Terence Crawford says he’s got a 70% chance of smashing Canelo Alvarez on September 13, and no, that’s not a typo. “We’re never 100%,” Crawford told Piers Morgan with the energy of a man who’s already visualized the W.
Piers, baffled that someone didn’t fake being invincible, blurted out:
“Really? Just two-thirds?”
Crawford didn’t even flinch.
“Of course.”
This wasn’t false modesty. This was Crawford letting the world know he doesn’t need to bark to bite.
Then came Canelo, grinning like a guy who’s already picked out the post-fight tequila.
“I guess I have that 30%, right?”
And with one sentence, he ended the conversation:
“I only need 1%… I’m gonna win.”
Not a debate. Not a prediction. Just facts, in Canelo’s head anyway.
Piers is lucky to be alive
Now, here’s where the interview goes from serious to should this be investigated? Piers, somehow still breathing after surviving Twitter for a decade, decided it was a good idea to ask two elite killers in gloves the following:
“Could either of you actually kill me with one punch?”
First of all—why, Piers?
Second—what kind of life insurance policy are you trying to activate live on air?
Crawford didn’t hesitate. He looked at Piers like a man assessing a light jog, then asked:
“How old are you?”
Piers: “Sixty.”
Crawford: “You’re going to sleep.”
Said with all the warmth of a hitman checking his calendar.
Canelo? Just smirked. Didn’t say a word. Didn’t need to. That was the face of a man who’s imagined this exact scenario, probably in slow motion.
We can now confirm that if either man sneezes in Piers’s direction, he’s doing a 12-hour nap in A&E. Morgan practically dared two apex predators to show him the light, and somehow survived the segment without needing a defibrillator.
If Piers Morgan really wants to upgrade from annoying to unconscious in the next segment, begging to get his teeth punched so far down his throat he’ll need a colonoscopy to floss, here’s a tailor-made list of next-segment weird questions Piers can ask:
“If both of you hit me with your best shot at the same time, who gets credit for rearranging my face into modern art?”
“Canelo, if I said the GGG trilogy was clearly 3-0… for GGG, would you punch me in the face or the soul?”
“Canelo, honest question: if I interrupted your post-fight interview to ask about GGG again, would you knock out my teeth or the English language from my brain first?”
“Terence, how many punches would it take before I stop identifying as a functioning vertebrate?”
“If we did one round, and I tried a Philly Shell just once, how deep would you bury my molars—chest cavity, or somewhere south of that?”
“Canelo, if I wore a ‘Benavidez would sleep you’ T-shirt into your dressing room, do you shatter my jaw with a left hook, or gently guide me headfirst into a wall?”
“Let’s say I shouted ‘run it back with GGG’ at the weigh-in—do you knock me out in the ring, the parking lot, or mid-sentence before I even finish ‘Triple’?”
“So, before we get to the serious stuff… did you two enjoy your cute little steak dinner with Turki? Candlelight? Shared sides? Who ordered the clenbuterol special?”
“So just to be clear… dinner with Turki is fine, but me asking if GGG beat you both on the same night is too far?”
Canelo’s left hook warms up. Crawford checks if Piers signed the waiver.
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson? “Sad. Embarrassing. Please make it stop.”
Eventually the circus came up. Yes, that one—Tyson vs Jake Paul.
Canelo looked like someone had just shown him a video of his dog being slapped.
“I hate that. Seeing him doing that kind of stuff… it’s sad.”
Crawford backed it up with a verbal left hook:
“That guy Jake Paul… he’ll get to walk around saying, ‘I beat Iron Mike Tyson’? That’s heartbreaking.”
This wasn’t two guys commenting from the sidelines. This was two professionals watching their sport get hijacked by TikTok with gloves on.
Clenbuterol steaks and “who cares?”
Because it’s Piers, we had to revisit Canelo’s 2018 drug fail—the one blamed on tainted Mexican beef, because apparently cows in Guadalajara are jacked on cycle.
Canelo didn’t even pretend to spin it:
“I don’t really care.”
And really, why should he? He served his slap on the wrist, blamed the meat, and walked out with another payday.
Crawford, ever the adult in the room, played it straighter:
“It’s a sad case that that happened. But in our fight, I just hope none of that comes up.”
In boxing terms, that’s a polite way of saying: “Try anything funny and I’ll expose it before the first bell.”
