Canelo’s Record: Looking at His Last Three Fights

Canelo’s Record: William Scull

On May 3, 2025, Canelo faced the IBF super middleweight champion William Scull. It was a forgettable fight, with Scull choosing to engage minimally and move often. Canelo’s best work came when he targeted his opponent’s body.

It was the first fight of Canelo’s four-fight deal with Riyadh Season, and it was quickly forgotten. Alvarez needed to cut the ring off more effectively, and at times it felt like he was following Scull around the ring. The Mexican will need to cut the ring off against Crawford, who is capable of moving but picking Canelo off as he moves.

Edgar Berlanga

On September 14, 2024, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Edgar Berlanga got his big opportunity: A showdown with Canelo Alvarez. Puerto Rico vs Mexico, and Berlanga was full of confidence in the build-up. It was a quiet first few rounds, before Alvarez landed a left hook in the third, knocking Berlanga down.

“The Chosen One” weathered the storm and navigated his way out of the round. Berlanga showed bravery and did fire back at times, but Canelo was clearly winning the majority of exchanges. There were no surprises on the scorecards, with two judges scoring it 118-109, while one had it 117-110, awarding Canelo the unanimous decision victory.

Jaime Munguia

On May 4, 2024, It was Mexico vs Mexico as Canelo faced then unbeaten challenger, Jaime Munguia. The early rounds saw several exchanges between the two, with both having success. The turning point came in round four when Munguia went down from a left hook followed by a right uppercut.

Munguia showed flashes, with quick flurries of punches, but Canelo’s slick defence meant that many of these punches did not land cleanly. At the end of the fight, there was no doubt as Canelo cruised to a victory, winning by unanimous decision, with scorecards of 117-110, 116-111 and 115-112. Should Canelo gather the upper hand against Crawford as he did here, he won’t be able to take his foot off the gas as he seemingly did here.
