The fight

Alvarez dominated nearly every minute and unanimously outpointed Matthew Hatton on Saturday night to win the vacant WBC 154-pound belt, adding another superlative to a top boxing prospect's remarkable rise.

Alvarez (36-0-1, 26 KOs) picked apart Hatton from the opening bell, peppering the smaller Englishman with head shots and using his brute power. Hatton (41-5-2) twice went to the canvas after getting hit out of a break with Alvarez, but wasn't seriously hurt either time.

All three judges scored the bout 119-108, meaning Alvarez won every round on every card. He lost one point for an illegal punch in the seventh round, which was uniformly scored 9-9.[3]

Alvarez landed 47 percent of his 626 punches, including 53 percent of his power shots, while Hatton connected with just 25 percent of his 546 total blows.[4] Шаблон:External media
