Canelo Alvarez is made of grit and power and has taken on all comers throughout his career.

William Scull has the height and reach advantage over Alvarez, but is nowhere near as experienced as the Mexican. With a well thought out plan, Scull can keep Alvarez at bay by picking and choosing his shots.

That said, Alvarez has a granite chin and can take shots. He won't be fazed by what Scull has to offer and can take some shots from Scull and push through in order to establish his will.

Alvarez also has grueling body shot and could look to use those once he's in range. Eventually, he might be able to put Scull out by using a body head combo. Look for Canelo to push past some early adversity to get the late round knockout win.
