By Chris Williams: Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (43-1-1, 31 KO’s) feels that his 10th round TKO win over Alfredo Angulo (22-4, 18 KO’s) last Saturday night was redemption for him from his humiliating defeat at the hands of Floyd Mayweather Jr. last September.
For Canelo, he sees himself as having proven that he’s learned from the loss to Mayweather, and that he’s improved his game. However, I’m really not so sure that a fighter as limited and as poor as Angulo is someone good enough for Canelo to make that kind of a statement about himself.

Many fans were predicting that Angulo was going to win. For a moment I was puzzled as to why people were picking Angulo to win, I know that there is an emotional factor involved when rooting for a fighter and I do feel that Angulo is an easy guy to like, but based on skill I didn’t quite understand why people were saying that Angulo would win so boldly. 
By Chris Williams: WBA interim junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara got up on stage last night at the Saul “Canelo” Alvarez – Alfredo Angulo post-fight press conference, and called Canelo out out in front of a large audience of media members. Instead of Canelo giving Lara hope for a future fight now that he’s had his easy tune-up fight against Angulo, Canelo told Lara that he has to wait for a fight a fight. Before saying that, Canelo questioned what fans are interested in seeing him fight Lara.

From Mayweather Sr’s perspective, Angulo wasn’t trying to hit Canelo hard at all in their fight on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, and he wonders why he didn’t.

It didn’t matter that Angulo was still fighting back hard, Weeks decided that he’d seen enough of the mostly one-sided fight. Canelo was ahead on the judges scorecards by the scores of 89-82, 88-83 and 89-82 at the time of the stoppage.

Referee Tony Weeks halted the fight early in the 10th round after Angulo took some brutal shots to the head.

To Schaefer, Canelo would have made the effort to get down to the junior middleweight limit if he had a reason to. Canelo now has to make the 168 lb re-hydration limit for today otherwise he’ll need to give Angulo a little more money. Canelo gave Angulo $100,000 yesterday for having the weight moved up from 154 to 155.
