Canelo Alvarez ended the unbeaten run of Austin Trout in 2013
By 2013, Canelo Alvarez had already built an incredibly impressive record on 41-0-1 with several defenses of the WBC-light middleweight title already under his belt.
After defeating Josesito Lopez and Shane Mosley in his recent outings, his return in April saw him accept an undefeated champion in a fight where he would add the Ring and WBA -light middleweight belts to his collection.
Austin Trout held the WBA regular light middleweight title with an unbeaten record of 26-0, which was previously the second to represent the United States at the 2004 Olympics.
Their matchup was ultimately more competitive than many expected, but this was not enough for trout to achieve a historical victory because he was defeated on all three score cards.
Towards the end of his boxing career, after he had also challenged both Jermall and Jermell Charlo for world titles, Trout would eventually compete in BKFC where he became unbeaten.
He was recently stripped of his welterweight title that previously defeated from UFC veteran Diego Sanchez and iconic Kale Knuckle Jager Luis Palomino.
