Mexican star Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-1-1, 31KOs) was not overly impressed with Floyd Mayweather's twelve round decision win in his rematch with Marcos Maidana on September 13th.

Last September, Canelo suffered his first career defeat when he lost a twelve round majority decision to Mayweather (47-0, 26KOs) at catch-weight of 152-pounds.

Mayweather holds the WBC/WBA world titles at 147 and 154-pounds.

"As far as the fight, what can I say? He kept running the whole night. He didn't really want to engage or take any risks," Canelo said.

On Tuesday, Canelo announced that he officially left Showtime to sign a long term deal with rival network HBO. Mayweather has an exclusive contract with Showtime and regularly reserved the lucrative pay-per-view dates in May [Cinco De Mayo] and September [Mexican Independence Day]. Because they both fought on the same network, Mayweather was always able to step ahead of Canelo to snatch up the dates.

Now that Canelo is aligned with HBO, he will refuse to step away from those dates.

"I don't care who [else] fights on those dates. Those are my dates. Those are Mexican dates. I want to fight on those dates," Canelo said.
