5/3/2025 DAZN: Saul Canelo Alvarez vs William Scull (Undisputed Super Middleweight Championship)

You hate Al Haymon because he’s black and you’ve been conditioned to hate yourself

Y’all pretend to hate Al Haymon for “ruining” boxing (by paying boxers what he felt they deserved), meanwhile I have yet to see a negative word about Turki who massively overpays fighters to stand there and look at each other all night. We know what time it is

Ad hominem attacks don’t do anything for your argument or lack there of.

That's cool and all...


But you're still retarded.

This has all the makings of that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr fight when they were simply waiting to make the Triple G match up and he walked in the ring after

This was a disgrace

 

[Bleed The Freak]

This is when you know people are biased boxing fans when they have a preference on who puts on a fight based upon the promoter

Every single promoter has put on trash fights and we're sitting here to speaking whether or not Al or Eddie Hearn is better.

Like seriously at this point who the hell cares?

 

[thaKEAF]

3 of these type fights happened in 1 weekend

How is this even possible

Turkey had them calling this weekend the superbowl of boxing

 

[Bleed The Freak]

One of the reasons a leech like Dana can even get into boxing in the first place because of moronic fans like y'all who keep having preferences for promoters

Bbbbbbuuutttt Al, Eddie, Bob, Frank. We saw first hand when dummies here started parroting that "side of the street" BS with Crawford when it came to PBC welterweights. Specifically Spence Jr.

How is this even possible

Turkey had them calling this weekend the superbowl of boxing

And the absolute worst part about it is nobody saw this coming

On paper it look like it was supposed to work

Yeah, if Bud fights similarly to Scull, he might drop Canelo, honestly. Canelo's foot speed and reaction time against quick, slippery fighters is a huge problem for him.

Buddy is a monster, but every legit boxer with stamina and quick feet has outboxed him. Even Plant looked great against him until he gassed out.

 

[Rev]

Let’s make sure Canelo gets a lot of the blame for that fake sparring session last night.

He always wants to blame the opponent for not engaging when this happens. Been watching him for 15 years.

Do your part, Mr. flat foot.

This article says it best

Terence Crawford is the opponent Canelo Alvarez -- and boxing fans -- need

After another less-than-exciting performance, Canelo Alvarez's next fight is finally what boxing fans deserve.

Yall tripping Scull is being an ass

We can’t let bias get in the way of reality this man ain’t even trying this is disgusting

Nikka didn't even try

, especially when the opponent is coming forward and making him miss more than 70% of his shots.

This is the key element for the discussion. That’s what Cubans do, they style, to their detriment in the pro ranks a lot of the time, it’s a different methodology to how you’re conceptualising what winning at boxing is.

Scull needed to exchange more to win that fight, there’s no doubt about it, but he would have tied the fight if he won just two more rounds, which was entirely possible if he committed just a little more.

Have another look at the fight if you can be bothered, he tagged Clenlos face off the ropes with some pretty elegant little counters, all fukking night. It’s not that evident to the naked eye in real time, but that’s high level sonning stuff, it’s just crowds want fists of fury stuff. I can guarantee you there’s a knowing nod between Scull and any gym he heads to with high level pros and coaches moving forward.

That’s what Cubans see as winning, you might not, most don’t, the judges saw it, but the older I get I appreciate it more than most aspects of boxing. The art of embarrassing the opponent with your evasiveness and counter and defence, anyone can punch hard, not many can dance and embarrass. I understand it’s an acquired taste.

Exactly.

Buddy is a monster, but every legit boxer with stamina and quick feet has outboxed him. Even Plant looked great against him until he gassed out.

He’s getting old too, he was entirely predictable in that fight, slow, and relies on the same tried and tested tricks the last dozen fights. (Walk em down, cut them off at the ropes, break them down and reset.) No jab, no back foot, just a bully blueprint that’s worked so well because he can land big shots and has great distance awareness. But when he’s out bullied he has no plan b (see Bivol), and as Scull showed, he gets hit clean to the dome if he overreaches and is open for the return.

fukk it, Crawford by KO with the check hook counter. Heard it here first.

If not Crawford out on a stretcher maybe, either or lol.

Crawford looked bigger in the face to face though, that was something.

Scull beat that boi, you know he did

You don't beat the champ by running and pop shotting him.

exactly..you have to hurt the champion..you gotta fight to take his title..im really failing to understand why that concept is being diluted in today's boxing to potshots and excessive movement
