    Headlining the Fatal Fury card in Riyadh on May third. Super middleweight total unification, with the WBO, WBC, and WBA titles (2nd, 4th and 4th defense of Canelo respectively) being reunified with the IBF (which the Mexican formerly held, but relinquished instead of facing then-mandatory Scull; this is Scull's first defense after capturing the vacant belt).

    With a 23-0 record, WSY doesn't know how to lose! He also doesn't know much about facing world class professional opposition, as he arguably has done so just once, in his last outing, versus Vlad Shishkin (Martín Fidel Ríos and Sergey Khomitsky were both very high-value journeymen once upon a time, but were both fairly worn & weathered by their meetings with the Cuban-German). Álvarez on the other hand boasts about half a dozen Hall of Fame shoe-ins, by my reckoning - and his competition hasn't always been stellar but it's been at least decent ranked sorts for 15 years running now.

    Being really tired and reading your post made me think, why hasn't any Cuban boxer taken the nickname "The Cuban Missile Crisis"

    Well I have a Military event today and then driving 90 miles to grab my sister for an Alice Cooper concert in her town.

    After last night’s card I’m not too upset about missing this one.
