You know, guys, there's nothing better, honestly, than a big fight getting announced. And whether it's in the UFC or in boxing, it gets you excited because, you know, it brings you back to those memories of when you were a kid and you got excited for the big boxing fight or as you the new generation, the big mix martial arts fight. Today we are going to talk about the big fight that was announced last night between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, which is going to be bananas. But there's also a extra bit to it that we will get into during today's episode, which is brought to you by Total Wireless, the official wireless provider of UFC. They're in your corner with unlimited 5G data that will not slow you down. So last night, Canelo Alvarez fights. And at times when a guy is as dominant as Canelo, his dance partner will not engage or will not fight at the level that you expect a championship level boxer to fight at. Because of the fear, the worry of what may happen, nobody wants to become a highlight. Last night, Canelo Alvarez had a fight that was essentially the case. The guy kind of ran the whole time. And Canelo, while winning, it wasn't the performance that makes you go, oh my God, I love this guy. Right? This is why we tune into Canelo. You know, Canelo is box office. We know Canelo's money. But when you don't have a dance partner, it's hard to make those memories. The memory coming out of that fight last night was that at the end of it, Sheik Turkey, Riyadh season and Terence Crawford walks into the ring. We get it. It's official. Canelo Alvarez will now fight Terrence Crawford September 12th Allegiance Stadium. He'll defend his Ring Magazine championship against Bud. Giving Bud an opportunity to become a three time world champion. Three divisions, super world champion, Mr. Everything. Clearly they are not the same size. Terence Crawford used to be a small guy. Now he's grown into what will be about a 154 pounder. I'd imagine they'd fight around 154, 160. Luis, I would love if you can give me what weight classes me contested at. TV deal and the TV rights will be announced a little later. But I'm not the guy that wants to throw cold water on it. But let's call it a spade. Exactly what it is, a spade in boxing. And this is where the UFC differs and this is why Zufa boxing could potentially, if they change the game, move us back into a day where guys were fighting each other in their primes. When Roy Jones and Mike Tyson fought over the hill. But that was still the 10th biggest pay per view of all time. They sold 1.6 million pay per view buys. When Lennox Lewis fought Mike Tyson, Mike Tyson was over the Hill. Top 5 pay per view of all time, 1.9 million pay per view buys. Floyd was smart, fought Canelo very early, sold 2 million buys. Floyd was smart, fought Conor because he was big. Sold 4.3 million buys. And then Floyd fought Manny and they sold 4.6 million buys. That was the biggest pay per view of all time in boxing. With that being said, Floyd Manning started to circle each other a very long time ago. They fought when Floyd was 38, Manning was 36. Many people thought we were three to four years past when they should have fought. By the time Terence Crawford and Canelo fight, bud will be 36. Canelo will be 34 years old. Now, I'm not saying those guys are done by no means. They're two. They're still the two best boxers in the world. But imagine if we got those guys in their late 20s, right, or three to four years ago. It is still going to be a monster. I don't imagine it's going to be anything less than super successful. But should it have happened a couple years ago, here's where I believe we are going to be saved in this regard. They're just as good as they've always been. Crawford is 41 and 0, 31 kills going up to 154. Gonna fight Canelo at 154. He's won World titles at lightweight, super lightweight, welterweight and super welterweight. So he's been a champion everywhere. But Bud's gonna make Canelo fight at 54? I don't know that Canelo's been fighting at 54 for a while. Remember all those B ball fights were up at like 175 for Canelo Alvarez. They're two of the best boxers in the world. They're not. Oh sorry, they're going to fight at 168. Yes. Canelo's been fighting up at like 175. Crawford going up from 154 to fight him at 168.

