If I were to describe this fight in one word, it should be "Overpowered". Clearly after the smoke clears, one fighter appears to be not as the same class as the other.
WBC super welterweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (39-0-1, 29 KOs) scored a fifth round TKO over former world champion Kermit Cintron (33-5-1, 28 KOs) on Saturday night at the Plaza Mexico in Mexico City. Good performance by Alvarez, who dropped Cintron with a right hand in round four and Cintron barely made it back to his corner after the bell. The bout was stopped by referee Hector Afu after more power shots in round five. Time was 2:53. Alvarez dominated the whole fight and the end of round number four, all three judges had the fight 40-35 on the cards.

With the win Alvarez improves his record to 39-0 with 29 knockouts and
during a post-fight interview with HBO’s Max Kellerman he called out
undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. for a May clash. Alvarez insisted a
fight with Floyd isn’t about the money and that he is instead looking to
test himself against the best in the world. Mayweather's advisor Leonard Ellerbe recently announced that Floyd was
eyeing a May 5th return and Alvarez surely is one of the more
high-profile opponents lurking around.
