Alvarez And Broner Arrive By Very Different Means
By Ernest Gabion - Undefeated sensation Saul Alvarez is now in the record books, as the 20-year old wunderkind became the youngest ever junior middleweight titlist after easily handling Matthew Hatton in their 12-round bout Saturday evening at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Scores were 119-108 across the board in the evening’s main event, which aired live on HBO’s Boxing After Dark series. From the outset this was the mismatch we feared for. The phrase "from pillar to post" had this exact fight in mind. Size, skill, power intangibles all swayed heavily for Alvarez. Canelo picked him apart, countered everything Hatton threw and had Hatton reeling with almost every landed punch. By the 2nd round Hatton was already bleeding from the nose and also visibly shaken from the body attack Canelo launched. The 7th saw the lone Hatton moment when referee Lou Moret deducted a point away from Alvarez for hitting him on the break. The 9th round was where we finally saw Hatton wane from the punishment he took, wobbling in spots from the uppercuts and right hands Alvarez landed. While this was a one sided affair, Hatton seemed in it just enough to allow Moret to continue on with the action. The final rounds couldn't have come fast enough for Hatton as he managed to see the final bell and maybe gain a moral victory out of the bludgeoning he received. The scorecards of 119-108 were mere formalities as Alvarez now becomes the WBC Super Welterweight Champion of the world improving his record to 36-0 (26KOs). Hatton falls to 41-5 (16KOs).
