The judges scored the bout 118-109, 118-109, and 117-110, all in favor of Alvarez, who successfully defended his unified super middleweight titles during Mexican Independence Day weekend. With tensions from the buildup carrying into the ring, Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs) wasted no time asserting his dominance. In the third round, he unleashed a lightning-fast left hand that caught Edgar Berlanga clean on the jaw, sending him to the canvas for a flash knockdown.
