00:0023 victories, 11 big wins by knockout, originally from Matanzas, Cuba, but now living, training and fighting, out of Berlin, Germany, ranked among the best in the world by Ring Magazine, he is the reigning, defending, undefeated, IBF, super middleweight, champion of the world, William Elendormoplin!
00:30And across the ring, his opponent fighting out of the red corner, wearing dark blue trimmed with silver, officially weighing in at 167.1 pounds, his professional record, 62 victories, 39 wins by knockout, only two defeats, with two draws.
01:00The Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico, the former middleweight world champion, former junior middleweight world champion, former light heavyweight world champion, now recognized by Ring Magazine as champion, the reigning, defending,
01:30the goal, Cornelio...
01:32...Carnelo...
01:34...Argaret!
01:36Gentlemen, I gave you instructions in the dressing room, you know, I expect of you both, keep the fight clean, obey my commands, most importantly, protect yourself at all times, shake it out, boys.
01:53All right, William Skull, undefeated, unknown, but undeterred, could he possibly become undisputed?
02:09Or will Canelo Alvarez treat him like an uninvited guest to his Saudi Cinco de Mayo Fiesta?
02:16Every single belt is on the line!
02:18Here we go for the undisputed super middleweight championship of the world!
02:24Sergio, I know what you're saying about using footwork, using distance, to me, that's a recipe to survive this fight.
02:34To win it, I think William Skull is going to have to get out of his comfort zone.
02:37He's not going to out-accurate Canelo Alvarez, he's not going to hurt Canelo Alvarez, but he's got to try, I think, to overwhelm Canelo Alvarez.
02:46He averaged 30 punches per round in his last fight against Vladimir Shishkin, he's got to try to come close to doubling that to have a chance to win this fight.
02:55Well, if Skull tries or attempts to sell out, he's going to get closed down by Canelo, because this is what Canelo does.
03:01He starts off slow, he starts ripping the body, he makes that ring smaller and smaller until he starts breaking down opponents and ultimately knocking them out.
03:09I think Skull's also going to have to try to win these early rounds to put himself in a position.
03:14Canelo was a notoriously slow starter. Skull, a bit of a sluggish finisher, he saw that 12th round against Shishkin.
03:21He was hurt, he was tired in that 12th round of a championship-level fight.
03:26Well, Skull was mostly respectful in the build-up to this fight, but did give a little trash talk, saying he was going to eat Canelo Alvarez.
03:33And Canelo responded, the only thing he's going to eat is my fist.
03:39Let's see how aggressive Canelo is against a fleet-footed Cuban.
03:44Canelo fighting on a new continent for the first time.
03:55Fighting here in Asia. Yes, Saudi Arabia is part of Asia.
04:01Canelo's also shown interest perhaps in fighting in the UK sometime soon.
04:08First things first, win back the IBF title that, Chris, I know you're not too happy about him having lost in the first place.
04:16I'm indifferent. Panditories, they come and go.
04:21See William Skull opening up in his orthodox stance. You'll see him switch stances throughout the course of this fight.
04:27Look at the presence in Canelo, not even punching anything, but Canelo just right in front of him, waiting for Skull to make any kind of mistake.
04:36Give him any kind of opening, just like that. Canelo trying to sweep with a left hook.
04:44Skull better keep that chin down. He has a habit of punching and pulling his head back, keeping that chin exposed.
04:50Canelo will try to sweep him with a wide left hook.
04:55Canelo's so methodical, so precise, economical with his punches. He makes every shot count.
05:04Skull not exactly trying to take this fight by the scruff of the neck here in round one.
05:16DJ Majestic, the place specials. No other DJ could pay this one right now. Exclusive!
05:33Además of his burk.
06:01We're going to try the corner.
06:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:14Round two.
06:15Well, Canelo has beaten four reigning super middleweight
06:21champions in his career.
06:22Rocky Fielding, Callum Smith, Billy Joe Saunders, and Caleb
06:26Plant.
06:26School would become his fifth if he can get the job done here.
06:30In the early morning hours in Rio.
06:32Let go!
06:33Let go!
