In spite of the fact that nine years senior, 'Enchantment Matt' was positioned just fifth by the WBC down at 147lbs and didn't make an excessive number of gouges in the lighter classification. Despite the fact that he associated with bounty, he did not have the jab to repulse the bull solid youthful tyro and subsequently took a shellacking.

Burdened by size, area and ability, Hatton's nose was bloodied in cycle two and his eye cut from cycle four. Notwithstanding, his iron block jaw permitted him to cross the completion line, still upright.

His agony will have been incompletely alleviated by the surplus $37,500 he trousered in remuneration for "Canelo" scaling 1lb 6oz over the 150lb catchweight cut-off (Saul was 'grinding away', even in those days!)

In any case, in his big showdown debut, Alvarez displayed the poise, assortment and exactness of a genuine family and the 1.4million HBO viewers more likely than not detected a hotshot was conceived.

Hatton reviewed: 'He was the best contender I've ever been in the ring with. He needs speed however he's outlandishly solid and extremely precise; didn't squander numerous. He didn't look enormous at the weigh –in yet, by battle night, he resembled Popeye after he'd eaten his spinach! My shots just bobbed off him.'

Ryan Rhodes, eighteenth June 2011, Jalisco, Mexico

The 34 year old 'Zest Boy', beginning for the 50th time in a 45-4 16 year profession was something of a 'kid star' himself, winning the British title at 20 and trying for the WBO middleweight strap at only 21. Be that as it may, boxing is about levels and "Canelo" was basically an evaluation above.The Sheffield switcher's portfolio recorded a profoundly valid 31 stoppage wins yet "Canelo" , still 20, gave first proof of his iron jaw. Dropped in cycle four, it wasn't much sooner than Rhodes had joined Hatton in the self-protection society.

Performing before 12,000 foaming Aztecas at the Arena VFG in his home state – 5,000 feet above ocean level - Alvarez indicated slicker guarded smarts than against Hatton and tormented the Tyke swindler with angry yet keen combos.

Subsequent to cruising through 11 rounds, "Canelo" flew out of the traps toward the begin of the finale and left Rhodes shaking on his heels with a torrent of short arm snares and uppercuts. Following 48 seconds of the session, the Panamanian ref and towel waving cornerman Dave Coldwell at the same time gave asylum. Alvarez's savage completion served as embellishment to a sparkling execution.

Rhodes reviewed: 'Saul were counterpunching me, keeping me on the end of the poke, the opposite I anticipated. It was a little ring and his body punches incurred significant damage. Each round I grew somewhat more crippled. I couldn't keep him away. It's the thickness of him.

He could box, counter, battle inside, punch...everything. I lost to a whiz.'

A sizeable segment of the 11 stone 1lb that Khan scaled the day preceding, will have been stuffed conveniently into his scrotum. In any case, for all his rankling hand speed and balletic footwork, 'Lord Khan', a one-time world light-welter ruler, just did not have the mass to contend over the big showdown trip with the Mexican bulldozer, in a WBC middleweight match at a controlled 155lbs.A high school Olympic medallist who turned ace at lightweight, Khan swatted effectively for five adjusts however essentially couldn't stun. Given that he'd been dumped a few times already by littler men with lighter hands, there was a sure certainty about the outcome...and accordingly it demonstrated.

In cycle six Amir dillydallied in extent for a really long time and, with the clock indicating 2;37, he copped a solitary right hand rocket that left him unmoving for a few minutes. A seven figure handbag will ideally have served as some wellspring of solace. At the end of the day, the maxim that a decent huge man beats a decent little man rang genuine.

Khan reviewed: 'I indicated fearlessness to get in the ring with Canelo yet ventured up too far. I didn't anticipate that him will be that huge. I'm a characteristic 147lb warrior. I attempted my best however I've never truly been hit that hard. That shot would've harmed many people.'
