Saúl 'Canelo' Alvarez Admits Costly 'Mistakes' in Terence Crawford Loss

Saúl 'Canelo' Alvarez has opened up about his unanimous-decision loss to Terence Crawford last September, attributing the defeat to poor mental focus during fight week rather than his training or underestimating his opponent. Speaking with Ariel Helwani, Alvarez admitted he regrets not securing a rematch clause and was caught off guard by Crawford's retirement shortly after the upset. Having recovered from elbow surgery and addressed personal family matters, Alvarez says he has learned from the experience and is now focused on his upcoming fight against undefeated WBC champion Christian Mbilli.