06:35Let go!
06:36Let go!
06:37Let go!
06:38Let go!
06:39Let go!
06:40School is looking to counter something that Canelo is not
06:43really committed to right now.
06:44Canelo is not attacking anything.
06:45He's just judging the distance, judging the range,
06:48looking for the right shot to explode.
06:50Not wasting any punches.
06:52A lot of nervous energy from Willem School right now moving
06:55around but not really doing anything or taking initiative
06:57with that jab yet.
07:00And Sergio, oh, now he started with a right, ended with a left
07:03upstairs.
07:04And maybe School needs to be hit with a big shot to wake
07:07him up to get going.
07:08Conventional wisdom says if you don't win the early rounds
07:11against Canelo, you're not going to win the late ones.
07:14And if you remember, Canelo's been dropping everyone
07:16early.
07:17You know, four of his last six opponents have been dropped
07:19in the first three to four rounds.
07:21Good body shot there by Canelo.
07:24You saw Willem School feeling that, dropped his hands now
07:26to keep that left arm low.
07:28School's saying his game plan tonight is to make Canelo
07:31uncomfortable.
07:32Well, he's switching southpaw for a moment just trying to
07:37give a different look, but nothing coming out of that
07:40left handed stance.
07:41So, right now, Canelo could control definitely the more
07:45comfortable fighter.
07:46Canelo always patient in the ring.
07:51Just a friend walking his opponents down.
07:54You know, he has a couple losses on his resume, a couple
07:56draws on his resume.
07:58But as a super middleweight, he's 9 at 0.
08:01And he has barely been threatened in this weight class.
08:04And he doesn't bite at the faints of School either.
08:09He just moves his upper body slightly.
08:11But he doesn't step back out of range where he can't
08:13counter.
08:14So, he's not intimidated by any of the shenanigans,
08:17any of the foot faints of the speed, the size and length
08:20of Willem School right now.
08:22Been there, done that for Solu Alvarez.
08:25And School's throwing these jabs.
08:27None of them are really landing.
08:29Canelo is very good at parrying shots, blocking shots.
08:32That's why his defense is excellent.
08:38School three and a half inches taller than Canelo
08:41and has a two and a half inch reach advantage.
08:45You'd think he'd want to pepper him with that jab.
08:48Any time you do extend that jab, you're going to be at the range
08:53of getting countered.
08:54See, this is the thing about this style right here.
08:56If you're not going to be committed to anything,
08:59you're not going to be in this fight.
09:01Right now, he flicked the jab.
09:02Canelo came right back with his own.
09:04Well, Canelo, some fighters get through with Canelo
09:06and they're in awe of him a little bit.
09:08You know, you're looking across and seeing a legend over there
09:12and you're thinking, whoa, let me get my bearings here.
09:15And that appears that that might be the case.
09:22Your mission, should you choose to accept?
09:27The clock is ticking, Nathan.
09:30What exactly is your plan?
09:34You're asking me to fly you directly into the eye of the storm.
09:37Which brings us to the tricky part.
09:45You must be out of your mind.
09:47Mission Impossible, the final reckoning.
09:50Mission Impossible, the final reckoning.
09:52the final jaw of him.
09:53I'm out of the sky.
09:54And I'm looking forward to making sure
09:55that the...
09:56.
09:57They cut his head into the up.
09:58Here we go.
09:59Three, four, six, eight.
10:00And then the final kick.
10:01It's like a one at the top five.
10:02One at the top five, one at the top five.
10:03The final pass.
10:04One at the top five, one at the top five.
10:06The final pass.
10:07One to the top five, two, one at the top five.
10:08Is to take it off.
10:09One at the top five, two, one at the top six.
