Nice to see a large live crowd at a big fight again.  Been awhile...

That Soto stoppage was bogus.  Takayama deserved to finish the fight.  Laurence Cole has been an inconsistently (bad) ref for many years.

Like you predicted, Main Event unfolded as suspected.  BJS is not in Canelo’s class.  But not a bum.  Gave Canelo some work with educated punching and angles, but lacked the firepower to slow Alvarez down.  Canelo broke Saunders down to the body early and was angling to close the show down the stretch before the corner stopped it.  Nice uppercut that broke BJS’ cheek - Canelo was waiting for it.

If PBC let’s Plant fight Canelo in Sept (not so sure Al will), I suspect we‘ll see a similar result.  Same with Boo Boo (made for a better show in the post fight presser than I suspect he would in the ring).  I think the most formidable challenger for Canelo at 168 is Benevidez (although not the biggest $ fight and I’d still favor Alvarez).  Maybe Hearn can push GGG up to 168 for a trilogy.  Maybe Bivol down to 168.  Anyway, I respect that Canelo fights often (3x in the last six months).  More than the so-called other P4P superstars do.
