Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo LIVE: Undisputed champions go head-to-head in huge bout

Four-division champion clearly has the crowd in his corner at T-Mobile. Some light booing was heard when Charlo was announced.

His four junior middleweight belts are not on the line tonight, but Canelo’s quartet of titles at 168 are very much in play

Up next, the main event: Canelo Alvarez (59-2-2) vs. Jermell Charlo (35-1-1) at super middleweight

Farhood gave Ramos the edge: 116-112.

The three judges, however, all went in favor of Lubin

Gives credit to Lubin after his first career defeat. Says he’ll go back to the drawing board and come back stronger

Lubin: “i’m one of the top dogs in the division.”

Says he deserves more top fights. Doesn’t consider himself a gatekeeper at junior middleweight

Crowd sounds upset by the unanimous-decision win granted to Lubin.

scores: 115-113; 116-112; 117-111

Ramos also landed more than 80 power punches

Lubin did some good work along the ropes earlier in the fight, but Lubin pushed the action towards the middle of the ring, which seemed to help his turnaround

Suddenly Lubin is his former self in these later rounds

The two were tangled on the ropes when Lubin took the opportunity to sneak in a few rabbit punches

Lubin has been gaining steam heading into the championship rounds.

The undefeated, undisputed welterweight champ has been vocal about his desire to fight Canelo in the future.

Crawford could also fight with Charlo at junior middleweight if he can’t book Canelo

Julio Cesar Chavez is also in attendance

… but had the wind taken out of his sail by 6-foot-6 Sebastian Fundora in April of 2022 when his corner threw in the towel.

Looking strong tonight against a fellow southpaw, but Ramos has an excellent uppercut and very good power. Dangerous, young fighter at just 20.

Americans Jesus Ramos Jr. (20-0) and Erickson Lubin (25-2) are up next at junior middleweight. Ramos could eventually fight his way into a battle with Charlo if he continues winning. He’s coming off a March stoppage victory over Joseph Spencer.

Unlikley Ugas saw this left hook coming.

Ugas falls to 27-6 and has now lost consecutive fights for the second time in his career.

… but as one can tell from his eye, it’s unlikely he’s going to get the decision.

Ugas went down in the final round, likely because he couldn’t see Barrios’ left hook out of his right eye.

Ugas’ right eye is closing. In his last fight, against Errol Spence Jr., he suffered significant damage to that same orbital bone.

Ugas, a 37-year-old Cuban with a decorated amateur career, hasn’t fought since his 2022 TKO loss to Errol Spence Jr. at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Barrios beat Jovanie Santiago with an eighth-round TKO in February in his native San Antonio, but lost his previous two fights: A unanimous decision to Keith Thurman and a TKO defeat to Gervonta Davis.

Good evening. The night the boxing world has been waiting for has finally arrived, as Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez puts his unified super middleweight titles on the line in Las Vegas against junior middleweight champ Jermell Charlo, who jumps two difvisions for the chance to face the biggest name in the sport.

In the first fight of the televised card, Elijah Garcia (16-0) earned a stoppage over Mexico’s Armando Resendiz (14-2) in an impressive performance for the 20-year-old American southpaw. It was Resendiz’s first stoppage defeat of his career.