10:10let's see if school tries to pick up the pace a little bit just kind of barking to some of his
10:23fans in the crowd thought he had some success right there at the end of the second round the
10:28judges probably thinking differently well just because nothing's really landing heavily on both
10:33sides doesn't mean success and that will still land from a body shot okay in that round but
10:39high enough to sway sway around when nothing's happening just like that that's another solid body
10:44shot and you know Sergio the fastest way or the best way to slow down a mover is to target that
10:51body Canelo of course knows that we've seen throughout the first two plus rounds how
10:55they looking to go downstairs school has a good right hand it's a solid right hand it's strong
11:02you know there's not much power behind it but there's timing behind it and accuracy and with
11:07his size he's a strong puncher even though he's not knocking guys out he still gets to respect so
11:12he needs to unleash that right hand and try to land it on Canelo just like that it could be a hook it
11:16could be straight it could be at the body but you gotta keep this Mexican off you keep this fight in
11:24the middle of the ring as well school appearing to get a little more comfortable right now
11:31but he made it very clear Chris that he wasn't gonna try and make mistakes he wasn't gonna do
11:39things differently than he has his whole career he's gonna be very judicious with his punch selection
11:43he's not an accurate puncher and Canelo is an accurate puncher Canelo is certainly a
11:48judicious one in this kind of phase two of his career but who makes up for the lack of activity with
11:55incredible accuracy really outside the seats of people nobody in recent years has outlanded Canelo Alvarez
12:03all the way here to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia to support the face of boxing that was a fun crowd at the way
12:16fans here support Canelo Alvarez also Jaime Munguilla Marco Verde on the undercard yeah it was good to see
12:23Canelo back in the dressing room giving Jaime Munguilla his props supporting him I love that man giving props to a former foe
12:31I just respect they have nothing to do with the bloodline is just respect between both champions
12:38school where a well-traveled fighter he's from Cuba had his first nine pro fights in Argentina nine of his
12:45last 10 have been in Germany
12:49Nearly 400 amateur fights before turning pro back in 2016
12:56And you can see him picking up a little bit of style from from every country we've been to you know
13:02Every every country has their own style their own punch in there
13:05You know it's some Europeans fight really up right Argentine is a little strong
13:10You know they like they like single punches to the body Mexican style
13:13It's a clash of styles. Canelo is a tricky Cuban. Well, this is for the undisputed super middleweight title
13:20Let's check it with Claudia. Who's with the undisputed light heavyweight champ. Thank you Todd. Yes
13:26Dimitri Bivol when it was your turn you took the best out of Canelo. How did you pull that off? I?
13:32think I was just
13:34myself without
13:36Without fear they got most of his opponents they have fear and they don't do
13:43What they can do you know, they're very tight?
13:48mentally and the body
13:50They don't throw enough punches
13:52I think this is the most important and talking about that
13:57When do we get a chance to see you doing you again against none other than better bien?
14:03I hope november december
14:06I
14:08Will have a chance to have fight
14:10We look forward to seeing you back. Thank you. Thank you back to Utah. I agree with better bf
14:15a lot of
14:17That is a good strategy for beating canelo
14:21Not throwing a lot of punches and have most of those punches be blocked jabs
14:25It's not a strategy that's going to be better be if I have one of the best jabs in box
14:30He has some of the best
14:32I'm stupid people has one of the best jabs in boxing in and out style footwork
14:36So it's not just throw more punches
14:38It's throwing the right punches at the right time in an in-and-out style where canelo can't catch a rhythm
14:42I'll disagree and he had size and a power advantage very few opponents have
14:48Well school's got the size advantage for sure yeah, but he's fighting squared up
14:52Canelo taking advantage of that body squared up against the ropes you need to get in an angle with canelo
14:57Don't give him that body then you can fight in and out instead of laterally
15:00These are good body shots canelo's just staring at that midsection looking for opportunities trying to close the distance as canelo
15:08patiently stalking school
15:10Trying to cut the ring off forcing the cubit to engage
15:16The more punches school throws the more openings canelo will have
15:24Going to the body and every time he hits him you see school drop those arms and kind of scatter out of there
15:30Canelo just missed with that right hook he grazed the ribs
15:34of school
15:35If he does drop school in this fight
15:38Sergio will it be to the body or to the chin?
