This will be the first battle of Canelo’s profitable four-game agreement for the Riyadh season of Turki al-Sheikh. It also sets up Canelo’s next match against the 154-pound Terence Crawford on September 13.
Unparalleled championship
The Cuba-born Scull, 29, is a fighter who chose Canelo not to fight recently, which cost him his IBF belt. Scull then won and beat the IBF title Vladimir Shishkin Last October in Germany. Now Alvarez will be looking for the IBF belt to go into the Crawford match with four titles rather than just one.
Scull’s victory over Shiskhin was questionable because he was working out in that battle and seemed to lose. Even if you were one of the supporters who thought Scull deserved victory, there was no question of the fact that he looked like a fighter below the average that would be against the recent opponents of Canelo, Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia, would do not lose.
These are superficial things that only the ultra-hard box fans will pay attention to. The average fan would not care how many titles Canelo has in his possession for the Crawford match. Those who love Canelof fighting against 38-year-old Nebraska native would love to see them fighting, even for no belts.
It would be better for the average fans worldwide as Canelo used the first battle of his four-match agreement with Turki to encounter someone they heard respected, and insisted on fighting. Fans want David Banavidez as his next opponent, not the little famous Scull, who only those who follow the box carefully, have ever heard. Scull is a complete unknown for everyone in the world.
