Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez Defeats Mathew ‘Magic’ Hatton
Saul “Canelo” Alvarez of Mexico made his expected history Saturday, becoming the youngest super-welterweight boxing champion of all time.
The 20-year-old, red-headed sudden star from Guadalajara dominated the smaller Matthew Hatton at Honda Center, winning the World Boxing Council 154-pound belt by lopsided scores of 119-108 on all three judges’ scorecards.
Alvarez (36-0-1) not only landed nearly half of his punches on Hatton (41-5-2), he battered the British kid brother of former two-division champion Ricky Hatton 257-75 in power punches.
“This was a good experience for me, the title,” Alvarez said in the ring afterward. “It’s the first of many. I want to fight the biggest and the best. I’m going to be the next big name of Mexico.”
Some thoughts:
– Alvarez has a real nice left hook to the body.
– Alvarez is one of those rare things in boxing today: a legitimate combination puncher.
– When hit, Canelo always fires back.
– He really turns his punches over well.
– The kid is only 20 years old. He really could be the future of boxing.
– He is Mexican and looks Irish. And he fights like both. His mass appeal could be unreal.
– He does seem vunerable on the defensive end. Which should make him an even more exciting fighter once he moves up in competition.
Earlier in the night, 21 year old undefeated prospect, Adrien “The Problem” Broner was given a lopsided gift decision over veteran Daniel Ponce De Leon.
