The knockdown slowed Munguia down considerably. It was clear that he didn't want Canelo to counter him, but he didn't have enough punching power to give the champion problems. There were times when Munguia would overcommit in hopes of trying something, but he'd often get clipped by a counter.

There was also a clear difference between Canelo's landed punches and Munguia's. Alvarez simply had the significant advantage in punching power. Nonetheless, Munguia was tough and despite eating some significant power punches, he ended up going the distance.
