Canelo Álvarez’s career boxing record: wins, loses and KOs
The Guadalajara star is one of the most experienced and acknowledged fighters and will be looking to make more history this weekend.
The Cinco de Mayo weekend is just around the corner and that will translate into boxing and excitement for Mexican and worldwide fans one more year.
Saul Alvarez will be the most recognizable face of the iconic weekend. Differently from previous times, he will take on another Mexican warrior, the younger and taller Jaime Munguia, who has the opportunity of a lifetime to make history and become a superstar.
The undisputed super middleweight king defeated Jermell Charlo convincingly in his last fight and at 33 he feels he still has plenty left to offer. His next opponent will be a young and dangerous boxer who has never tasted defeat in 43 fights.
However, Canelo is confident and believes he will get his hand raised when asked about his opponent and believes the Tijuana native will be another of his multiple ‘victims’.
“This is going to be a great Mexican war. Munguia and I both come to win, but I am going to win and win decisively”, he said.
Canelo Alvarez’s boxing record
Alvarez will be a big favorite against Munguia for a reason. He’s the more experienced boxer, has been champion in multiple divisions, and holds all the belts at super middleweight. He has also fought tougher opposition and has a better boxing IQ.
This will be Canelo’s 65th fight, and he will be looking to record the 61st win of his career (60-2-2, 39 KOs). He has only lost twice as a professional. He suffered his first defeat to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2013 and was outboxed by Dmitry Bivol in 2022.
He also has two draws on his resume. The first dates from 2006, when Canelo took his first steps in the sport. He was held to a draw in a fight against Jorge Juarez in a four-round fight. The other draw was in the first fight against Gennady Golovkin in 2017. Many believed the Kazakh won the clash, but the judges ruled it a draw.
Canelo has stated that the fight will be a great matchup until it lasts, meaning he will stop his opponent before the final bell. If he stops Munguia, it will be the 40th fight he comes out on top via knockout.
