Saul Canelo Alvarez recently unified the super middleweight world boxing titles after an eighth-round stoppage of Billy Joe Saunders in their super-fight over the weekend.
Aside from his spectacular in-ring showing, one of the noticeable elements of the bout held in front of a record crowd at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas from Alvarez s side was his elegant and stylish fight-worn trunks.
Silva ended his MMA career last October, losing to Uriah Hall in a fourth-round TKO. Shortly after, Silva asked the UFC to release him so that he could pursue other combat sports. The organization honored his request, which left many speculating that we would see him in the cage again for another promotion.
However, Silva instead decided to pursue boxing with an upcoming fight scheduled against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. later this year. The move surprised the MMA world, with many questioning what would be next for the aging great. In a recent interview with ESPN, Silva confirmed that he will not be returning to MMA but will pursue other forms of combat sports. (H/T ESPN.com)
