June 18th, 2011. Undefeated 20 year old Saul “Canelo” Alvarez takes on the tough stance switching EBU Light Middleweight Champion Ryan Rhodes aka “Spice Boy” in the first defense of his WBC Light Middleweight Champion in his hometown of Jalisco, Mexico.

Prefight records; Alvarez 36(26)-01, Rhodes 45(31)-4.

In March 2011, Alvarez dominated “Magic” Matthew Hatton (Ricky Hatton’s younger brother) to garner the vacant WBC Light Middleweight Title via a lopsided UD12. For his first defense, he was up against former BBBofC British Light Middleweight Champion Ryan Rhodes.

Entering the bout, the 16 year veteran Rhodes’ most notable win was over Jamie Moore back in October 2009 while the undefeated 20 year old Canelo had commendable wins over Jose Miguel Cotto, Carlos Baldomir, Matthew Hatton & Lovemore Ndou.

From the opening bell, Alvarez skillfully pounded Rhodes to the body and head from pillar to post en route to an easy 12th round TKO. Rhodes had lost every round leading up to the stoppage.

In the 4th frame, Rhodes was knocked down with a combination.

Interestingly, this victory marked the 240th round fought by Canelo Alvarez who was 1 month away from his 21st birthday at the time of this bout.

After the loss, Rhodes went 1-1 and retired with a final record of 46(31)-6 a year later.

On May 4th 2019, Alvarez now a 3 weight world champion will be taking on “The Golden Child” Daniel Jacobs in a Middleweight Unification fight with his WBA & WBC 160 pound titles on the line while Jacobs’ IBF Crown will also be for the taking.

This is a potential Fight of the Year candidate and definitely one of the most anticipated showdowns of 2019!
