Saul Canelo Alvarez and some of the world’s finest boxers failed to deliver a decent round of action in four fights, during two nights in two cities over the long weekend.
Alvarez looked old at times, slow at times, bored at times – but was never in any danger of losing his full undisputed world title fight against William Scull at super-middleweight. Scull moved and jabbed and then just kept on moving; he was there to survive and, amazingly, he entered the ring as a world champion. Both were poor.
