Saul "Canelo" Alvarez retained his World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association titles and seized the World Boxing Organization belt after beating Billy Joe Saunders via TKO
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez stopped Billy Joe Saunders in eight rounds on Saturday to unify three super middleweight titles in front of the largest US crowd in history to watch an indoor boxing event. Four weight world champion Alvarez retained his World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association titles and seized the Saunders' World Boxing Organization belt when the previously undefeated Briton retired on his stool after taking a beating in the eighth round. Alvarez won by technical knockout after Saunders' corner called a halt in front of 73,000-plus fans at AT&T Stadium, which was also the biggest to watch an American sports event since the coronavirus pandemic. Saunders sat still saying he couldn't see out of his right eye which was badly swollen from Alvarez's repeated and deliberate blows.More Related News
