Crawford presently competes in a division where the maximum weight is 168 pounds, despite his official height of 5′ 8″. Because of this, a large number of the division’s fighters are shorter than six feet. Reese, who is six feet three, participates in a sport that emphasizes height, which accounts for the discrepancy.
Crawford, the 37-year-old four-division champion, came into Saturday’s bout hoping to improve on his 41-0 record. However, he faced a difficult opponent in Alvarez, 35, who hadn’t lost a fight since May 2022, when he was defeated by Dmitry Bivol via unanimous decision.
In the meantime, Reese has some free time at the moment because the Sky’s season ended with a dismal 10-34 record. The 23-year-old Reese was able to temporarily put her recent problems with her team aside on Saturday night in order to watch some boxing action.