These are phenomenal fighters. They're both still in their prime. Most UFC champions aren't even under 30. I don't know that we have one under 30 male champion right now. So they're in their athletic prime, right? 30 to 35. But a couple years ago it might have had a little more steam because they didn't have that performance like Canelo had last night. With that being said, Dana White's going to promote this thing, and because Dana White is going to promote this thing, I feel like it'll bring a different level of interest into the UFC. Ilia temporary is 27. I'm oh, he's not a champion, though. Ilya to Poirier was 27 at featherweight. He was the champ. He's not the champ anymore since he vacated that belt. It's, it's no champions under 30 years old, so they're still in their athletic prime. I wish I got to see it a couple years ago when Canelo was a little smaller. I thought Canelo has gotten he's not as good as he was when he was fighting at 154, 160 because he's a little bigger, carrying more muscle. But I think it's going to be a blockbuster event, going to be one of the biggest pay per views we've ever seen, going to be highly competitive. And I do believe that that added element that Dana is going to be promoting, that Riyadh season is going to be promoting, is going to make more people tap in to what's going on in this big fight. They're going to sell out of Legion Stadium. I'm going to be there, front row. I'm not missing this. Terence Crawford is a great guy. His sons are tremendous wrestlers, boxers. They do everything. I know Terrence from the Wrestling. I know how motivated he is to fight this fight. I know that Canelo Alvarez is as good as anyone we've seen in a long time. True legend of boxing. It's a massive fight. I hope that it can deliver what and match or exceed the expectation. You know, growing up, they always put the two best guys together when it felt like they were supposed to be together. It still feels like we haven't missed the window for these two. And I feel like this is going to be a big fight, a good fight, a fun fight, and a true competition between the best boxers of the entire World. So. September 12, Allegiance Stadium, Las Vegas. Promoted by Dana White. Promoted by TKO Promoted by Riyadh Season Tap into Canelo Alvarez defending his Ring Magazine championship against the great Terence Crawford. You know, I love when things come together. This is finally coming together. I believe it's going to be fun. That's a fight that was just made last night. But a fight that's actually Happening is UFC 315 this weekend in Montreal as Bilal Muhammad takes on Jack della madalena. So UFC 315 goes down this weekend. So this is going to be my performance playbook, brought to you by Rose Sparks. So, guys, Bilal Muhammad versus Jack Della Madeleina is a massive fight. There are two things that have to happen for these guys. One for Bilal, one for one for Jack Della Maddalena. If Bilal Muhammad is going to be successful in his first title defense, he has to look and fight in the same way that he fought Leon Edwards. He's got to have a lot of pressure. He's got to secure takedowns, and he's got to keep Jack guessing. Because if Jack Della Maddalena is able to just stand and strike with him, Bilal is going to be out of his element. But when he mixes everything together, the wrestling, the takedowns, the striking, he can fight anyone, and he really can overwhelm you. That is why he knocked out Shawn Brady, and that is why he truly outclassed Leon Rocky Edwards. So Bilal Muhammad has to be that full mixed martial artist, and the pressure has got to be. It's got to be very present from the start of the fight. He's got to mix in the takedowns and use those takedowns to keep Jack Dela off base. And for Della Madeleina, he's got to defend takedowns. And here's the deal. There was a fight that Jack Della fought in the apex against a kid, and I don't know his name, Luis Jack Della Madeleina fought this kid a while back. The kid was taking him down. Almost beat him on short notice. Takedowns, I can't. What's that guy's name? Let me look it up. This is going to drive me crazy. It can't look like that. The fight cannot look like that for Jack Della Maddalena. It's against. Hold on, guys. You guys want to. You guys want to come? You guys want to. It was not Angelosa. Luis. Luis. Just out here guessing, bro. Like, come on now. You can't. That's why I'm googling it, because I can't guess Basil Hafez. It was Basil Al Faz in the apex and he was losing. Had to have a very good third round to win that fight because Hafez successfully took him down over and over again. That can't happen. If that starts to happen against a fighter at the level of Bilal Muhammad, he's not getting the job done. He has got to stay upright. He's got to move on the outside, and he's got to pick at Bilal Muhammad. He can't get