Canelo Alvarez: “I just feel grateful to [my fans] because they have supported me since day one. I just want to let them enjoy another victory for Mexico. It’s big. If I’m not wrong it’s the biggest fight in boxing now because of everything. It’s Netflix. It’s Mexico versus an American. It’s a very huge fight and I like to be involved in huge fights. I’m glad to be here and I’m ready.”
Terence Crawford: “I haven’t never been down yet in my professional career, so they can question it all they want,” he added. Have I been hurt? Yes, I have. Has he been hurt? Yes, he has, you know, it is what it is. Let’s just figure it out on the night. First and foremost, I’m definitely going to win. I’m winning the fight for sure. But at the same time, I don’t think losing tarnishes either of our legacies. He’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer and I think I’m a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Win, lose or draw, I think that’s the ultimate goal at the end of the day. To be named with all the great fighters who came before us and be inducted into the Hall of Fame for all we’ve done in the sport of boxing.”