15:41I think it's gonna he's gonna hurt him to the body
15:43But it has to be a chin shot because he's just setting him up for something over the top
15:47That's what canelo does he's so patient
15:49He'll keep fighting your fight until you give him an opportunity and then he'll pounce on you
15:55Canelo's become a power puncher, you know, he looks for that single shot now
16:00He's not an explosive combination puncher like he was in his younger days
16:05I'll use experience an old bull mentality
16:08His presence is what will break fighters down and make them first to make the space
16:12Yeah, it's the ball. Oh nice right hand there from school
16:15And he flexes a little bit every shot he lands
16:19Chris he acts like he won the world cup
16:22It wasn't good right now, but it didn't land
16:24Canelo Sergio has evolved defensively significantly to Daniel Jacobs to speak to this like when
16:30He was in his prime years like when he fought jacobs
16:33He would slip a lot of shots movement would be part of his defensive repertoire now
16:38It's more about parrying. It's more about blocking. He's not as elusive as it used to be
16:42But you still can't get to it still has great defense great radar
16:47Just a good eye. He doesn't move see right there. He doesn't move out of the way. He just slowly pauses it
16:52and parries the punch
16:59Little by little game information and gaining the rhythm the speed you know
17:05He's inching closer and closer to landing that big punch all these wasted rounds
17:09You know, it's it's investment for canelo. It doesn't look like much, but when school's not doing anything. He's winning these rounds on presence
17:20So this is for undisputed
17:22We just heard from the undisputed light heavyweight champion and on saturday july 19th here on the zone
17:28We will crown a heavyweight undisputed champion music versus dubois
17:33Who do you have chris look? I would favor alex and ooze against everybody in the heavyweight division
17:39But danie is on a roll right now three huge wins in a row. He is a much improved fighter than the guy that
17:50Don't just be looking at the shoulder you got to look downstairs, too. We're gonna stop this guy, right? We're gonna stop this dude
17:58Oh
18:06Close up a little bit
18:08Let's check it with daniel jacobs. What do you see in here, danny well from our analysis?
18:21I can see canelo being a stalker and playing on this guy, but
18:26Skull needs to really continue to punch more
18:29I think that will be his success because he's a good boxer very athletic
18:33As you can see with this quick uppercut. He's very very talented, but he needs to throw more. He needs to be like
18:41A guy that's assertive and making sure that he knows
18:45And the judges know that he's a victim
18:47Every time williams school does that stop start with his footwork a bunch of gold glitter sprays all over the ring
18:55Don't know if you can see it on camera
18:58But it was interesting in between rounds you heard any reynoso saying we're gonna stop this guy and in the past
19:03Canelo's dropped his last five opponents sergio, but he has said listen when i've dropped him the reason haven't really gone for the kill
19:08Because everyone else has told me not to be patient so tonight though. It's reynoso saying go get it. Yeah, both these guys haven't stopped the fighter in
19:172021
19:19But the confidence in the in the corner of canelo just praying and stalking being patient there seems something that that school is not or that we're not
19:29Because right now canelo's there he's actually becoming too patient because he's not even jabbing his way in trying to
19:35Trying to pop him. Hey chris a lot of criticism from last night's card about the lack of punches thrown canelo's only thrown 38 and landed 12
19:43He's being judicious with his shots with the school numbers are far more glaring like he's not throwing anything
19:49Well, he's throwing he's not landing
19:52Don't throw that many either
19:55We give canelo the benefit of the doubt because we know what he can do with the
19:59Punches that do land
20:04There's a couple
20:19This is the frustrating
20:21Side of the cuban school of boxing they have so much talent and ability
20:26Size power, but they sometimes move a little bit too much
20:30Box a little bit too much defensive minded little bit too much
20:33Right hand of the body there for canelo
20:36Those will start to add up and he's putting a lot of
20:39Behind those shots as well sitting down on those punches and Sergio. We've seen a variety of
20:45Different cubans over the years. We've seen the
20:48Ultra elusive if you want to call it that
20:52Right hand a counter shot here alone rigging down, but we've also seen luis ortiz your york is gamboa
20:58Andy cruz becoming a pretty good action fighter
21:02As a professional as far as I can see from way of school. He is cutting that rigging down
