By Dan Ambrose: Former WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-1-1, 30 KO’s) says he wasn’t bothered by the power of unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) in his 12 round majority decision loss to him last night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Canelo wound up on the losing end of the scores 114-114, 116-112 and 117-111. The 114-114 score from judge C.J. Ross has got to be one of the most laughable scores you’ll ever see in the sport.
Canelo said to ESPN Deportes “He is a fast fighter, more so when he’s hitting lightly. His punches are not powerful, so it makes them faster. It didn’t let me do the work that I thought I needed and we didn’t know how to counter that.”
