More than 73,000 people were in attendance for the highly-anticipated fight, which began with Saunders exploding out of the blocks with a ton of energy, but failing to land a scoring shot.
Alvarez was temporarily suspended by the NSAC after testing positive for banned substance clenbuterol in February, and withdrew from his rematch against world middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, which was scheduled for May 5.
