When he came in close, Mayweather stung him with a hook and actually came close to knocking out a superior power puncher. Mayweather was supposed to have problems with a younger, stronger fighter who seemed like the total package.
Unfortunately for Canelo, Mayweather returned that package to sender because it didn't belong with him in the first place. In the end, it was Mayweather who looked like the youngster while Alvarez looked like the old, slower veteran. Now, that's not to say Canelo isn't one of the best in the sport — he just isn't Mayweather and next to Money, Alvarez is average at best. Of all his potential opponents coming up, none of them stand a chance at dethroning the King.
Danny Garcia could be next, but he's far too slow and his power will get him nowhere. Amir Khan and Devon Alexander are also possibilities to take on Money, but we all know neither of those fighters stand a chance. Either way, this should be an encouraging performance for Alvarez. The young boxer has a promising career ahead of him, and if he takes note of the following points, he will give Mayweather a better fight in a potential rematch.
For a guy who was eight years old when Mayweather won his first world title, Alvarez showed remarkable composure in the ring. He was on the biggest stage of his career by far , facing the best opponent of his career by far , and he didn't look the least bit phased. It would have been easy for Canelo to become star struck, to let the atmosphere and his opponent overpower his sense of judgement.
Instead, he was calm and composed, keeping his emotions in check and his faint hopes of victory alive. Canelo also impressed with a couple of late flurries. The year-old needed a miracle to win the fight after Mayweather's early dominance, and as he landed a couple of big blows in the waning rounds, it seemed at least remotely possible that he could pull off the upset. A lesser boxer may have been rocked by Canelo's late-fight right hooks. Unfortunately for the Mexican, he was not fighting a lesser boxer.
Although he was easily defeated, Canelo didn't make any egregious mistakes. Canelo arrived last night in Las Vegas on his private jet to prepare the final details for his fight against Caleb Plant on Saturday, November 6.
