Canelo vs Munguia LIVE: Latest fight updates, results and score

Re-live the action as Canelo Alvarez fought Jaime Munguia in an all-Mexican, undisputed title fight

Canelo vs Munguia trailer

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez retained the undisputed super-middleweight titles on Saturday, dropping and outpointing Jaime Munguia in Las Vegas.

The Mexicans clashed on Cinco de Mayo weekend, with Alvarez, 33, refusing to pass the torch to the younger challenger, 27. Instead, Canelo sealed a unanimous-decision win (117-110, 116-111, 115-112), having troubled Munguia throughout the bout and having dropped the previously unbeaten fighter in round four.

It was a perfect right uppercut that put down Munguia, who had never before hit the canvas, and Canelo pulled ahead from there, after Munguia’s admittedly bright start.

With the result, Canelo moved a step closer to a potential, highly-demanded fight with David Benavidez – though Alvarez played coy on Saturday, when asked about that contest.

Canelo is asked about a fight with David Benavidez: “I don’t know right now, I’m gonna rest, I’m gonna enjoy my family, but you know: If the money is right, I’ll come. If the money is right, I’ll fight right now, I don’t give a s***.

“Everybody is asking for everything right now. I fought all of them, so right now, I can ask whatever I want, and I can do whatever I want. I’m Mexican. Viva Mexico cabrones!”
