MGM Grand, Las Vegas - For the IBF, WBO, WBA, WBC super middleweight world titles, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs) became the undisputed champion with a sensational knockout of unbeaten Caleb Plant (21-1, 12 KOs) in the eleventh round.
Canelo unifies the entire super middleweight division in a year's time. He captured the WBC, WBA titles back in December with a dominating decision win over Callum Smith. He then added the WBO titles back in May, when he stopped Billy Joe Saunders in eight rounds after fracturing his orbital bone.
