“Pay so much, dare so little”: Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz Slams Canelo Alvarez and William Scull for uninspired Cinco de Mayo Clash

Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz says it was “Shame” The way WBA, WBC and WBO Super Middleweeight Champion Canelo Alvarez fought last Saturday in his fight against IBF champion William Scull in Riyadh.

He says that after Canelo got ‘Pay so much money,“And then no risks took,” it was a bad look. The fight was on Cinco de Mayo Holiday, and many Mexican fans bought the event on Dazn ppvJust to let Alvarez refuse to get involved. Canelo reportedly received $ 80 million for the Scull Fight.

“Shame” attempt

Scull (23-1, 9 COs) was even worse. Lewkowicz mentions that Cuban Scull needs David Morrell’s courage because he lost with “dignity” by fighting hard against David Banavidez.

Canelo threw only 152 strokes throughout the 12-round battle against Scull, Landing 56. Scull threw 293 and connected to 55 of it. It is bad enough that Alvarez chose Scull if the man he wanted to fight, but to show no effort, it was weak.

Fans say Canelo stole their money without debt. He claims he wanted to entertain his Mexican fans, but his actions say differently. With the $ 80 million Alvarez got for the fight, he should have taken some risks to earn the dough.

“Look, if you pay so much money, you should take some risks. Canelo did not want to take a risk, and the other (William Scull) guy. You know, the Cuban school. He damaged all the Cubans, ‘said the promoter Sampson Lewkowicz Pro Boxing fans About the poor effort by Canelo Alvarez in his victory over William Scull last Saturday night in Riyadh.

Since his battle with Dmitri Biscvol on May 7, 2022, Canelo has taken no risks in years. Every fight since then has been a cherry for him. The Biblical battle was supposed to be easy for him, but he didn’t realize how good he was.

“We have a problem with others running, and I believe everything has changed,” Sampson said. “I wish someone would take the balls of (Cuban David) Morrell, because Morrell (against David Banavidez) lost with dignity. This man (scull) lost with shame. ‘

Scull has never fought with bravery like Cuban David Morrell. He was not a competent Cuban amateur like Morrell. Scull had a short amateur career and did not come from the same background as Morrell to change pro with high expectations. Scull is just a German fighter who happens to be Cuban.

Never taken a risk

“Canelo did not participate in the fight. He never took a risk, and it is also shameful to him,” Lewkowicz said. “And in addition, you now know the reason why Benavidez wasn’t so nice, and he talked so much, and his father too. But it was a good excuse for Canelo (to avoid) because he couldn’t fight. He is unable to fight benavidez. This is the truth.

“No, I didn’t talk to David (or watched the Canelo-Scull battle). He probably fell asleep. He probably fell asleep. I don’t believe he saw the fight. I fell asleep. ‘

Canelo-Scull Fight was very boring. You wonder what Turki Alalshikh thought to look at the fight as he paid Canelo all the money. If Canelo does not bother against a non-puncher like Scull, what do you think he will do against Terence Crawford on September 12?

“David (benavidez) will fight in September or October. I discussed Cinco de Mayo in the T-Mobile in Las Vegas in 2026. I asked Alalshikh if ​​we could do the winner (from Artur Bererbiev against Dmitri Biblical 2) and united the right champions. That’s what we want,” Lewkowicz said.
