Canelo Alvarez insists on 100% marked in ‘In William Scull, he discards Terence Crawford Mega-Fight Talk until after May 3

Canelo Álvarez refuses to look beyond his helpless opponent, the super medium weight champion of the FIB William Scull, towards the Mega fight against Terence Crawford in September. The WBC champion, the WBR and the WBO, Canelo (62-2-2, 39 kos) said today, “100%”marked in the fight against Scull (23-0, 9 kos) on May 3 at the place of Riad, Saudi Arabia.

Unwanted fight

It has to be annoying for Canelo because fans want to hear more about Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) than about Scull. They do not qualify the Cuban fighter, and come to this type in the same line as Álvarez’s last opponent, Edgar Berlanga, who had zero for him other than the cruise weight size.

Scull is not the ideal fighter to help generate interest in Canelo’s match against Crawford. I needed Osleys Iglesias, Diego Pacheco, Janibek Alimkhanuly, or Christian Mbilli. Even Jake Paul would be preferable to Scull.

The problem with Jake is that the interest that the fight would brought would eclipse what Canelo vs. would do. Crawford. Bud is not popular outside the ultra hardcore boxing fan. Informal houses do not know who Crawford, 37, and regular fans who are not boxing have never heard of him.

The Canelo-Sock billboard is still filled. Currently, the only fight in the billboard is the heavyweight clash between Martin Bakole and Efe Ajagba. With luck, Turki Alalshikh can get some additional fights that motivate fans to want to buy the event. Canelo’s fight against Scull is not a large enough attraction to attract fans to buy the PPV event.

“First is May, and I don’t see any other fighter there,” Canelo Álvarez said Hot 97 On who plans to fight after his struggle on May 3 against William Scull. “So, I am 100% focused on William Scull because he is a good fighter, he is a champion for a reason, and I need to beat him first to see other fights.

“My approach is 100%in it, and then we will see. I am here for another promotion for a fight, and I am excited about what is coming. All my career was here in the United States, and now I will experience something different and motivate myself because it is something new, “Canelo said about the fight in Riad, Saudi Arabia.
