Last Saturday's SHOWTIME PPV® event headlined by Canelo Alvarez and Erislandy Lara will premiere on SHOWTIME this Saturday at 9 p.m. ET/PT, immediately followed by the premiere of ALL ACCESS: Canelo vs. Lara Epilogue.

The SHOWTIME premiere of Canelo vs. Lara will also include last Saturday's thrilling showdown between Juan Manuel Lopez and Francisco Vargas, which featured a Round of the Year candidate.

Canelo won a split decision at the sold-out MGM Grand, but the debate of who deserved the nod in the Mexico vs. Cuba showdown didn't end after ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. read the judges' scorecards.

"The fight felt as close as the numbers indicated."  - Chris Mannix, Sports Illustrated
