Canelo Alvarez defeats Jermell Charlo through unanimous decision, defends his Super Middleweight World Titles .

Canelo Alvarez rolled to a unanimous decision victory against Jermell Charlo on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena to defend his WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO super middleweight world titles. Alvarez, who knocked Charlo down in the seventh round, won on the judges’ scorecards 119-108, 118-109 and 118-109.

Charlo had jumped up two weight classes from 154 pounds to 168, and while he showed his toughness, he couldn’t match Alvarez’s power. It was hard to take advantage of his superior speed backing up the whole fight.

Alvarez (60-2-2) was loading up big power shots to the body and hooks the whole fight. In the seventh round, he knocked down Charlo with an overhead right and a body shot. It was only the second time that Charlo (35-2-1) had been knocked down his whole career.

Alvarez, 33, never stopped walking down Charlo and didn’t seem to tire late in the fight, as he had done in some of his previous fights. He credited moving his training camp to Lake Tahoe.

“We worked on attacking the body for three months. For three months in the mountains without my family, without everything,” Alvarez said. “Boxing is my life. Boxing made me the person I am today. That’s why I love boxing so much.”

He added: “I’m a strong fighter all the time, against all the fighters. I’m a strong man. Nobody can beat this Canelo.”

Charlo, the junior middleweight champ, said after the bout he wants to fight Terence Crawford next. He was trying to become the fourth fighter to become champion after jumping two weight classes, joining Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Roy Jones Jr. and yes, Alvarez.

He took the fight only after his twin and bigger brother, Jermall, turned down the fight due to mental health issues.

“Truthfully, I could feel the difference in the weight. I jumped up 14 pounds. I am undisputed in my weight division,” Charlo said. “I was daring to be great but you fall short sometimes. You just have to keep on pushing. My road don’t stop right here.”

Alvarez said his next fight will be on Cinco de Mayo. While WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has declared David Benavidez will be Alvarez’s mandatory challenger, Alvarez might entertain the idea of fighting Crawford himself, he said before the fight.

When asked in the ring Saturday who his next opponent would be, Alvarez said, “I don’t f—ing care.”
