Canelo Alvarez successfully defended his undisputed super middleweight championship belts against fellow Mexican Jaime Munguia on May 4 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Canelo Alvarez proved his veteran guile once again, outpointing the younger Munguia via a unanimous decision (117-110, 116-111, 115-112) to retain his position as the undisputed king of the super middleweight division.
A seasoned four-weight world champion, Canelo boasts an unparalleled resume in contemporary boxing. Throughout his illustrious career, the 33-year-old has defeated notable names like Austin Trout, Erislandy Lara, Miguel Cotto, Gennadiy Golovkin, Daniel Jacobs, and Sergey Kovalev, solidifying his place as a pound-for-pound great for over a decade.
Munguia, despite lacking the experience and accolades of his opponent, presented a significant challenge. The 27-year-old brought firepower, resilience, and undeniable ambition to the ring. No stranger to major fights, Munguia previously held the WBO super welterweight title, making five successful defenses within a 14-month period.
