This comment struck a nerve. You keep bringing it up and yet you won't tell us how many rounds you think Canelo won. You'd rather deflect and answer with a question.
You, or anyone else, would be hard-pressed to find more than two rounds to give Alvarez and that was reflected in fan scorecards and the opinions of boxing scribes.
Of course, the judges scorecards of 115-113 were a reflection of the favor Alvarez enjoys with judges, same as the 114-114 scorecard he got with Mayweather.

He dominated and dropped a young guy who was probably 20+ pounds heavier on the night. Give credit to Berlanga’s chin. Canelo looked very solid, but he’s not fighting his natural weight (154-160) anymore.Comment

Canelo used to weigh 174 on fight night when he fought at 154. 168 is his natural weight.Comment

I think that’s the weight he’s comfortable at in his 30s, but I don’t believe SMW is his optimal fighting weight. Canelo is 5’8” on a good day. Despite his stocky frame he could still make 160 lbs comfortably with the same training regiment that he did 5 to 10 years ago. Canelo remains an elite fighter at 168 pounds for sure but this is because of his skills. As we’ve seen, when he fights big 168 pounders and natural light heavyweights even his big punch doesn’t carry.Comment