21:08Law started becoming a an exciting puncher once he got older and he's still a champion in his 40s because he got flat foot he doesn't have a leg
21:16Voting
21:17All the way
21:21Now
21:23The
21:27The
21:28There is
21:29The
21:30The
21:30Copy
21:31The
21:32The
21:33The
21:34The
21:34The
21:36The
21:37The
21:39The
21:40The
21:43The
21:44nice uppercut there by school you can see that he pulled it back before he even punched it
21:55he's already thinking about defense instead of offense
21:58back comes camelo canelo with a body shot right there and school better be careful
22:04with those because lifting his arms like that exposing his ribs
22:06all right chris five rounds in the books how do you have this one scored yeah i've got it five
22:20rounds but none in favor of canelo alvarez that last round was probably the best round that
22:26william schools had landed that short uppercut but the body shots of canelo i just thought one
22:32in the round and he's just been in complete control in school he's doing kind of what i thought he was
22:37going to do which is move around a lot fight off the jab there's a right hand best punch of the fight
22:42for school or that and maybe we'll get this fight a little more competitive so really good shot by
22:47school he pretended a jab just to come with a half uppercut 45 degree punch awkward combination
22:55that's the reason our right hand landed see this is where canelo needs to start jabbing the chest
23:04and the torso of school stop him from moving you know the more he moves the more confident school's
23:09going to get the body shot there canelo answered back by school who again flexes
23:17canelo did give school his flowers so to speak this week saying look he's going to be hard to figure out
23:22he's here for a reason this does not be an easy win this is champion versus champion i mean you got
23:29to respect the ability of school even though it's frustrating you have to respect what he's doing
23:34so far he's not engaging he's not getting canelo in one and he's punching back any time canelo gets his
23:40just much back that time that was a good body shot again canelo alvarez these body shots are starting
23:44to add up no canelo's getting the better of it that's why he's winning these rounds convincingly but
23:48school's trying to punch back at least just like that this is the most active round by far here in the
23:56six for both fights
24:06school became number one with the idea by beating jeffney janko back in july 2022 and it was 27 months
24:15until he got his shot at the belt so he's patient both in and out of the room
24:28school promised to break canelo's rhythm
24:34is he doing that to churchio no but he's trying to frustrate him
24:39i don't think he can break he's frustrating all of us
24:47but hey this is this is what he does this is strategy exactly i mean you look at his
24:51record you look at the guy he's fighting how he wins this is his style
24:57it's a spoiler he doesn't commit to punch even that jab right there where he flicks it out he's not
25:03committed to it he's not trying to land it he's just trying to annoy you just get out of the way
25:07not win the round but not get hurt either he's not here to win no he's not he's not here no i think
25:13he thinks he's winning chris i disagree i think he's winning these rounds he thinks he is ignorance is bliss
25:19okay
25:33don't let this guy get bigger and more confident right
25:39you gotta stay well blocked
25:40He wants to win round by round.
25:48Let him keep doing all that nonsense and moving.
25:56Just be careful when you do go to the body.
25:58He's trying to lift you up with an uppercut.
26:02Pay attention.
26:03Pay attention.
26:06Take it round for round.
26:07This guy's never going to stand still.
26:10Round or punch on the inside.
26:15Well, guys, we get to the second half of the fight that's basically going to script.
26:19We have to acknowledge why we're here, and that's because of the IBF.
26:23Made William School its mandatory challenger to Canelo last year with no quality wins on his resume,
26:29which positioned him to win that title.
26:31This is the same IBF that made Karin Shukadzian a mandatory against the Boots Ennis after he wiped him out.
26:37Then Camille Zarameta hit him the mandatory against Gennady Golovkin.
26:40If you're willing to do this IBF eliminator dance, they will rocket you up their rank.
26:45It's completely ridiculous.
26:45Like, this is the same sanctioning body that has a guy named Michael Eifert set up to be roadkill
26:51for the winner of the third fight between Dimitri Beeble and Archer Benevian,
26:54that has ten fighters ranked ahead of Diego Pacheco and Christian Mbili at super middleweight,
26:59that has George Cambosis, who has one fight at 140 pounds, ranked seven spots ahead of Dalton Smith.
