Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo results, takeaways: Mexican superstar reminds of his greatness

There were whispers of Alvarez's demise after a pair of sluggish outings, but he delivered a great performance on Saturday night

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez returned to the boxing ring on Saturday night, a statement that is true in more than one way. After a trio of disappointing performances that had many believing Alvarez's skills were in decline, he returned to form Saturday night by shutting down and dominating Jermell Charlo to retain his undisputed super middleweight title.

The fight was technically the first meeting of male undisputed champions in the four-belt era, though Charlo was stripped of his WBO junior middleweight title once the belt began. Despite the accomplishments of both men, it was clear from early in the fight that Alvarez was simply too strong and too good.

After 12 rounds and one knockdown, Alvarez took the win by official scores of 118-109, 118-109, and 119-108.
