Canelo Alvarez started at the last press conference in a tranquil mood today for his 168 -pound undisputed championship fight against William Scull, but it seemed like he lost his temper when reminiscent of his fight in the past against Cuban fighter Erislandy Lara.
Canelo’s temper
Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 COs) looked angry and told the moderator that he was now another fighter than the one who fought Lara. Many boxing fans believed that Canelo would get a decision against Lara. He made himself look bad by not cleaning up the controversy by giving Lara a rematch, who confirmed in the minds of fans that he knew that the Cuban had beaten him.
Scull is not at the level of Lara in terms of skills, but he has more than enough to take advantage of Canelo’s age and his weakening ability. The real question is whether the judges will give the same treatment as they gave Lara in 2014. You can’t exclude it. The Canelo against Terence Crawford match in October can be infected if Alvarez comes under a dark cloud of controversy.
Eddy Reynoso: “He’s 34, but he’s in a better shape than some fighters who are 20,” said coach Eddy Reynoso during today’s Final press conferenceAnd speak that Canelo Alvarez is younger than his chronological era in his undisputed super -middleweight championship fight against IBF champion William Scull Saturday night in Riyadh.
“He is an example from the inside and out. So, if you ask me why he is at the top of his game, it is the discipline he shows. What we should do on Saturday is the Mexican school on Scull. William Scull is a wonderful fighter, and he comes from a large Cuban boxing school. We come on Saturday to win. Crawford.
Reynoso cannot be taken seriously and says that Canelo is now in a better form than fighters in their 20s. His heart is weak compared to even older fighters. At this stage in Alvarez’s career, he is only able to fight hard for three to four rounds. He is fighting on fumes from the fifth round, and he only wins now because he has stopped fighting quality opposition after his loss of Dmitri Biscvol in 2022.
Belief in the ‘yes, you can’
William Scull: “I really don’t care what people say. I go into this struggle to show: ‘Yes, you can. ‘
Canelo Alvarez: “I expect it to be a little difficult in the beginning, but I’m another Canelo now (of the one who fought Cuban Erislandy Lara in 2014), and he will feel it on Saturday. He says he’s going to eat me, but the only thing he’s going to eat is it (keep right first).
