Both Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford made weight for their super middleweight title fight on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Alvarez and Crawford both checked in at 167.5 pounds Friday.

For Crawford, that marks a career-high weight as he is moving up two weight classes from 154 to 168 pounds to challenge Alvarez for his world championship.

For the 37-year-old Crawford, the match will be a career-defining moment. The Omaha, Neb., native is as accomplished as any fighter in the sport's recent history, but he's earned only a fraction of the mainstream recognition that past fighters of his stature have received.

Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) is the undisputed super middleweight champ, most recently winning the IBF title away from William Scull on May 3 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Crawford (41-0-0, 31 KOs), already the undisputed champion in the light welterweight and welterweight divisions, is trying to become the first man to become an undisputed champion in three different weight classes.
