january 2021 alvarez defended his titles against wbc mandatory challenger avni yilderim on the 27th of february we'll have been sold here at hard rock stadium in miami florida if omni yieldrum comes out and is aggressive there is a high degree of probability he walks into something he doesn't see this main event for the wbc wba and ring magazine super middleweight championship of the world canelo alvarez 30 years old five foot nine 70 and a half inch reach about the same as abney yieldrum who's 29 but of course a fast difference in skill level at least that's what we think ladies and gentlemen [Music] [Applause] in a one-sided fight alvarez defeated yield rim by third round corner retirement after yildirim's corner threw in the towel at the end of the third round even though you're blocking those shots believe me he's trying to laugh it off the fastest knockout canelo has had in the last 10 years with james kirkland the third round can he beat it tonight he senses the end downstairs

and this was just a pound for pound beat down by canelo alvarez canelo faced a former top pound-for-pound star in sergey kovalev who had a significant height and reach advantage kovalev stuck to a disciplined game plan that saw him work tirelessly behind the jab the menace [Applause] [Music] canelo aimed to work the body which was considered the path to victory however kovalev dealt with canelo's body punching and stuck to his guns by firing the jab whenever distance was created the fight was tightly contested and could have gone either way but then it all changed with one hellacious combination in the 11th round to end the fight here comes canelo landed that hook right angle they can be good can i find it having to move his head because pogba has not even committed to this hold on hold on it's over that fast there's fifth gear canelo is the light heavyweight champion of the world it's been two years since kyle smith won the world boxing super series he has been pleading for this very opportunity he took this fight on four weeks notice can he do what no fighter has been able to do since floyd mayweather beat canelo so for the thousands in attendance and the millions watching around the world ladies and gentlemen let's get ready to run [Music] [Applause] chris you from the opening round alvarez came out and let smith know it would be a long night he walked smith down pumped the jab and started shoveling his patented left hook to the this is what body could explode much harder right now it's countless smith the decent sergio uppercut it is closing the gap in the first two rounds with right hand by calgary comes back to the bottom of the combination 90 of the fight [Applause] smith the champion of the world is getting busted up but you see just a little bit of give on calum smith if he's won maybe one or maybe two rounds a little dance like three rounds ago i've never seen canelo dance either to smith's credit he embodied the heart of a champion the englishman continued to pour it on and try to push the issue however alvarez rocksmith on more than one occasion in the ninth round and looked to be seconds away from putting him away canelo winging shots throughout this fight combinations from canelo right hand and getting out of danger smith with enough pull and a body shot from canelo trying to close it canelo alvarez with the look of a three-division world champion [Applause] [Applause] [Music] he's got a good variety of shots if you look at this kid here he's different because young kid he's 20 years old but he's great voices
