Canelo became annoyed today when he said that IBF super -mid -weight champion William Scull said he was delayed late in his career, and that he was just passing by with his famous name. The Mexican star said Scull (23-0, 9 COs) ‘will feel what it’s’ to be in the ring with him on Saturday night.
WBA, WBC, and WBO 168-Pond Champion Canelo (62-2-2, 39 COs) are fighting the unbeaten scull for the undisputed super-middleweight championship on Saturday, May 3, Live on dazn PPV on the venue in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Alvarez wants to collect Scull’s IBF title with him, so he can be a four-champion champion a second time and have the straps in his possession when he faces Terence Crawford in October.
Focused on scull
“It’s one of my dreams to fight in another country, and now I’m close to doing it,” Canelo Alvarez said Fight Hub TV About battles in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, against William Scull this Saturday. “I watched some of his (Scull) battles. He is a difficult fighter but nothing new to me. ‘
The indigenous Canelo in Mexico has technically fought in another country, given its numerous fights in the US, but he doesn’t seem to be considering it in a separate region.
“I don’t have a battle in the future. I just got my fight against William Scull and that’s it. I’m 100% focused on the fight because I’ve been in this position a lot, ‘said Canelo when asked if it was difficult for him to stay focused on Scull if he had a big match against Terence Crawford, arrived in October.
This is a good idea for Canelo not to look past Scull because he stopped in his last few fights after four rounds. If he fades against Scull early, the Cuban could hold him in the last 7 to 9 rounds to win a decision.
Alvarez’s power remains elite, but his work rate drops to the fourth round to near zero, allowing fewer fighters to win rounds. We saw that in Canelo’s last two fights against Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia. Both are manufactured hype jobs, but they still won rounds because of the 34-year-old Canelo who is slowing down.
“When I fight, they always ask me about another battle. Nothing new to me. The difference is another country because I have fought every style, every fight and nothing new for me, ‘Canelo said of what his thoughts are about the fight against the Cuban sculpture.
Canelo has seen every style, but he can now be surpassed. That’s what she can be undone to Scull. The Cuban will work hard the whole battle, and he could possibly pull out a dismay.
The provocation
“My challenge is now to adapt (adapt) to this country and that’s it. I always practice 100%. I like to be confident about my training camp. He’s going to feel on Saturday,” Canelo said when Scull said he was delayed and with just his name late in his career.
“I don’t want to say much, but he’s going to feel something else on Saturday. You will see on Saturday night how (it is) fighting a big fighter. Just wait a bit.
“I can play golf, but he can’t play boxing,” Canelo says of Tiger Woods.
