Canelo Statistics

GITNUXREPORT 2026

Canelo Statistics

With 57% of his bouts ending in KO or TKO and a perfect 9-0 record in world title fights scheduled for 12 rounds or fewer, Canelo’s finishing power is matched by a rare judges’ oddity where only 1% of cards called his 2023 bouts as draws. Then there’s the scale of impact, from Mexican Netflix demand and 40 million plus 2024 fight day reach to the business gravity of DAZN and North America’s boxing revenue, all tracking how one fighter can reshape both scorecards and the market.
