Canelo Alvarez beats William Scull to become undisputed super middleweight champion again

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Canelo Alvarez beat William Scull in a unanimous points decision Sunday to become undisputed super middleweight champion again.

The 34-year-old Alvarez is a four-weight world champion and entered the fight with the WBA, WBC and WBO titles at 168 pounds.

He was stripped of the IBF belt last July when he declined to make a mandatory defense against Scull. Alvarez became a two-time undisputed champion in the division for the second time when the judges scored it 115-113, 116-112, 119-109.

The fight against IBF champion Scull didn’t live up to the hype.
