SEATTLE - In the first-ever super middleweight title fight featuring two Mexican fighters, Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez was the one that came out on top, defeating Jaime Munguía by unanimous decision to preserve his undisputed title. Before today, there had never been a world title fight featuring two Mexican-born fighters above the 160-pound division.
Munguía started the fight with tremendous energy, winning two of the first three rounds. It took Canelo four rounds to assert his gameplan, knocking down Munguía with 30 seconds left in the fourth. It was the third fight in a row in which Canelo scored a knockdown after he dropped Jermell Charlo and John Ryder in his previous two fights.
