Canelo Alvarez added another dominant decision victory to his resume on Saturday night in ‘Sin City.

Returning to T-Mobile, ‘Canelito’ put his WBA, WBC, and WBO super middleweight titles on the line against undefeated standout Edgar Berlanga in a fight that delivered the fireworks throughout its 12-round duration.

Berlanga came out looking a little jittery in the opening moments, but eventually found his footing and worked on splitting Avarez’s guard with a series of stiff jabs. Berlanga’s striking finally started to open up in the second stanza as the challenger landed some nice body shots and connected on multiple combinations.

Perhaps tired of playing with his food, Alvarez picked it up in the third and caught Berlanga in the corner with a lightning-fast left hand that sent his undefeated challenger crashing to the canvas. Berlanga answered the referee’s count prompting Alvarez to swarm and unleash of flurry of strikes. To Berlanga’s credit, he managed to survive the onslaught and made it out of the round.

Berlanga attempted to turn it on again in the later rounds, but an apparent injury to his right hand kept him from offering much in the way of offense until the final 10 seconds of the 12th when the two fighters decided to slug it out.

In the end, it was Alvarez who came out on top with a fairly dominant victory, taking the win on all three judge’s scorecards by a landslide.

Official Result: Canelo Alvarez def. Edgar Berlanga via unanimous decision (117-110, 118-109, 118-109)

Canelo Alvarez may have loads of talent, but legendary pugilist ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson doesn’t think he has much of a heart.

Bursting onto the boxing scene in the mid-80s, Tyson was one of the most fearsome heavyweights in the sport’s history, dispatching his first 19 opponents via knockout with none of them making it farther than the sixth round. Tyson was a fighter who prided himself on facing the next man up, no matter how big of a threat they posed.

In recent years, boxing has become more of a business than a sport with some of the biggest stars frequently holding out to try and secure a bigger bag and/or preserve their precious record rather than giving fans the fights they want to see.

As is the case with multi-weight world champion Canelo Alvarez who has routinely turned down a scrap with David Benavidez, the biggest threat to his status as the reigning WBA, WBC and WBO super middleweight champion, despite being offered a whopping $60 million to step in the ring with him.

“I can’t believe what I just heard,” Tyson told Marca in response to Alvarez turning down the fight with Benavidez. “What’s wrong with Canelo? Is he afraid of losing? Doesn’t he want to give the fans the fight they want to see? Don’t you want to give the fans the fight they want to see? Do you not respect the legacy of the great Mexican champions who faced the best regardless of the money?

This is a shame for boxing and for Mexico. If I were him, I would accept the fight with Benavidez and show the world that he is the best. But it seems he doesn’t have the courage to do it; It is a shame because he has a lot of talent but he lacks heart” (h/t Seconds Out).
