Saul "Canelo" Alvarez owns a new slice of boxing history, though it's probably one he'd rather forget.
The now two-time undisputed super middleweight champion was one-half of a fight that set a new record for in-ring passivity on Saturday night, as Alvarez (152) and William Scull (293) combined to throw just 445 punches for their undisputed title bout at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The paltry total represented the fewest combined punches thrown in a 12-round boxing bout in the 40-year history of boxing stat-tracker Compubox.
In addition, the 152 punches thrown by "Canelo" himself were the second-fewest ever thrown by a lone boxer in a 12-round bout tracked by Compubox.
