Canelo Alvarez defended his undisputed super middleweight titles against Jaime Munguia by unanimous decision Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“(Munguia) is strong but he is a little slow. I can see every punch,” Alvarez said in the ring after the fight. “Sometimes he got me because I got so confident, but you know like I say, that’s why I have this kind of experience, that’s why I’m the best

Alvarez controlled the fight from around the second or third round, absorbing the pressure of Jaime Munguia well while countering with quick and effective shots. Munguia remained steadfast in his strategy to stay in Alvarez’s face but despite landing shots consistently, could not faze Alvarez.

Alvarez steadily chipped away as Munguia left himself open while attacking Alvarez. Munguia made for an exciting fight but ultimately Alvarez controlled the pace and looked comfortable throughout.

When asked if former two-time super middleweight champion David Benavidez may be next, Alvarez was non-committal and left his options open.

“I don’t know right now, I’m going to rest. I’m going to enjoy my family,” Alvarez said. “But you know if the money is right … I can fight right now.”

Alvarez said in the position he’s in, he can ask for whatever he wants and fight whoever he wants. The fans will certainly hope Benavidez is that man.

Benavidez was interviewed on the broadcast where he said he would love a fight with Canelo but can no longer wait around, as he moves up to 175-pounds for his next fight.

One thing is for certain, after a performance like he had on Saturday night, Alvarez remains one of the best boxers on the planet.
