Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo squared off in the main event live on Showtime PPV from T-Mobile Arena on Saturday, September 30. The contest featured Mexico’s undisputed super middleweight champion up against the super welterweight champion of the United States.
The scheduled for 12 rounds world championship bout went the full distance. Canelo came out on top by decision, sending Charlo to the canvas in the seventh round with a big right hand along the way. The scores were 118-109, 118-109 and 119-108.
With the victory by unanimous decision, Canelo Alvarez improved to 60-2-2, 39 KOs. The 33-year-old boxing superstar of Guadalajara, Jalisco made the third successful defense of his WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO 168-pound titles.
“I’m a strong fighter all the time, against all the fighters,” said Canelo. “I’m a strong man. Nobody can beat this Canelo.”
“We worked on attacking the body. We know he’s a great fighter. He knows how to move in the ring. We worked on attacking the body for three months. For three months in the mountains without my family, without everything.”
“I still love boxing. I love boxing so much. Boxing is my life. Boxing made me the person I am today. That’s why I love boxing so much. And I love boxing so much because of my fans, too…Cinco de Mayo I’ll face whoever. I don’t care.”
Jermell Charlo dropped to 35-2-1, 19 KOs. Houston’s 33-year-old moved up two weight classes and looked to become a two-division undisputed king.
“I just felt like I wasn’t me in there,” said Charlo. “I don’t make excuses for myself, so it is what it is. I take my punches and roll with it. It’s boxing. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.”
“Truthfully, I could feel the difference in the weight. I picked up 14 pounds. I am undisputed in my weight division. You fall short sometimes, but you just have to keep on pushing. My roll don’t stop right here. I’m proud of myself. He hit me with some hard shots. I thought I got mine off. I’m the little Charlo and I represent that.”
The historic event saw the first of its kind fight that pitted two male undisputed champions against each other.
In Australia, the event aired on Sunday, October 1 live on Kayo.
