    The Cuban style, when it’s bad, is the worst in all of boxing

    By far the most boring to watch.

      When it's good its beautifully mesmerising but when its bad yeah it could put a glass eye to sleep.

      It frustrates me as I simply see no reason as to why Scull couldn't just let his hands go a little bit more, simply threw a few more punches a round at least its not like he ever looked bothered by Canelos power or like Canelo landed any counterpunches. I think he did virtually everything right apart from letting his hands go.
      Would he have got a decision still probably not but he'd have at least won a few fans instead of losing all the 50 he had prior.
      And tbf I don't want to just put it on Scull, Canelo was equally to blame in there.

        Alvarez was limited

        no jab unable to cut off the ring no head movement

        plodding forward winging one power punch at a time sometimes two

        can the idea Alvarez had about rematching Bivol

        In their current conditions Alvarez gets a sprain ankle trying Bivol

        Alvarez is best matched with guys who will stand and **** with him like Benavidez

          Meaning bad for the spectators. Rigondeaux had some brutal borefests.

          To be fair, Americans like Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney can put people to sleep too.

            If he fought exactly the same way but was American with US media backing he would be hailed as a future pound-for-pound king.

              Naw, Shakur got booed in his own hometown for stinking the place out. Then got dropped by Top Rank.

                Still got the decision though didn't he? Just needs to up his trash talk game like Mayweather did to draw the paying imbeciles back in.

                    lol dude goal every round was to land 3 punches then disengage every other moment

                    Floyd would land 10 to 15 per round then spoil
