Alvarez Passes Test, Dominates Mosley May 8th 2012, 11:58 Saul "Canelo" Alvarez retained his WBC super welterweight title with a lopsided twelve round unanimous decision over 40-year-old former champ Shane Mosley. An accidental clash of heads opened a cut over the left eye of Alvarez in round three, but Mosley simply did not have enough left in the tank to test his younger opponent. Alvarez, 21, pounded Mosley but could never put him down. Scores were 118-110 and 119-109 twice. Alvarez landed 348 of 673 punches (52%) -- the most punches landed on Mosley in 34 fights tracked by CompuBox. Mosley was only able to land 183 of 745 punches (25%). Next up for Alvarez may be a Sept. 15 bout with James Kirkland. Next up for Mosley - winless in his last four (0-3-1) - should be retirement as he is no longer competitive at an elite level. His toughness and ability to take a punch - tremendous assets in a younger fighter - now put him in danger of taking excessive punishment if he elects to continue his ring career.