27:06Look, years ago, the WBO once ranked a guy named Darren Morris, who was dead at the time that they ranked him.
27:14I feel comfortable saying the IBF's current ranking system is measurably worse.
27:20Atta boy, Chris Maddox.
27:21And Chris is headed out.
27:22But set down, he's headed outside.
27:24Meanwhile, Canelo's trying to cut the ring off, landed some body shots here on school,
27:31who continues to try and stick and move and dance.
27:35But Canelo has made a career out of not getting frustrated.
27:41And those deep body shots are winning the fight for Canelo.
27:44I mean, as frustrating as it is, he keeps aiming at that mid-session,
27:47and they keep landing because the little pot shot that school tries to come back with,
27:53it's not enough.
27:54Canelo's getting the better of it every time in the body.
28:06Do you think I'm wrong, Sergio?
28:08Do you think that school thinks he's doing great right now?
28:11Somehow, someway, I really do.
28:14You know, some guys, some guys think they have success because they're not getting knocked out
28:19by Canelo because they're not getting hit cleanly by Canelo.
28:24He'll say, look at the stats.
28:26I've landed in one more punch than he has.
28:28What do you mean he's won every round?
28:30These moral victories need to stop against Canelo.
28:33Power to the body, nice left there from school.
28:36Boy, he just does not stop moving.
28:46Given that.
28:49A lot of these guys that didn't come to win, Edgar Berlenga, Jermel Charlo,
28:54you know, more victories, don't do it, man.
28:57I mean, you got the payday.
28:59At least try to get some respect.
29:00Try to get something that you can leave your confident with, prideful with.
29:07Head up in the air on the championship level,
29:09one of the best fighters in the world
29:11instead of just moving around for 36 minutes.
29:13Again, I'll disagree.
29:16I think in his mind, he thinks, not only is he trying to win,
29:19I think he thinks he's winning.
29:23Look at his face.
29:24See, I'm telling you, he's having a great time.
29:26Nice to see you, nice to see you, nice to see you.
29:30Nice to see you, baby?
29:30Colin, I guess you can do that as easy as the
29:52and then letting him know keep moving and anytime he gets in there you got to check him with that
30:07uppercut that was a right hook right there but there's that right right uppercut they
30:11keep asking for move laterally but keep moving that's the advice stay on the bike look for that
30:17one shot they fly quickly in the middle of the ring let's see if canelo tries to turn up the heat
30:31when he brought he was right there in front of the bank he gave school around yeah i gave school
30:38the last round mostly because of inactivities by canelo 69 64 favorite guy who am school may
30:46think he's winning he's not i don't think canelo is fighting any kind of brilliant fight but the
30:51power power shots of the body have been a big difference making for him and very little that
30:56william school has done has really counteracted that i agree those body shots they are in between
31:02they're not much but that's a lot more effective than anything william school's doing
31:07canelo's body shot well the referee's way far away from the action isn't he might as well be sitting in the
31:21front row what not even on the screen what did he have to be but school told us he was going to do
31:40this there's there's no surprise here i'm going to stand and trade with this guy i'm going to hit him
31:47make him miss and that's the name of the game sergio you know this better than anybody hit
31:51don't get hit i get it yes but you're also here to win a fight you know you're also here to win
31:56a fight you want to frustrate you want to move you want to use all your assets all your attributes and
32:01yes he's using everything he has and he's sharing some guts by cowering off the ropes like that but
32:07they're not landing those punches are not landing cleanly canelo's had success against big fighters
32:14tall fighters in this division rocky fielding callum smith come to mind there's another big guy
32:19in front of him in william school el indomable and he has experienced fighting a cuban that has
32:28tried to frustrate back in 2014 he fought erislandi lara a highly competitive fight uh in the ring close
32:35on the scorecards canelo came away with a win that night but i think that gave him a bit of a lesson on
32:42what these kind of cuban fighters try to do and lara at least was you know sniping them with one
32:47twos i agree no lara was trying to win and lara to this day he did win that and he makes a great
32:54case for winning that fighter at least the draw but this man is not trying to win he's not controlling
32:59with that jab he's not throwing a one two he's herky jerky moving around the ring not getting hit with
33:05anything cleanly upstairs but those those those few body shots canelo are landing are enough to win the round
33:12go
33:16One, two or two!
