Canelo vs Charlo HIGHLIGHTS: September 30, 2023 | PBC on Showtime PPV

Undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Álvarez successfully defended his world titles by dropping Jermell Charlo on his way to a dominant unanimous decision (119-109, 118-109 twice) in the SHOWTIME PPV main event Saturday night from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Canelo Promotions presented the Premier Boxing Champions pay-per-view.

“I’m a strong fighter all the time, against all the fighters,” said Canelo. “I’m a strong man. Nobody can beat this Canelo.”

Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KOs) was dominant from start to finish, using the masterful ring IQ and sublime power that’s made him a future Hall of Famer to flummox the junior middleweight king Charlo (35-2-1, 19 KOs). Moving up two weight classes in an attempt to reign in two divisions, Charlo was able to occasionally land flush but was met with a wall of resistance from Canelo.

“I just felt like I wasn’t me in there,” said Charlo. “I don’t make excuses for myself, so it is what it is. I take my punches and roll with it. It’s boxing. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.”

Charlo’s defense first showed cracks in the early rounds when Canelo’s signature power hooks to the body had a clear effect on him and forced him to focus largely on defense in the first half of the fight. In round seven, Canelo broke through with a looping overhand right that stunned Charlo and forced him to take a knee.

“Truthfully, I could feel the difference in the weight,” said Charlo. “I picked up 14 pounds. I am undisputed in my weight division. You fall short sometimes, but you just have to keep on pushing. My roll don’t stop right here. I’m proud of myself. He hit me with some hard shots. I thought I got mine off. I’m the little Charlo and I represent that.”

The rest of the seventh round saw Charlo fight intelligently, and even land some of his cleanest shots to make it to the bell. Charlo initially showed more urgency but was unable to deter the surgical precision of Canelo’s offense and defense. Canelo dominated the CompuBox stats as well as the scorecards, owning a 134 to 71 advantage in total punches landed, including an impressive 42 body shots.

“We worked on attacking the body,” said Canelo. “We know he’s a great fighter. He knows how to move in the ring. We worked on attacking the body for three months. For three months in the mountains without my family, without everything.”

The championship rounds saw more of the same as Canelo cruised to the final bell while being serenaded with chants from his thousands of loyal fans in attendance. After thanking his legions of supporters, Canelo declared himself open to facing anyone next .

“I still love boxing,” said Canelo. “I love boxing so much. Boxing is my life. Boxing made me the person I am today. That’s why I love boxing so much. And I love boxing so much because of my fans, too…Cinco de Mayo I’ll face whoever. I don’t care.”

We have to admit that Charlo is a real tough guy, he resist 12 rounds with that beast. Great fighters both.

[robk]

Mexico should be proud of this boxing stallion, what an animal and thing of beauty all at once.

[jeovanyalvarado]

Canelos power and ability to cut off the ring completely derailed anything Charlo wanted to do

[usgalsen]

Total domination. I used not to like Canelo's boxing style but he keeps improving every fight.

[GalactusOG]

Canelo and Barrios dominated. Viva Mexico!

[Luxee...P]

I just love Canelo's technique, even when his brawling he maintains it

[kingtwelve]

I’m selling punching bags, I named them charlos bags

[Papichuloooo]

Canelo looked so fucking sharp that fight. His jab is the most underrated weapon in his arsenal in my opinion. He kept using the jab so effectively by measuring distance and getting on the inside. His ability to cut off the ring has improved so much throughout the years and he is looking faster and stronger since the Caleb fight!

[AphiweNkwenkwezi]

Those gunshots from Canelo. Man Charlo is tough.

[Factsoverfeels]

Canelo is the face of boxing🥊. Resume speaks for itself

[Obecox]

If Bivol and Triple G couldn't stop him, I highly doubt any other fighter could.

[JokerFlex]

Charlo was classy in defeat

I pray for protection and blessings in his future a good sport

Congratulations Canelo Alvarez you never disappoint
