Alvarez outclassed his opponent and cruised to a comfortable decision win. With the victory, the Mexican superstar also proved Jake Paul's prediction wrong.

Before the fight, Betr had uploaded a video to their YouTube channel where Paul made his pick for the contest. The YouTuber-turned-boxer predicted 'Iron Man' to get his hand raised.

"Man, I'm excited, but I gotta go with the underdog. I think Charlo's gonna win. Canelo's kind of looked aged in his past couple of fights. Charlo's a dog.

"History's on the line. He has the opportunity to become a two-weight undisputed champion. Going with Charlo."

In another video, Paul added that Charlo would knock Canelo Alvarez out in the ninth round of the fight.

"I got Charlo TKO ninth round."
