The question of whether Canelo Alvarez can any longer knock out anyone likely won't go away his victory by unanimous decision Saturday night, but he remains the undisputed super middleweight champion because he was the stronger and more effective boxer. Alvarez (61-2-2), who closed as a minus-380 favorite at BetMGM, overcame a somewhat slow start to dominate and hand Jaime Munguia (43-1) his first loss. The champ took full control after knocking down Munguia in the fourth round before the announced crowd of 17,492, which was fairly evenly split between the two competitors.
