Canelo vs Charlo: Mexican great drops and overwhelms American with dominant performance in Las Vegas

Father Time may be undefeated, but Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez turned back the clock on Sunday against Jermell Charlo.

The Mexican champion overwhelmed the American – and sent him to the mat – in a truly dominating performance to receive a 12-round Unanimous Decision win in Las Vegas.

Canelo won big on all three judges’ scorecards – 118-109, 118-109, and 119-108.

Charlo, who climbed two divisions to get a life-changing opportunity with the sport’s money man, never really looked in it to win it.

While both fighters got off to an extremely slow start in the opening round – Charlo, no doubt, worried about Canelo’s heavy hitting –  it was Canelo who sought to drive the action against his taller opponent throughout the fight.

The Mexican champion caught the American with several thudding punches – including a right hand to the head in the 7^th round that sent Charlo to the canvas.
