Alvarez crushes Yildirim to retain super middleweight crown

·2-min read
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez celebrates after crushing Turkey's Avni Yildirim in three rounds at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez demolished Turkey's Avni Yildirim in three rounds to retain his WBC and WBA super middleweight titles by knockout on Saturday.

Mexico's Alvarez dominated underdog Yildirim from the opening bell and sent the Turk crashing to the canvas with a crisp left-right combination in the third round at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium.

The outclassed Yildirim then failed to emerge from his corner for the fourth round as Alvarez once again demonstrated why he is regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in boxing.

"I wanted to have a great fight here and I did what I had to do," Alvarez said.

"I needed a knockout and that's what I did. It doesn't matter if they're taller, if they've got more reach, or they've got a good trainer. I came to do my job, I came here to win."

Alvarez, who improved to 55-1-2 with 37 knockouts, had got back into the ring on Saturday a little over two months after beating Britain's Callum Smith in December.

After the fight, promoter Eddie Hearn said the 30-year-old Mexican star will next seek to add the World Boxing Organisation belt to his collection with a May 8 fight against Britain's Billy Joe Saunders.

The Saunders fight will be the next step in Alvarez's quest to become the first undisputed super middleweight champion in boxing history.

"No one has done it," Alvarez said. "I want to make history. No-one has done it at 168."

Alvarez meanwhile brushed off suggestions that he wants to be remembered as the greatest boxer Mexico has ever produced.

"I respect everyone but I want to make my own history," Alvarez said.

Saturday's bout will give Saunders plenty of food for thought after Alvarez produced his trademark blend of technical skill and punching power to overwhelm mandatory challenger Yildirim.

The 29-year-old Turk, fighting for the first time in two years, looked hesitant from the outset as Alvarez landed an array of hooks to the body and uppercuts to easily win the first round.

The second round followed an identical pattern, with Yildirim barely offering any kind of resistance as Alvarez worked his opponent's ribcage mercilessly.

The end came after a third round where Alvarez once again went on the attack against a passive Yildirim.

A straight left from Alvarez smashed through Yildirim's guard and landed on his chin and the following right sent the Turk rocking backward to the canvas.

Although Yildirim hung on for the remainder of the round, the end was nigh. As Yildirim slumped on his stool, trainer Joel Diaz could be heard telling his fighter he would give him only one more round before throwing in the towel.

In the event, it never got that far as Yildirim failed to come out for the fourth to hand Alvarez victory by technical knockout.

  • Hemp, Inc. Reports: Studies Are Proving Life-Saving Benefits of Marijuana Legalization

    Las Vegas, NV, April 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP), a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with bi-coastal processing centers, shows that new research is being made in the legalization of cannabis products that could present a significant improvement in public health and wellness. The general support by both the public and lawmakers for the legalization of marijuana has increased significantly in recent years. As we learn more about the potential benefits that could impact our communities, government officials and citizens have joined forces to encourage the consideration of decriminalizing marijuana usage. Hemp Inc. is working to make a difference and spread awareness of the life and health-saving benefits that come along with the legalization and responsible use of marijuana. The criminalization of cannabis has a long history of detrimental effects that we have the ability to remedy by changing course and how we view the use of medicinal and recreational cannabis. According to economists D. Mark Anderson and Daniel I. Rees, studies have shown and concluded that legalizing cannabis products can have a positive impact on public health. Their paper that has been published by the National Bureau of Economic Research indicates that there are a few primary components that should be addressed in the consideration of marijuana legalization. Experts believe that there are three key factors that will be heavily impacted by the legalization of cannabis products: ● Tobacco usage ● Alcohol consumption ● Violent crime rates Although marijuana consumption is not void of its own consequences, it is important to consider the fact that the use of marijuana has never directly caused an illness leading to death. Tobacco, on the other hand, accounts for approximately 150,000 deaths in the United States each year. Studies have shown that the inhalation of tobacco products has a direct correlation to lung cancer, while marijuana has had no such proven effect. The goal here is to heavily reduce the habit of smoking cigarettes in favor of a less detrimental option such as smoking cannabis. The over-consumption of alcohol has long been a contributor in preventable deaths in the United States. Approximately 95,000 US citizens perish each year as a result of alcohol use. Studies are finding that there is a thirteen to fifteen percent decrease in alcohol consumption and related deaths in correlation with the legalization of marijuana in some areas. For many years, violent drug-related crime has been traced back to the criminalization of cannabis. Since legal dispensaries began opening up, we have seen a decrease of up to nineteen percent in violent crime rates including rape and theft. To aid in promoting the health benefits of legal cannabis, Hemp Inc. is working to provide widespread education on the medicinal benefits to marijuana use. Hemp Inc. has a variety of new medicinal products under their King of Hemp line to address a multitude of public health concerns that can be remedied in part with the use of cannabis products. The enterprise is working on a plan to construct display booths at all of the upcoming concerts and events at the Veteran Village Kins Communities. In addition to their display booths, Hemp Inc. will be making their King of Hemp line available at retail stores across America later this year. For those who prefer shopping online, King of Hemp products are currently available at NaturalExposureCBD.com. Included in the King of Hemp line are items such as Bubba Kush hemp, CBD pre-rolls, fortified CBD pre-rolls, CBD and CBG Caviar and Moon Rocks, as well as Diamonds, which are the only product on the market today that contain 96%-98.7% CBD. To learn more, go to the King of Hemp® website, here. According to Hemp Inc. executives, a distributor is selling a very limited number of signed Billy Hayes CBG pre-rolls as a collector’s item. Also available are CBD pre-rolls that are signed by Bruce Perlowin, and next in the series will be the Notorious Smith Brothers. Those items will be announced and sold at a later date. In addition to their pre-rolls, the King of Hemp line also includes tinctures that contain full-spectrum hemp oil that has been extracted from the flowers and leaves of sustainably sourced hemp plants. All King of Hemp products are compliant with the Colorado Department of Agriculture regulations and all CBD products contain 0.3% or less THC and are compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill. Those interested in King of Hemp® pre-rolls; hemp-derived CBD tinctures; Caviar; Diamonds; can visit www.kingofhempusa.com and email sales@kingofhempusa.com. WHAT IS HEMP, INC.? What is Hemp, Inc.?
