ARLINGTON, Texas -- Whatever Canelo Alvarez was going to do on Saturday night, it was going to be done loudly.
Noise begat noise. When Alvarez started to hit Billy Joe Saunders in the eighth round of their super middleweight bout, Alvarez raised his gloves and egged on a record-breaking crowd that was mostly at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, to watch the Mexican superstar. Saunders wouldn't make it to the start of Round 9.
When middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade crashed his press conference and demanded a fight, Alvarez wasn't going to be quiet at that moment, either.
