Las Vegas, Nevada - May 7, 2023
In a highly anticipated bout, Canelo Álvarez emerged victorious over Jaime Munguia, successfully defending his undisputed super middleweight championship. The 12-round decision win took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Álvarez, known for his formidable defense and counterpunching skills, controlled the pace of the fight from the opening bell. Munguia, a younger and aggressive challenger, started strong but struggled to overcome Álvarez's experience and technical prowess.
Despite several close rounds, Álvarez's superior boxing IQ and power ultimately proved too much for Munguia. A late-round right uppercut dropped Munguia, who managed to stay on his feet but was unable to mount a significant comeback.
With this victory, Álvarez further cemented his status as one of the pound-for-pound best boxers in the world. Munguia, while falling short in his title bid, earned respect for his resilience and aggressive style.
