Canelo Alvarez isn’t crying robbery or making excuses about Saturday’s loss to Terence “Bud” Crawford.
“I feel very proud of everything I’ve achieved so far,” Canelo posted on social media. “We always want to win, but I accept this defeat with humility and learning.
“I am very grateful to my team for all the sacrifices we’ve made together over all these years. I already won because I have my family with me and millions of fans who have never stopped supporting me.”
Canelo (63-3-2, 39 KO) was beaten
by decision, as Crawford (42-0, 31 KO) became the new undisputed super middleweight world champion, his third time as an undisputed champion of a division and the fifth weight class in which he’s won a world title.
Canelo, 35, was reportedly paid $150 million for the fight with Crawford, and could be considering retirement, but there will definitely be money fights available for him if he doesn’t, and probably will be for several more years.
