Rayada, Saudi Arabia – Canilo Alvarez beat William School in a unanimous decision on Sunday to become a very medium weight hero again.
Alvarez is the world champion of four weight and entered the battle with WBA, WBC and WBO titles at a price of 168 pounds.
He was stripped of the IBF belt last July when he refused to provide a mandatory defense against Scull. He had this title since November 2021 when he was defeated by Calblal Planet.
Alvarez has become an undisputed bilateral list in the department for the second time that the judges recorded 115-113, 116-112, 119-109.
The 34-year-old Mexican champion improved to 63-2-2, with 39 knockouts, and he was not defeated in 10 battles in the medium weight category.
The battle against the IBF Scull hero did not rise to the noise level. Scull, born in Cuba, entered into 23 professional battle. He moved constantly around him, evaded, mixed and frustrated Alvarez, who later said he hated fighting this style of boxer.
Moments after the decision was announced, the proposed September 12 would be promoted between Alvarez and Tyrins Cruford, where the two men face each other in the ring.
Alvarez was fighting outside the United States or Mexico for the first time and had to make many modifications, including the time zone.
The fighters entered the ring and the hymn started at about 6:20 am local time (11:20 pm Eastern time on Saturday) for the main match in his head, as it was at the time of the peak on the American West Coast.
The opening rounds were slow, with both boxers felt the scope and density that was gradually raised, with many punches, but did not land enough.
On the contrary, Alvarez remained patient and was a drop body. In the end, Alvarez threw nearly half of the punches like Scull (152-293), but another one fell (56-55), mostly energy footage of the body.
“It's okay, we won. We are here with the title as a champion,” Alvarez said. “I am a hero. I am a professional, so everything, no excuse or anything.”
As for the confrontation of September against Croford, who will intensify weight to take over Alvarez?
He said: “I feel good. Cruford is one of the best players there, as you know, I love sharing the circuit with this type of fighter.” “It is a pleasure.”
Cruford in the crowd was watching in the Saudi capital.
He said, “I feel comfortable. I feel blessed. Things happen for some reason, and there is a reason that makes me here.” “In September, I showed the world how greatness looks.”
