Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez believes he inflicted a broken cheek on Billy Joe Saunders during world title triumph in Texas

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez believes he inflicted a broken cheek on Billy Joe Saunders and had expected his British opponent to suffer a stoppage loss in Texas. The Mexican star unified the WBC, WBA and WBO super-middleweight titles after a brutal eighth-round assault suddenly ended the spirited resistance of Saunders, who was taken to hospital with a suspected fracture in his right eye socket.
