Thread: Canelo Alvarez vs William Scull

CANELO ALVAREZ will be desperate to add the final jewel to the crown and become the undisputed super-middleweight champion once again - but Cuban superstar William Scull stands in his way.

Boxing icon Canelo was forced to vacate his IBF title after failing to fulfill a mandatory defence obligation against Scull.

And as a result, Scull inherited the belt by beating the number two-ranked contender, Vladimir Shishkin, with a unanimous decision victory in October 2024.

As for Canelo, the Mexican superstar opted to go toe-to-toe with rival Edgar Berlanga a month earlier in Las Vegas.

Pure heart and determination helped the boxing mogul retain his unified titles by a unanimous decision of 117-110, 118-109 and 118-109, handing Berlanga his first career defeat in the process.

Now going full circle, Canelo has the chance to collect the final piece to his puzzle and reaffirm his status as one of the century’s greatest pound-for-pound fighters.

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs William Scull (undisputed super-middleweight titles)
Bruno Surace vs Jaime Munguia (super-middleweight)
Martin Bakole vs Efe Ajagba (heavyweight)
Badou Jack (champion) vs Ryan Rozicki (WBC cruiserweight title)
Marco Verde vs Michel Polina (middleweight)
Brayan Leon vs Aaron Guerrero (middleweight)

Saying "William Scull stands in his way" almost makes it sound like it's a real challenge. A competitive fight.
Meanwhile, the elephant in the room was ignored for so long that the elephant moved on... and people's short-term memory is beginning to fade, and revert back to idol worship. No worries. I'll always be around to remind everyone...

Nigel Benn said Conor beat Scull in sparring which is not a good sign for him.

Bakole weighs near 300 lb so way out of condition again. No excuses this time.

Nigel wears rose tinted glasses when it comes to his son. Lets see how good Scull is, never heard of him either.

stylistically william is terrible for canelo

Zzzzzzzzz

Scull running for dear life and barely throwing.
Canelo having his worst performance in at least a decade and barely throwing.

Horrible fight.

9 rounds in and I don't even care who wins at this point.

I just want this over with.

Turki not getting good value for money so far with these fights over the last few days.

Scull ran for 12 rounds.


Glad Badou Jack won, he is an amazing fighter that keeps on going.

Glad Riakpore is active and buzy after being messed about by Okolie.

Mungia got his revenge but he will never live his knockout defeat down the first time.

Bakole looked like he should have got the decision but ended up a draw.

Yeah, baby. Let's just keep on adding to that legacy.

hopefully naoya will score a highlight reel kayo

williams punches were landing on gloves or short but like i said a terrible style for canelo

i thought the bado v norair fight was extremely close & hard to score. i had norair winning. maybe they're setting up badou to cash in against canelo

i thought efe won

This was a terribly boring fight. Worse fight I have ever seen Canelo in. It was that bad.

ring magazine's youtube channel has the fight if anyone can brave watching it
