CANELO ALVAREZ DEFEATS MIGUEL COTTO BY UNANIMOUS DECISION 11/21 ON HBO PPV! #SUBSCRIBE Canelo Alvarez Beats Miguel Cotto By Unanimous Decision To Be Crowned WBC MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION! Golovkin Is Mandatory For The Belt! Next May? It may not have done Mayweather-Pacquiao business, but the good news is that it wasn't Mayweather-Pacquiao the actual fight. While Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez didn't exactly light up the highlight reel in a tactical main event battle Saturday night on HBO pay-per-view, they did both come to fight, and they kept the live crowd engaged through all 12 rounds, with Alvarez ultimately emerging victorious by decision. The scores were a bit questionable, but there's no doubt the right man won. Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KO), the new middleweight world champion, won on scores of 117-111, 118-110, and 119-109. HBO's Harold Lederman had it 117-111 for the 25-year-old Mexican star. SB Nation scored the fight 115-113, closer but a clear victory for Alvarez, who made a compelling argument with his power, and closed the show strong in the 12th and final round. For Alvarez, this is the biggest win of his young career, as he knocks off a legitimate star and future Hall of Famer, Official punch stats -- which are not an exact science, mind you -- had Canelo outlanding Cotto, 155 to 129, and landing at a 32% rate, compared to just 21% for the 35-year-old Puerto Rican veteran.
