After months of anticipation, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford have officially cleared the final hurdle. Both fighters weighed in at 167½ lbs on Friday morning, keeping the contest right on track. The weigh-ins, held at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, were kept low-key and free of drama, with the headliners stepping onto the scale in separate rooms. Later that evening, fans got their moment as the ceremonial weigh-in took place at the T-Mobile Arena in front of a packed crowd.
