Terence Crawford has silenced the critics ahead of his fight against Canelo Alvarez, showing off his ripped to shreds physique on the scales.
In less than 24 hours, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will clash in one of the biggest boxing fights of the decade when they fight for the undisputed super middleweight title at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Heading into the fight, Crawford has found himself as a sizable underdog because of the fact that he is moving up several weight classes to take on the Mexican champion.
Despite that, ahead of the fight, Crawford has received support from former champions of the sport, and even Mike Tyson performed a last-minute U-turn with his pick, backing ‘Bud’ to pull off the upset.
Crawford shows off ripped physique during weigh-ins as he silences critics
Not long out from the fight, the American began receiving a lot of criticism from the fanbase that he was severely out of shape after UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria shared an image of them together online.
Things went from bad to worse for Crawford when rumors began to spread that he suffered a debilitating shoulder injury during his camp.
However, the 37-year-old silenced doubters this Friday when he stepped on the scale for his official weigh-in, coming in at his career high of 167.5lbs, showing off his ripped to shreds look.
Not long after, the Mexican champion also stepped on the scale, matching Crawford’s weight and making the fight official.
Fans react to Crawford’s ripped to shreds physique at the weigh-ins
“What the f—, he got abs at 167lbs?” One fan reacted.
“Crawford usually trains in camp at 175lbs, then cuts weight. This fight, he’s not really had to cut weight,” another fan speculated.
Prior to this, the highest that Crawford has weighed is 153.4lbs when he fought Israil Madrimov for the super welterweight titles.
“Damn, he’s shredded. (Jermell) Charlo looked chubby, Crawford looks in shape,” a third fan said.
“Moved up two weight classes and is still shredded. He’s going to shock the world,” another fan predicted.
