Saul "Canelo" Alvarez overmatched Callum Smith at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday to add more world titles to his collection.
The arguably best pound-for-pound fighter defeated his British counterpart by unanimous decision (119-109, 119-109, 117-111) to capture the WBC and WBA super middleweight titles.
Alvarez now holds championship belts in four weight classes.
Canelo landed 43% of his punches compared to Smith's 18% while battering his opponent in the late rounds with power shots.

The loss was Smith's first as a professional, with his record falling to 27-1.
Alvarez, meanwhile, pushed his professional record to 54-1-2.
The 30-year-old hasn't lost since 2013 when he was beaten by Floyd Mayweather Jr., although Gennady Golovkin fought him to a draw in 2017.