excited. Excitement in this fight for Della Maddalena will lead to problems. He's got to make sure he fights at his pace, his range and really control the tempo of this fight. This is a massive fight. This is an absolute massive fight at 170 pounds. And honestly, I'm very excited that we finally get to see Bilal Muhammad defend that championship. But in terms of my performance playbook, it's takedowns, pace and pressure. For Bilal Muhammad, it is defend takedowns, control the range, control the distance and poke and prod at Bilal Muhammad. If you're Jack Della Maddalena. Guys, I know that Bilal and Jack Della are going to perform inside the Octagon. But if you want to perform at a championship level, man, holl at my people at Rose Sparks because Rose Sparks is the best when it comes to the performance and they are the best in the business. So that's my performance playbook. For Jack Della Maddalena to become champ and for Bilal Muhammad to retain. Presented to you by Rose Sparks. Guys, I'm on my way to Canada right now. I cannot wait to get to Montreal. The fight fans there are insane. It's going to be a great weekend. So until next time, like subscribe and tell your friends that D's got a YouTube channel. Get ready for Canelo versus Crawford. Get ready for Jack Della versus Bilal Muhammad. Get ready for Manof your versus Valentina Shevchenko. It's going to be sick this weekend and it's going to be sick in Allegiance Stadium come September 12th. Until next time, Peace.

Okay, have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. The fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back and Degree listened and that doesn't happen often. They admitted they effed up out of bringing the original Cool Rush scent back, and it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason why it's the number one men's antiperspirant and it's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart, Target and try the OG Cool Rush for yourself.

Podcast Title: The Herd with Colin Cowherd
Host/Author: iHeartPodcasts and The Volume
Episode: Daniel Cormier REACTS to Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford SUPER FIGHT + UFC 315 Breakdown
Release Date: May 6, 2025
In this episode of The Herd with Colin Cowherd, host Colin Cowherd delves into two major sports events that have captivated fans worldwide: the highly anticipated boxing match between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, and the upcoming UFC 315 event in Montreal. Daniel Cormier joins the discussion, providing expert analysis and insights into both boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA).
At [03:38], Daniel Cormier expresses his excitement about the announcement of the Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight, scheduled for September 12 at Allegiance Stadium in Las Vegas. He compares this bout to historic boxing pay-per-view events, highlighting its potential to be one of the biggest in the sport's history.
Daniel Cormier: "Canelo Alvarez will now fight Terence Crawford on September 12th at Allegiance Stadium. It’s going to be a blockbuster event, one of the biggest pay-per-views we've ever seen." [03:38]
Cormier provides an in-depth analysis of both fighters:
Canelo Alvarez (34 years old): Cormier acknowledges Canelo's dominance in the ring but critiques his recent performance, suggesting that his opponent often lacks the will to engage fully, diminishing the excitement of his bouts.
Daniel Cormier: "Canelo is a box office, we know Canelo's money. But when you don't have a dance partner, it's hard to make those memories." [03:38]
Terence Crawford (41 years old): Crawford's evolution into a higher weight class and his undefeated record are highlighted. Cormier discusses the strategic implications of Crawford moving up to fight Canelo, noting both fighters' adaptability and skill sets.
Daniel Cormier: "Terence Crawford has been a champion everywhere. He's been winning world titles at lightweight, super lightweight, welterweight, and super welterweight." [03:38]
Cormier draws parallels between the upcoming fight and legendary matchups, emphasizing the importance of timing and fighter conditions in maximizing pay-per-view sales. He cites examples like Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao to illustrate how prime performances can elevate a fight's status.
Daniel Cormier: "Floyd fought Manny, and they sold 4.6 million buys. That was the biggest pay-per-view of all time in boxing." [03:38]
Cormier speculates that if the Canelo vs. Crawford fight had occurred a few years earlier, it might have achieved even greater success, underscoring the fighters' current readiness and the event's potential legacy.
Daniel Cormier: "They fought when Floyd was 38, Manny was 36. By the time Crawford and Canelo fight, Canelo will be 34, Crawford 41. It's going to be a monster." [03:38]
