    Mosley's speed is gone.

    If he had any of it left, this would have been a helluva fight. As it is, he just can't keep up. He's landing, but without snap and sharpness, no damage is being done, and Alvarez has the youth to get the better of a lions share of these exchanges all day.

    Alvarez has a paper title, but in many ways, he's still a developing contender. His defense needs a ton of work, as do his feet.

    We won't see him take on a relevant opponent for another 2 or 3 fights, methinks.

    Canelo doesn't blow me away at all. Mosley just way past it. Sad.

    Round 12

    Jabs by Alvarez. Mosley presses in, and gets dinged with a rising left hook. Straight left jabs by Alvarez. They punch together, landing right hands. Mosley is knocked back a step, while Alvarez is only made to lean back. Big left uppercut by Alvarez, hitting shoulder. Jab and right to the face by Alvarez. Mosley pushes in against Canelo. Body shots by Mosley, burying his chin to his chest and plugging away. Alvarez gets his right arm grabbed after throwing it, and is countered with a jab. Right hand by Mosley! Big shots traded, toe to toe! Right hands! Mosley jabs the body! Uppercuts and hooks by Alvarez!! Right hand by Mosley!! Big wide hook by Alvarez, missing. Left hook to the body by Mosley, maybe the last one of his career! Big left hook to the face by Alvarez leaping in, and a lunging right hand. Right hand lead by Mosley. Jabs to the face by Alvarez. Uppercut by Mosley!!

    10-9 Mosley (kind of a pity round, but come on - he went ALL OUT)

    118-110 Alvarez

    Incredible what Mosley did that in there tonight. Gave it all, didn't go down or out... what a performance.

    Good fight! I think Canelo stepped of the gas after the punishing R9 and carried Suga. Won all but 1 round.

    Lederman has 119-109 for Alvarez.

    He gave Mosley the first.

    Canelos a strong offensive fighter but He gets hit so damn much He might be worn down in a couple years. Hes getting hit with flicked jabs with his guard up.
