Canelo’s Win Over Scull Sparks Boxing Debate

Canelo Alvarez's unanimous decision victory over William Scull on May 3 drew criticism from fans and experts due to the fight's record-low activity, with only 445 punches thrown in total. WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman and Oscar De La Hoya voiced disappointment, while former champion Amir Khan controversially argued that Scull deserved the win based on his movement and clean shots. Scull defended his defensive approach, claiming he lost 'without receiving any blows,' but Canelo insisted passive strategies cannot win fights. The lackluster bout has shifted perceptions ahead of Canelo's September super middleweight showdown with Terence Crawford. Analyst Bozy Ennis now considers the fight a 50/50 contest and highlighted how Crawford's movement and boxing skills could trouble Canelo. The boxing community remains divided on who will emerge victorious in the anticipated clash.
