Canelo Alvarez successfully defended his unified supermiddleweight titles in front of a raucous Las Vegas crowd, beating Edgar Berlanga by unanimous decision.

On Mexican Independence weekend, there was a strong crowd from south of the border in Sin City, and their man put on a show against his New York-born opponent.

Alvarez knocked Berlanga down with a left hook in the third round, and was eventually crowned the victor, with the judges scoring the fight 117-110, 118-109 and 118-109.

Speaking in the ring after the victory, Canelo told the sellout crowd at T-Mobile Arena: ‘I’m the best fighter in the world.’

On a huge weekend for fight sports in Las Vegas with UFC at The Sphere just down the road, Alvarez put on a clinic against his previously-unbeaten opponent, whose record now falls to 22-1.
