	Alvarez showed tremendous versatility with his punches. He landed combinations and fired right hands to the body followed by uppercuts that Smith had no answer for. If Alvarez's hand was hurt, it did not look that way with the steam he had on those shots. Even when Smith did connect, Alvarez was right there to answer, usually with something harder.

	*"I told you I was going to give you a great fight and bring you the championship, and here it is," Alvarez told the adoring crowd.

			ARLINGTON, Texas -- Most boxing fans would have preferred to see lineal middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez fight fearsome unified titleholder Gennady Golovkin in what many believe would be boxing's biggest fight, but Alvarez and his team had a different plan.

			Instead, Alvarez returned to the junior middleweight division, where he once unified belts, to challenge world titleholder Liam Smith. In the end, it was as big of a mismatch as most expected as Alvarez won another 154-pound world title on Saturday night at AT&T Stadium.

			Smith was game, but he was no match for the bigger, faster, more powerful Alvarez, who knocked him down three times, including with a brutal left hook to the body that finished him in the ninth round.

			The pro-Alvarez crowd of 51,240 -- besting the total of 50,994 that Manny Pacquiao drew for the first fight in stadium history against Joshua Clottey in 2010 -- had come to celebrate Mexican Independence Day weekend at the home of the Dallas Cowboys, and Alvarez gave them the power show they expected.

			Even with one healthy hand, Alvarez dished out a beating on England's Smith, who was making his third title defense and fighting in the United States for the first time. He was also facing his first top opponent and found out Alvarez was on a different level.

			Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs), 26, got off to a good start in the opening round, which was fast paced. He measured Smith (23-1-1, 13 KOs) with hard jabs and worked the body without taking much in return. He continued to attack Smith with more body shots and right hands in the second round. Smith did not look nearly as physically strong as Alvarez, who threw a lot of combinations.

			Alvarez showed tremendous versatility with his punches. He landed combinations and fired right hands to the body followed by uppercuts that Smith had no answer for. If Alvarez's hand was hurt, it did not look that way with the steam he had on those shots. Even when Smith did connect, Alvarez was right there to answer, usually with something harder.

			Alvarez opened a cut in the corner of Smith's right eye in the fifth round, which ended in a spirited exchange, after which Smith shoved Alvarez at the bell and smiled at him.

			But Smith was getting beaten up, and Alvarez continued to land combinations in the sixth round as Smith's eye got worse and worse. Midway through the seventh round, Alvarez put together a combination, including a left to the body and a right hand to the side of the head, that dropped Smith near the corner. He made it to his feet quickly but absorbed punishment in the round. Alvarez continued to pound the game Smith to the body and head in the eighth round of what had become a big-time mismatch.

			Alvarez dropped him for the second time in the eighth round with a crunching left hook to the body late in the round. There was no quit in Smith, but Alvarez was just too powerful and accurate for him to deal with. It looked like a matter of time before Alvarez would get the knockout.

			It came in the ninth round, when Alvarez landed a brutal left hook to the body. He sunk it in hard, and Smith dropped to the mat in agony. As Smith was writhing in pain, referee Luis Pabon waved off the fight without a count at 2 minutes, 28 seconds as the crowd went wild.
