Mexican Independence Day weekend is a special time when proud Mexicans honor their culture, heritage and love for combat. It’s only fitting that this one will be headlined by the return of one of the country’s greatest fighters ever. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez grew up in Juanacatlan and climbed to the peak of stardom using nothing but his fists. Since turning pro at 15, Alvarez has embodied the Mexican fighting spirit as a no-nonsense slugger with slick defensive skills. At 35, Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) has claimed titles in four separate weight classes and currently holds the undisputed super middleweight championship.
