Twitter reacts to Canelo Alvarez dominating Jermell Charlo for 60th pro win (Video)
By Amy Kaplan
On Saturday, Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo faced off in the ring with the super middleweight title on the line.
In the first round each fighter landed just one strike, 23 were thrown over all. But with Alvarez fights, starting slow is normal.
In the seventh round a straight right brought Charlo to his knees and it looked like the fight might be over, but he was able to survive.
The fight lasted all 12 rounds with Alvarez dominating most of them for an official score of 119-108, 118-109, 118-109 via unanimous decision.
"I love you all," Alvarez said after the fight.
"I'm a strong fighter all the time," she continued. "Nobody can beat this Canelo."

It seemed like, with no UFC on tonight, all the fighters were tuned in.
Decent 9th rd. by Charlo, but his punches have the effect of a mosquito at a Barbecue. #CaneloCharlo

So, what was Charlo’s game plan strategy, and what did he decide to do? Perplexing. #Boxing #CaneloCharlo
