In a high-stakes showdown in Las Vegas, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez successfully defended his undisputed super-middleweight world title with a unanimous points victory over Jaime Munguia. This bout was heavily anticipated, not only for the action expected in the ring but also due to the burgeoning personal tension between Canelo and boxing promoter Oscar De La Hoya.

The build-up to the fight saw the rekindling of a fiery rivalry between Canelo and De La Hoya, his former promoter, culminating in a heated exchange at the pre-fight press conference. However, the atmosphere seemed to cool off post-fight, with both parties adopting a more conciliatory tone.

Despite suffering his first career defeat, Munguia’s performance was commendable, showing great spirit and skill against one of boxing’s current titans. De La Hoya, present at the post-fight press conference, didn’t hesitate to praise both fighters. He acknowledged Munguia’s strong showing against “the current face of boxing” and reiterated his respect for Canelo’s capabilities inside the ring.

This match not only highlighted Canelo’s dominance in the super-middleweight category but also set the stage for potential future bouts, which could continue to draw significant attention given the ongoing narratives outside the ring.
