LAS VEGAS, Nevada - Saul "Canelo" Alvarez kept his WBC super welterweight title Saturday by knocking challenger Josesito Lopez down three times before stopping him late in the fifth round at the MGM Grand Hotel.
Mexico's Alvarez had Lopez bleeding from both the nose and mouth as referee Joe Cortez stopped the one-sided fight with five seconds remaining in the fifth round.
The 22-year-old Alvarez, who is notable for his red hair, freckles and thunderous punching power, made his fifth title defence against a gritty but overmatched American opponent.
