Bout Summary
In Round 2, a small cut developed in the corner of Alvarez's left eye that would eventually stream down the side of his face in the second half of the bout. A straight right hand at 1:20 of Round 5 sent Alvarez to the mat. He was up quickly and received the mandatory eight-count. Alvarez was ruled down for a second time when again a straight right hand at the end of the 8th Round caused his right glove to touch the mat.
