The only injury of minor note was a small nosebleed incurred by Chavez, which did not impact on the outcome of the bout. To win, Chavez needed to outjab Canelo from the outside while maintaining distance range. As soon as Canelo got inside on Chavez, the outcome of the bout was decided. Still, Canelo could not do anything significant with Chavez for the whole 12 rounds. The bout was not a Mexican war, but it was at least a high level competitive bout, with little holding.

	* In a super middleweight nontitle bout, Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez pitched at 12 round shutout of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. However, the bout has a number of interesting aspects to it. Chavez appeared bigger, taller, and had reach advantage, forcing Canelo to get inside to outwork him. Canelo did so, but remained cautiously throughout, doing enough to win each round but not taking unnecessary chances. The bout went around the ring in careful circles clockwise, as the fighters carefully chose their punches and tried to gain positional advantage. Canelo threw a few haymakers which missed, and tried to bait Chavez in while playing possum on the ropes several times, but Chavez did not fall for it. Canelo, cognizant of Chavez knocking down [[Sergio Gabriel Martinez]] late in the twelfth round when they fought for the world middleweight title, was careful not to the hard hitting Chavez any similar opportunity. Still, Chavez went the 12 round distance with Canelo at 164 pounds and was never in trouble at any time.
