Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo weigh-in: Start time and how to watch

Both fighters hit the 168 lb (76.2 kg) limit at the final weigh-in, reinforcing Canelo Alvarez as the favorite given his comfort at the weight and title-holding pedigree. Punters may back Canelo on the moneyline while considering higher-value bets on Terence Crawford for an upset or on round-specific props if you believe Crawford’s power can offset the size step-up.

Canelo vs Crawford Weigh-In: Scale Results and Stakes

The much-anticipated clash between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford brings multiple world titles into the ring. Canelo will put his WBC, WBO, WBA and IBF belts on the line as Crawford attempts to claim those valuable prizes. The encounter marks the first time these two elite fighters will meet inside the ropes.

Weight Limit and Final Numbers

The contracted weight for the fight was 168 pounds (76.2 kg). Canelo is comfortable at that limit, while Crawford moves up from around 154 pounds — a significant jump that tests his size and strength at the higher division. At the official final weigh-in both fighters came in at exactly the same weight, setting up an evenly matched-looking opening on paper.

Why the Weight Matters

Canelo’s experience at 168 lb and his history holding multiple belts make him the natural favorite. Crawford’s ascent from a lower division introduces questions about how the extra mass and power differential will play out over the scheduled rounds. Conditioning, punch resistance and tactical adjustments will be decisive.

Records, Momentum and Betting Implications

This historic first meeting pits Canelo (record listed here as 63-2-2) against an unbeaten Terence Crawford (with 31 KOs cited). The statistics and the division jump favor Canelo in most market lines, but Crawford’s unbeaten resume means value can be found backing the challenger in upset scenarios or targeting specific-round and method-of-victory props. For bettors: expect Canelo to be the safer moneyline choice and Crawford to offer higher returns for riskier, higher-reward wagers.

What to Watch When the Bell Rings

Key factors to monitor are Crawford’s ability to handle Canelo’s size and power, Canelo’s ring IQ and movement against a southpaw (if applicable), and how each man manages stamina across the championship rounds. Those dynamics will determine whether the fight stays tactical and technical or shifts into power exchanges that can end the night early.
