Slick and quick Canelo unifies middleweight crowns

LAS VEGAS - Mexico's Saul "Canelo" Alvarez unified boxing's 160-pound division on Saturday, pounding out a unanimous decision over Daniel Jacobs in a fight that pitted two of the world's top middleweights, with three world titles on the line.

Alvarez kept his World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association titles and seized Jacobs' International Boxing Federation belt in a bout that marked the Mexican's return to the middleweight ranks.

"It was just what we thought it would be," said Alvarez, who became the first Mexican to hold three major titles in a single division.
