Canelo Alvarez dominates Jermell Charlo, retains undisputed super middleweight titles

LAS VEGAS — For anyone who saw slippage in Canelo Alvarez during his less-than-spectacular win over John Ryder in Mexico on May 6 and expected it to carry over to Saturday, well, it didn’t.

Alvarez dominated the taller and rangier Jermell Charlo on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in a battle of undisputed champions. The two competed for Alvarez’s undisputed super middleweight titles and it was no contest most of the way.

Alvarez won a unanimous decision to retain his titles by scores of 118-109 twice and 119-108. Yahoo Sports had it 119-108 for Alvarez.
