Renomist Saul “Canelo” Alvarez won on Sunday in Riyadh (Saturday, Quebec Hour) a flavorless fight, which several observers qualified as appalling, against Cuban William Scull, which should not overly impress Christian Mbilli.

The Mexican won unanimously from the judges to recover the IBF title of the super-media he had abandoned last year, refusing to fight his official aspirant. The winner also has WBC, WBA and WBO belts.
Scull cashed his first defeat and did not impress anyone by refusing to exchange long with his opponent. He was particularly fleeting, with an effective leg of legs, but without counterattack.
“I don’t like to box this kind of guy, they just come to survive. A boxer who does not try to win, who just wants to survive, I hate this kind of fighter, “said” Canelo “in the ring after the fight.
The winner now has an appointment with the American Terence Crawford, champion of super care, for a fight in Las Vegas on September 12.
“Crawford is one of the best, it’s going to be a pleasure,” added the Mexican.
For its part, the Mbilli clan has been demanding a fight with Alvarez for several months. The Frenchman will fight with the Polish Maciej Sulecki at the Videotron Center on June 27 for the interim wreath of the WBC super-media. A victory for this event of his promoter Eye of the Tiger Management would earn him the status of compulsory aspirant in “Canelo”.
