    5-2 Canelo. Not there’s any need to score this. I’m about to flip over 100% to UFC.

    First up - this is a dreadful, dreadful fight.

    Second - the comms are atrocious. Canelo didn’t land one punch that round, and Scull landed maybe 5. Not many more - but exponentially more than Canelo. And they were just talking smack about Scull the whole time

    Scull was peppering in backfoot counter pot shots in the first five rounds (mostly jabs up top and rights on the body) but has eased off from his already anemic pace in the 6th and 7th. Basically just jogging away now, making Canelo clomp along chasing chem-trails.

    Not sure why in the hell Mannix gave Scull the 7th but not the 1st, 3rd, or 5th which all were better rounds offensively for him. :nusenuse:

    I have to admit its an odd look to be so much bigger, youre younger, and closer to your prime than the guy youre fighting and youre running for dear life as he plods forward.

    Not saying Im not glad he's doing it... just a bit unbecoming, imo.

    Imagine Harry "The Pittsburgh Windmill" in there tonight instead of Scull?

    Movement wise, for every rnd Canelo does, Scull's doing 5.



    It's like taking an unleashed young dog for a walk...

    I know some of you are giving Scull rounds but he is fighting like a ****ing coward absolutely pathetic. This is not a fight.