33:38just throw one or two shots
33:47you gotta faint whenever you're
33:49you're walking them down nicely but you gotta faint before you attack
33:53and you gotta keep it tight just throw one shot
33:58don't throw more than one shot
33:59Terrence Crawford doesn't look overly impressed with what he's seeing
34:04but again we are approaching
34:07actually it is 7 in the morning local time
34:10we're all a little dazed and confused at this point
34:18referee I don't know if you can hear that said let's fight
34:27there's too much running around I love that why not
34:30I like that from a referee I've heard that from referees in the U.S. before
34:36where in the middle of a fight say hey let's fight action
34:39I like that for the referee trust me he's not delivering that message to Canelo
34:43I love those of you watching around the world celebrating Cinco de Mayo or watching it a pound pound
34:58game face the box and Canelo here on the zone
35:02play right now
35:05let's see
35:07go
35:09all right
35:11the way of school
35:12blow blow on that one that's what canelo was arguing which made that punch
35:18straight possibly a little below that belt
35:22is there anything more canelo can do to force school to engage for no really
35:28because canelo doesn't have the foot speed to close that distance close that
35:34gap and that's always been the complaint with canelo you know the heavy feet
35:39this man does well whenever someone wants to fight him whenever he can
35:43actually get a guy to plant his skin and exchange but whenever someone's not
35:47exchange just moving and jabbing here and there twos and feuds is very frustrating
35:53right hand from school just misses as the crowd trying to purge canelo on here in his 67th pro
35:59fight he does have 39 knockouts they'd love to see number 40. that body shot right there that was a
36:05clean hard body shot that landed without being blocked shots like that would sway around that
36:13school's doing nothing
36:17compu box numbers through eight rounds power shots thrown alvarez with more
36:23look at the body shots 27 to 4. that's going to win the fight for canelo
36:28in the fight for canelo and inside the fight the body shot
36:34canelo blocking that right hand as he moves forward trying to get school against the road
36:39that's what he's got low two of them and it dropped the hands of skull who gives him a smile
36:45and that was the first time i think we've seen combination punching to the body
36:49he's complaining but he also was complaining to the referee again about a low blow there was no
36:58chance that that last punch was below the problem there's one thing that annoys me more is like when
37:03when a fighter complains or looks for the referee for help the man that's fighting you is right in
37:08front of you he hits you low go get it back yes one of the few sports in the world if you don't like
37:15what your opponent is doing you can punch him in the face this is this is the fight game man i mean
37:20what what are you complaining for it's not a war of words you got two fifths go punch the man right
37:28right where he punched you you have a problem we'll get it back
37:34right hand lands for canelo right before the bell as we head to the 10th
37:45so
38:00how do you feel good good
38:03good
38:13You got to keep walking him down, keep walking him down, stay tight with the defense.
38:22Bring your hands back to your face.
38:25Push 10 seconds.
38:29Second time.
38:32Round 10.
38:36Round 10 scheduled for 12.
38:38William Scull, the IVF super middleweight champion.
38:42Canelo's got all the rest of the belts, but he wants to get the IVF back so he can become a two-time undisputed champion in this division.
38:51The first four-belt undisputed champion in this division's history is Canelo.
38:56Come on.
39:09School is from the part of Cuba that invented the Roomba dance.
39:13And we've seen a lot of dancing from school in this one.
39:16You know how to Roomba?
