    Scull was spineless vs schiskin, when he only threw 350 punches, what do you think he is going to do vs Canelo?

    Being undisputed, getting stripped and then beating the bum with your belt to get undisputed again is literally meaningless. Acting like its an accomplishment is laughable. It's not a real 2x undisputed.

    He has a belt, he will at least show up and not hide under his bed like other gutless cowards

    I’d rather have just seen him KO Jake Paul now

    I believe he is hyping the fight with Bud
    Scull gives him a tune up with the missing belt to make the Bout with Crawford for undisputed.

    the reason the fight with Bud was called off
    Was because Turki didn’t want the optics of Jake Paul vs Canelo just before he fights Crawford.

    Thank you mods for merging Space Boy's topic into this one, the OTC. Space Boy tried to steal @BoxerMaurits thunder by creating a second topic after the OTC broke the news first. :deal:

    Canelo better watch out for the sleeper. Maybe Scull will pull off a Cory Spinks vs Zab judah upset.

    Canelo has already been undisputed and never lost his belts in the ring.

    To be fair, they are no longer in the same division, and Canelo is clearly not keen for another trip to 175. Bivol killed any ambition Canelo had in him.
    But hey, things might change next year! I am certain that Turki will offer Canelo lots of money to move up, and by that time Benavidez will likely have challenged the winner of Beterbiev vs Bivol.

    One of them will be Crawford for sure, which I’d imagine is the reason why Canelo agreed to be tied down for 4 fights.

    Then the other 2 fights would likely be against Scull-level opposition, maybe Surace. The best we can hope for realistically is Mbili.

    This match is just pathetic. Truly embarrassing. Canelo has jumped the shark.

    This is just disappointing. Il probably watch the highlights on YouTube a month after the fight if I’m bored. I struggle to get excited for boxing this last few years I wish I liked MMA or something to replace it but I guess I’m stuck with watching old nostalgia fights online.

    Canelo better not disappoint and make the Terence Crawford fight, it's the most exciting fight that can be made in boxing.
