Las Vegas • Canelo Alvarez added another belt to his collection Saturday night, outworking Daniel Jacobs over 12 rounds to win a unanimous decision in their middleweight title unification fight.
Alvarez was the more active fighter early and held on late to win a close but unanimous decision in the 160-pound showdown before a pro-Alvarez crowd on the Las Vegas Strip.
Two ringside judges scored it 115-113, while the third had it 116-112. The Associated Press scored it 115-113 in favor of Alvarez.
Alvarez, a 5-1 favorite at fight time, was tested by a bigger fighter in Jacobs but did enough to win in a fight that had no knockdowns and no serious fouls.
