A\ufeffustralia's Tim Tszyu<\/a> is officially a boxing world champion after Jermell Charlo<\/a> entered the ring against Canelo Alvarez<\/a>, meaning he was stripped of his WBO super welterweight title.<\/p>\n

WBO ruled that Charlo would be allowed to be introduced as undisputed against Canelo Alvarez, then stripped for not fighting mandatory, before today's loss.<\/p>\n

The fight between Charlo and Canelo was billed as a super fight and ended up in an undisputed decision win to \ufeffthe Mexican superstar, who thrashed his loud mouthed American opponent.<\/p>\n

"Nobody can beat this Canelo," Alvarez said after he thoroughly dominated Charlo to retain his unified super middleweight championship.<\/p>\n

\"Saul<\/p>\n

"I wasn't disappointed not to get the knockout. I feel great. That's why we fight 12 rounds. If I don't get the knockout, I get 12 rounds to show I'm the best, that I'm the better fighter. That's why it's 12 rounds, to show who's better."<\/p>\n

Alvarez (60-2-2) won by scores of 119-108, 118-109 and 118-109. The statistics were just as one-sided. Alvarez landed 42 punches to Charlo's 11, almost all power punches for both boxers.<\/p>\n

Charlo, the unified junior middleweight champ, moved up two weight classes to take on Alvarez.<\/p>\n

"I just felt like I wasn't me in there," Charlo said. "I don't make excuses for myself, so it is what it is. I take my punches and roll with it."<\/p>\n

"I'll move back to 154 (pounds). This morning, I weighed like 172 or 173 pounds. <\/p>\n

"I'll grandfather myself into this. I'm proud of myself. He didn't knock me out. He knocked all them other guys out. He hit me with some hard shots. I thought I got mine off."<\/p>\n

\"Tim<\/p>\n

His performance against Charlo figured to be a measuring stick on whether Alvarez could recreate some of his previous magic. There's no doubt now that he can, but the question is whether the Mexican-born fighter can sustain it.<\/p>\n

Who he fights next is uncertain.<\/p>\n

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has declared David Benavidez will be his mandatory challenger for the super middleweight belt.<\/p>\n

But Alvarez has not committed to facing Benavidez, a 26-year-old who is 27-0 with all but four wins by knockout. If Alvarez turns down Benavidez, the WBC likely would vacate his championship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
