Canelo Alvarez dominated Callum Smith to further etch his name into boxing's history books. The Mexican became a bonafide four-weight world champion by winning almost every round against the Brit considered the best at super-middleweight.
Smith clung on to hear the final bell but his fate had long been sealed as he dropped the decision by scores of 119-109, 119-109 and 117-111. "It was one of my great nights because I conquered the unified titles," said Canelo. "I want all the belts. "That was one of the best performances of my career, but not the best.
I have had a lot of challenges and that was not the hardest." Alvarez opted to fight Smith six months after a fight with his fellow Brit Billy Joe Saunders fell apart.
