Alvarez dominates Smith to capture super-middleweight titles

The Hindu  

Canelo Alvarez unanimously outpointed previously undefeated Callum Smith to win the WBA & Ring super-middleweight championships and vacant WBC super-middleweight title at the Alamodome. Alvarez dominated his only bout this year, repeatedly hitting Smith with straight rights and right hooks to the head over 12 rounds. Alvarez landed a series of straight rights and right hooks to the head early in the fourth round that seemed to faze Smith. After a rather uneventful sixth round, Alvarez landed a hard right uppercut that snapped Smith’s head back.
