their weigh in – only 24 hours before the Mexican shootout – Crawford appeared motivated by the hostility.
The pair of modern greats hit the scales at 167.5lb for the undisputed super-middleweight title fight.
Canelo – defending his WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO belts – looked trim as he bids to retain his 12st throne.
“I trained for everything, I need to put everything into this fight” Canelo said.
Meanwhile Crawford – stepping up TWO divisions – looked bulkier than ever at his career-highest weight.
“I feel wonderful, I can’t wait for tomorrow,” Crawford said with a grin before delivering the blown kisses.
Crawford started his career at the 135lb lightweight division – before winning world titles in FOUR divisions up to super-welterweight at 154lb.
He is a four-belt champion at two of those weights – 140lb and 147lb – but is out to make history as a three-division undisputed champ.
Canelo vs Crawford – All the info
IT’S finally time – one of the biggest boxing matches EVER takes place THIS WEEKEND.
Two of boxing’s GOATs will meet in the ring as they fight for pound-for-pound supremacy and the super-middleweight crown.
Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Terence Crawford have been fixtures in the top of the rankings for years and are considered among the best to ever do it.
Unbeaten Crawford, who beat Israil Madrimov to win the light-middleweight title last time out, hasn’t fought for a year.
He is jumping up two weight divisions to meet Canelo, having spent most of his career weighing in even lighter.
Mexican favourite Canelo has scored title defences over Edgar Berlanga and William Scull since Crawford was last inside a ring.
