Canelo Alvarez won the decision. William Scull acted indignant. But the real winner after 12 stupefyingly dull rounds between the two guys holding claims to elite status at 168 pounds was neither the Mexican superstar nor the Cuban runner. It was Terence Crawford, presuming he stayed awake at ringside.

Canelo Alvarez vs William Scull took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on May 3. The undisputed super middleweight title was on the line for the contest. The fight began slow as Scull failed to do anything significant while Alvarez measured the Cuban's offerings.
