Saunders did not come out for the eighth round due to a blow to the cheekbone and Canelo Alvarez has taken the win.

El Canelo has come back with two right hands that doubled Saunders and, in addition, invited the fans to cheer him on, causing a deafening noise at AT&T Stadium.

From Canelo's corner they yell at him not to despair, because Saunders has begun to gain in confidence and has tried to provoke him to get him into his game. In a very even round.

When it seemed that Canelo would regain control of the fight, Sanders answered with a left hand that hurt and disconcerted Canelo, who needs to calm down in these moments of doubt.

Saunders begins to perk up and loosen up a bit more, in fact, at times, letting his guard down and stepping away to invite more offense from Canelo, who still can't connect with any powerful punches.

Saunders continues to try to avoid the distribution of blows, although now Canelo found the oper that he had wanted so much to impact and bend the British.

Saunders does not know how to hurt a Canelo who is being patient and, above all, throwing right hands, which is what has generated good dividends in the first rounds.

Canelo began to let loose and rocked the stadium with two right hands, especially a straight right that hit Saunders' face and made him step back and breathe for a few seconds.

In the first minutes of the fight, both fighters kept their distance, although Canelo twice connected with Saunders' soft zone to hurt him.

Both Saunders and Canelo are introduced in the ring, seconds before the fight starts.

Billy Sanders comes out to AT&T Stadium full of boos and thirsty for victory to continue his undefeated record.

Mayweather says that if Saunders wins he would be willing to fight the Brit.

The anthem of Great Britain is sung, followed by the anthems of Mexico and the United States.

Only against Mayweather and Golovkin has Canelo not been able to take away their undefeated records, but he has defeated all the others and expects Saunders to be one more to the list.

Canelo has not lost since 2013 when he lost to Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

We are minutes away from Saunders and Canelo Alvarez entering the ring. Don't miss the details.

Round 8: ¡La 'Pulga' Soto parece estar agotado y son los momentos que el nipón Takayama aprovecha con singular alegría!

Soto started with a flurry of punches where the Japanese had no reaction for several seconds and the victory went to the Mexican.

Now Soto connected with a left-handed volado that did some damage, but he lacked more speed and punching power against a Japanese who never gives up and continues to take control of the fight.

Takayama started the round better, dominating in the early stages, but Soto began to loosen up and in the end a couple of hooks were able to tip the balance of the round in his favor.

Soto's forehand is still very powerful and is generating damage on the Japanese, who tried to react and was saved by the bell.

Soto's hooks continue to be very effective and twice hit the face of Takayama, who throws more punches, but can not face Soto's good guard.

Now it is Takayama who carries the baton and rhythm of the fight, but the power punches, although they have been few, have been more effective from the gloves of the Aztec fighter.

The Japanese is neglecting both his guard and distance and Soto has taken advantage of this to keep throwing punches, but he has not been able to finish the fight to send Takayama to the canvas.

Elwin Soto was better, generated damage and put the power in the gloves to stagger the Japanese and took the first round.

Elwin Soto and Katsunari Takayama are already in the ring for the WBO World Light Flyweight title.

Earlier in the week Saunders' dad went so far as to claim that the fight was off, but the two boxers were able to come to an agreement.

These were Eddy Reinoso's words of encouragement that he published today on his social networks:

Today a Mexican fights against an Englishman and they fight in the United States where the dream is difficult to achieve, this day support us because we will go out the whole team canelo to leave high the name of our MEXICO LINDO Y QUERIDO VIVA MEXICO CABRONES.
