Canelo Alvarez just successfully defended his undisputed super middleweight title against Jermell Charlo. Proving his doubters wrong, the Mexican boxer overpowered his American opponent. In addition to frequently occupying the center of the ring, Alvarez maintained a tall guard and often tried finding Charlo against the ropes. With Charlo struggling to land significant shots, Alvarez closed in on the distance from time to time and landed heavy punches to the former’s surprise.

Eventually, by finishing strong, consistent Canelo won the fight via UD. After the bout, Alvarez declared he was a “strong fighter all the time“.

Thoroughly Canelo outboxed Charlo. As a result, all three judges scored the bout in the Mexican boxer’s favor. While David Sutherland and Max DeLuca scored the fight 118-109, Steve Weisfeld scored the contest 119-108. Following this memorable win, Canelo revealed that since Charlo moved well inside the ring, he specifically concentrated on the latter’s body. As per his statements, Alvarez worked on his body shots for “three months” without seeing his family. And while one must certainly praise his punches to the body, the straight hand to the face remains the talk of the night.

With Charlo against the ropes, Canelo, who listened to Santa Fe Klan before the fight, closed in on the distance with his tall guard. Anticipating Charlo’s next possible move, he threw a strong straight hand to the former’s chin. In the blink of an eye, the American boxer went down. In the wake of the fight, one fan said that Canelo won the bout easily.

In a similar tone, one said, “Clean sweep Canelo“.

In another’s opinion, it “is what it is“.
