Celebrate the Canelo
In the absence of the official verdict, Canelo celebrated with the public the victory over the undefeated English Callum Smith.
12th round
Callum Smith tried to leave with the conviction of all or nothing, however, the Canelo tied him up and based on blows he put him back between the ropes. If nothing extraordinary happens, Canelo will win it unanimously through the cards.
11th round
Smith's goal is no longer to win, but to try to finish the fight and he is one round away from doing so. El Canelo hurt him again with another blow to the face that made him stagger.
10th round
Smith is living a real nightmare, as his eye starts to close, he resorts to hugs and he is no longer throwing punches. El Canelo continues to deliver blows left and right, but none that can send his opponent to the canvas.
Summary 9th round

9th round
Two Canelo forehands that came in full force and made people scream in the Alamodome. Likewise a hook that made the Englishman bend, although it didn't break. It seems that Canelo, when he decides, can finish the fight at any time.
8th round
Little by little Canelo begins to be more effective in his strokes, especially in the hooks and an oper that went in full. Smith begins to walk backwards instead of turning to the front to try to reverse the situation of the fight against her.
Vibrant fight between Canelo and Smith

Canelo put Smith on the ropes, but couldn't connect him as he would have liked. The Briton has on several occasions tried to react with an oper, although without being able to generate any damage.
6th round
After losing the previous round, Canelo regains control of the fight with a pair of hooks that connected Smith's face, who took the blows and tries to get out of the ropes, although he is still seen with little mobility.
