LAS VEGAS—The question of whether Canelo Alvarez can any longer knock out anyone likely won’t go away with his unanimous victory Saturday night, May 4, but he remains the undisputed super middleweight champion because he was the stronger and more effective boxer.

Alvarez (61–2–2), who closed as a minus-380 favorite at BetMGM, overcame a somewhat slow start to dominate and hand Jaime Munguia (43–1) his first loss.
