On Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, there was no drama at the scales as unified super middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs) and IBF champion William Scull (23-0, 9 KOs) both came underneath the division’s 168-pound weight limit. Although the buzz has been a little light for this fight card due to the Times Square event, the buzz will be right back on the card in Riyadh by the time the Canelo-Scull PPV comes on. Canelo is a huge favorite, but given the upset by Rolando Romero on Friday, fans may want to put a little wager on Scull to upset the future hall of famer Canelo.
