Canelo Alvarez now has four championship belts, making him — as USA TODAY Sports reported — “the first undisputed super-middleweight champion of the four-belt era, a feat he celebrated by donning a king’s crown and standing on the ropes of his corner with both arms aloft” on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Alvarez defeated Caleb Plant in the 11th round with a knockout that came after he had just knocked down Plant seconds earlier, a sequence that ended the fight and made Alvarez a legend.
Here’s that entire sequence, from multiple angles including the broadcast and the ringside view:
