Canelo Alvarez is still the undisputed super middleweight champion.
On Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Alvarez dropped Jaime Munguia en route to a unanimous decision victory (117-110, 116-111 & 115-112).
Munguia had his moments landing some clean combinations, but Alvarez walked through all of them and didn’t show any signs of being affected by the punches.
Alvarez landed a picture-perfect right uppercut that sent Munguia to the canvas in the fourth round. It was the first time Munguia had been dropped in his career.
Munguia didn’t slow his effort after this moment. He made it to his feet and kept trying to put pressure on Alvarez throughout the fight.
While he landed a few noteworthy punches each round, Munguia’s lack of speed left him vulnerable to Alvarez’s power counterpunches, leading to the former being outboxed.
