Canelo Alvarez vs William Scull prediction

William Scull is almost four inches taller than Canelo Alvarez, which might make it difficult for Alvarez to close the distance. Scull also has a massive amateur background with 332 fights and 302 wins, meaning he might have some tricks up in his sleeves due to the vast experience.

Canelo Alvarez, though, has been in the ring with greats. Scull has never fought someone like Canelo, who is not only a power puncher but also possesses top-tier technical skill.

While Alvarez might have trouble getting close, he has previously shown willingness to walk through the fire to land his own shots. And Alvarez will look to do the same against Scull as well. Scull's height might see Alvarez go for the body and chop it down before eventually going up top with vicious shots

Fans could be in for a vintage Canelo Alvarez outing, and one might expect Canelo to get a late stoppage after taking some time to settle into the fight early on.

Winner: Canelo Alvarez by knockout
