Another quality win for Saul Alvarez

Saul Alvarez KO 6 Carlos Baldomir TIME: 2:58

Carlos Baldomir said he would knockout the young inexperienced Alvarez. He couldn't have been more wrong. Saul Alvarez dominated this one tonight at the Staples Center. Saul Alvarez has joined Paulo Sanchez as one of only two men that have knocked out the very tough Carlos Baldomir. This is a feat that not even Vernon Forest, or Floyd Mayweather could achieve . Carlos Baldomir like to pressure, and bring the fight to his opponents. He was pressing forward in the first round behind his jab trying to get close to the much quicker Alvarez. It looked like Alvarez was going to use his superior speed to counter-punch his methodical challenger. Alvarez was more active then Carlos Baldomir. Baldomir has a tough time puling the trigger because of the speed difference, and lets up on the gas a bit in the second. The 3 round showed Alvarez letting his hands go more, and more, landing at a high rate then the previous two rounds. Baldomir tries his best to mount an attack in the third round but it isn't going to be enough. The amount of crisp, clean, hard punches is beginning to take its toll on the older fighter. Baldomir would have to have to land a fight changing blow if he wants back in this fight. In the last two rounds of this 6 round destruction we get to see Alvarez land some pretty impressive combination punching. Every combination he throws has more ill intent on it, and is doing more , and more damage. The sixth round played out like a highlight reel for the young Alavarez. Alvarez has Baldomir in trouble, and lands a huge left hook that lands viciously on Baldomir. This punch sent him face first to the canvas for the count. Saul Alvarez has a very bright future ahead of him, and I already can't wait to see his next fight.
