Canelo Alvarez

SAUL “CANELO” ALVAREZ successfully retained his undisputed super middleweight championship in Las Vegas on Saturday, defeating fellow Mexican Jaime Munguia by unanimous decision.

Munguia looked dangerous heading into the fight, boasting an undefeated record of 43-0, including 34 knockouts.

Meanwhile, Alvarez had won his three previous fights by decision but was searching for his first knockout win since having surgery on his left hand in 2022.
