---

Undefeated champions move to unify their titles when WBC Super Welterweight Champion Saul Alvarez faces WBA Champion Austin Trout. In a fight with no shortage of close rounds, Alvarez gains a big edge when he freezes Trout with a straight right hand seconds into round seven, sending the WBA Champion collapsing onto all fours for the first knockdown of his career. Although Trout comes back strong, open scoring lets Alvarez know that he has the fight in the bag as he coasts through the twelfth and wins a surprisingly wide unanimous decision on the cards.
