Canelo Alvarez, WBC Super Welterweight Champion
I want to thank my great team for all the great work and Mosley for giving me the experience. I learned a lot from tonight’s fight. It’s is the first time that I got cut and learned a lot from it. I told myself not to worry about it and that is also what I told my team.
“Yes I’m definitely ready to fight on a higher level. I’m ready for the best. I’ve gained a lot of experience tonight and I am ready to fight bigger fighters.
“I felt I had a great performance. Mosley is an experienced fighter. I know him very well and I followed his career.
“That was the game plan. I had to be calm and take my time and that is exactly what I did.
“I would like to fight one of the two main fighters, Mayweather or Cotto. This is what I deserve the most.
“I wasn’t surprised that Shane was able to take my punches.
“The next fight, you will see a better Canelo and a more experience Canelo. I am ready.”
As in September, I once again ran out of gas in the 10th & 11th championship rounds of October & November with this column, but I recovered to complete them and will unleash a few more flurries to close out the 12th and final round.
In the first week of October, Hassan N’Dam won a UD over Curtis Stevens in an eliminator for the right to challenge Jermaine Taylor who defeated aging Sam Soliman to regain the IBF Middleweight title. How Taylor even earned this title shot is another story altogether, but it is all irrelevant as he is now the champion. However he will not have too much time to savor his victory as he has assault and battery charges pending against him and an upcoming court fight that may turn out to be the toughest fight of his life, just when things started to look up for him in boxing, we wish him luck.
