Terence Crawford outpointed Canelo Alvarez over twelve, winning a unanimous decision by scores of 116–112, 115–113 and 115–113. Crawford boxed on the move, picked his moments, and banked frames with clean single counters and quick exits, while Canelo struggled to pin him down for prolonged spells. It wasn’t a firefight—more a chess match—but Crawford’s timing and discipline carried the night and added another historic line to his résumé.
Callum Walsh beat Fernando Vargas Jr. by unanimous decision, 100–90, 99–91 and 99–91.
