Canelo Alvarez won his bout against Jermell Charlo via unanimous decision after a 12-round brawl. Subsequently, the clash featured the undisputed light middleweight champion and the undisputed super middleweight champion going head-to-head. Alvarez put a ton of pressure on Charlo and dominated him for the majority of the bout.

Across the fight, Charlo attempted to move around and hit Canelo Alvarez with hard shots to keep him at bay. However, this strategy did not work against the Mexican boxer, who even managed to knock him down in the seventh round. After the fight, Alvarez was asked who his next opponent might be, with the possibility of it being David Benavidez. Subsequently, Alvarez stated, “I don’t know. I don’t f—ing care.”

Before the fight, Alvarez stated that he was highly motivated to win this fight because of Charlo’s trash talk.

In a post-fight interview, Alvarez stated that his goal was to KO Charlo or to fight 12 rounds and prove who was the better boxer.

Charlo is an expert technician inside the ring, and he avoided several punches to the head. Furthermore, he was able to land several blows on Canelo Alvarez, but Charlo wasn’t able to dominate the fight the way Alvarez did.
