    watched this Telemundo fight from last night earlier today...didn't see a recap on front page
    did see one at fightnews.com
    "Alvarez hammers Martinez!
    Undefeated 17-year-old welterweight Saul "El Canelo" Alvarez (26-0-1, 23 KOs) continued to impress as he stopped previously unbeaten Gabriel "El Rey" Martinez (17-1-1, 9 KOs) in eleven rounds to claim the WBA FEDECENTRO welterweight title on Friday night Chiquita Gonzalez' Salón Marbet Plus in Ciudad Neza, Mexico. Alvarez showed skill beyond his years as he brutally battered the 20-year-old Martinez, who didn't come out for round twelve."

    I wasn't watching too closely, but both guys seemed quite good to me. Alvarez really started getting to him late.
    Reason I'm posting this is because of Alavarez's age.
    He seemed way better than a 17 year old should and is worth keeping an eye on.
    Boxrec has him losing a fight unlike the telecast. But it was shown as being over two years ago.
