LOS ANGELES - Known for his power and dominance in the ring, Canelo Alvarez (47-1-1, 33 KOs) will look to win his third title in the junior middleweight division when he challenges undefeated heavy-hitter Liam "Beefy" Smith (23-0-1, 13 KOs) for the WBO Junior Middleweight World Championship on Saturday, September 17. A battle between two power-punchers, Canelo vs. Smith promises action between two fighters willing to take a punch in order to secure the next Knockout of the Year. The event will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT.

Since All Star Boxing was awarded an 8.5 million dollar judgement against Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (47-1-1, 33KOs), rumors have been swirling regarding the issue of who the 25-year-old Mexican would face in his next fight.

Middleweight contender Willie Monroe Jr. (20-2, 6KOs) is gunning for a big fight, and he's ready to travel to the UK to get it done. This past Saturday night at Turning Stone Casino in New York, Monroe returned for the first since last May's knockout loss to middleweight king Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin.

Liam Smith did what he had to do with his brutal demolition of Predrag Radosevic in Liverpool last weekend. The man from Montenegro – with one previous defeat on his card – didn’t get a chance to show resistance, but the bout served its purpose and kept Beefy busy.

Scouse hero Liam Smith emphatically defended his WBO World Super-Welterweight title with a second round stoppage win over Montenegro’s Predrag Radosevic at the Liverpool Echo Arena. ‘Beefy’, making the second defence of his world title in his own city, dropped his challenger to the canvas with a signature crippling left body hook one minute and thirty-three seconds into the second round. The contest was over after Radosevic failed to beat the referees count.
