Canelo wanted to win the light-heavyweight world title for the second consecutive time, after beating Sergey Kovalev, WBO champion in 2019.
He was defeated, however, and was unable extend his 16-fight undefeated streak.
Canelo looked much beefier in photos taken while working out in the gym.
He moved up from super-middleweight, where he defeated Avni Yildirim and Billy Joe Saunders last year.

Canelo had intended to fight Gennady Gorlovkin in a highly anticipated trilogy fight in September, but that was canceled by the loss.
In 2017, the pair fought to a draw - many believed Golovkin won.
The two teams matched again the next year, and Alvarez won the victory by majority decision.
Alvarez, 32-year-old, and Golovkin, 40 years old, have separated. Joel Diaz, the Kazakh's trainer, accused Canelo, of waiting for his man get old.
Fight Hub TV's Diaz, Golovkin's coach, said that he had already seen the first and second versions.
"If you ask me directly what I think and want to hear it unfiltered, what are you waiting for? It has been four years.
"They waited for him get old. "What for?"
