CANELO Alvarez knocked out Liam Smith and called out Gennady Golovkin.
The Mexican stopped Briton Smith in the ninth round on Saturday night after dropping him in the previous two rounds, winning the WBO light middleweight championship before a record crowd of 51,240 at AT&T Stadium, the home of the NFL Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas. The victory kept the 26-year-old Alvarez (48-1-1) on pace for a showdown with undefeated, unified middleweight champion Golovkin that is expected be held by September 2017, according to Alvarez promoter Oscar De La Hoya. Golovkin is a 34-year-old based in Santa Monica, California, and the Kazakhstan native has said he wants the fight as soon as possible. Signals have been mixed from the Alvarez camp whether he was waiting to better negotiating terms. Smith fell to 23-1 with one draw and 13 knockouts. The Merseysider had won 18 fights in a row over six years.
