In a truly baffling turn of events, William Scull has insisted he beat Canelo Alvarez in what may go down as one of the dullest title fights in recent Boxing history. If you watched it, you’re probably still trying to stay awake — but Scull’s comments might give you a jolt. Even more surprising? Amir Khan agrees with him.
Despite being outworked and barely throwing punches across twelve long rounds in Riyadh, Scull has doubled down on his belief that he deserved the win. “I felt like I was winning by round five,” Scull told reporters. “If Canelo’s not hitting me, why would I take unnecessary risks?”
The Cuban super-middleweight even invoked the classic “hit and don’t get hit” logic, claiming he was more effective than the undisputed champ. “That’s our principle,” he said. “I was cleaner, he was less active.”
Let’s be honest: nobody thought this was a close fight — except Amir Khan, who not only backed Scull’s performance but called it a “great showing” from both fighters.
Speaking on the bout, Khan said: “It could’ve gone either way. I had Scull winning by two rounds. Canelo landed the cleaner shots, but Scull was elusive. It was a great performance from both.”
Great? That’s debatable. The bout was a slow-paced, tactical snoozefest that broke PunchStat records for inactivity. If this were the 1950s, neither fighter would’ve gotten paid.
What’s truly shocking is the brass neck it takes to underdeliver and demand victory. This isn’t just controversial; it’s borderline delusional. And for Khan — once on the receiving end of a classic Canelo KO — to agree with Scull only adds to the spectacle.
Will fans give Scull another shot?
That’s the real question. The super-middleweight division is stacked with talent, and while Scull’s movement is solid, fans expect action — not avoidance. At Bloody Media, we’re keeping an eye on how the public responds, but let’s just say we’re not holding our breath for a Scull headliner anytime soon.