39:19Sergio, I know how to cumbia, salsa, you know how to do the robot, I thought the Rumba
39:33was that vacuum that is electronic by itself, the robot vacuum, I spent way too much time
39:41on Amazon. The school said it was very disrespectful that people were already talking about Canelo
39:54versus Crawford later in the year. That's a little check, quick right hand, a little short
40:02one, nothing damaging, but enough to keep frustrating Canelo. You know, it's interesting, me and
40:08Chris, in the years we've worked together, we're always talking about fighters being
40:13boring and moving too much, and usually you defend that fighter, but tonight you're all
40:18in on saying schools being way too negative. Why are you so negative? Because he's getting
40:22paid millions of dollars and facing one of the best fighters in the world. This isn't just
40:26any type of fight, this is a big stage. You're in Saudi Arabia, his XTC brought you over here,
40:31do something, man, you gotta shine, you gotta go out on your shield, you gotta make your
40:35country proud, make your countries proud. Yeah, I think that's a big part of it. William's
40:41school is in his early 30s. He's not gonna get an opportunity like this again. When you
40:45have a chance like this, I guess a fighter like this, on a stage like this, not taking
40:51advantage of it is crazy. And fights like these, promoters and networks will never bring you
40:58back again. But we saw that with Riggondale, became almost radioactive to television networks
41:04for most of his career. People watch sports for entertainment. They pay money to be entertained.
41:14So Joe, do you think the people who are having a few cervezas right now are more entertained or less entertained right now?
41:32Prep a little more angry than the sober people. They're probably throwing the cervezas at the TV watching this.
41:37They got two rounds left. You get Wendy's last two rounds.
41:55Hitchens versus Camposius Jr. Saturday, June 14th. Live from New York City. You can catch it here on his own.
42:04I know. I've been out there before.
42:08The referee telling Canelo to start fighting. Canelo tells him, why don't you go tell the other corner to start fighting?
42:23Look, this guy's never gonna stop. And if he does stop, he's not gonna throw much. So just tight guard.
42:29Tight guard and just one good shot. Hard shot.
42:32Round 7.
42:35Well, Danny, you didn't run away from Canelo. How do you see things playing out right now?
42:41I see Canelo Alvarez slightly winning.
42:46Really?
42:46But I do think, yes.
42:48I say that because he still needs to punch and be effective with his punches.
42:53And if he doesn't punch and land clean, effective shots, it's gonna be hard, depending on how to judge, judge the fight.
43:01So for me, when you land a punch and you make contact is when you can win a round.
43:07And Canelo, at least as much as we're complaining about Skull, I also think Canelo Alvarez needs to apply the pressure.
43:13He's a world-renowned fighter. He can make the difference in this fight by being effective, by coming forward, cutting the ring off.
43:21This is something that we expect from Canelo Alvarez.
43:24Thank you, Danny.
43:24Hey, Chris, if his name wasn't Canelo, would you be more critical of him right now in this fight?
43:29I think there's fairness to it. It's not.
43:35The punch output is low, even for Canelo Alvarez's fight.
43:39I just think if you're looking for reasons to blame, despite playing out the way it is,
43:44if you're able to blame Pi, it's like 95% to William Skull.
43:49Look, I get what Danny's saying about the scorecards.
43:52And Canelo should throw more, but you're just not getting anything thrown back to William Skull.
43:56Oh, it's a lot of jabs, occasional right hands, a whole lot of moves.
44:01This guy, he's complaining every single time. It's right above the belt line.
44:05Canelo is, in my opinion, having a lot more success here tonight.
44:11There's a body shot from Canelo, answer with a left from Skull, who gives him that smile again.
44:17And hey, who could forget the NFL head coach, Dennis Green, who said they were who he thought they were.
44:24That's kind of what, for Skull, for criticizing him.
44:27But look, this is the way he fights, Sergio.
44:29We knew he would fight like this.
44:32Well, look, I respect Daniel Jacobs.
44:36I respect boxing judges.
44:39Let's just see how they're seeing it.
44:41Because I do not see this man winning rounds.
44:45He's winning out of frustration.
44:47The frustration is not one of the elements of winning a round or a fight.
44:57Who's to say one or maybe two of the judges here are appreciating some of the William Skull movement and defensive ability.
45:06And they're giving him some of these close rounds.
45:08It's not like Canelo is dominating round after round.
45:11William Skull was more active with the jab than was landing shots.
45:18I might believe this fight could be closer, but he's not.
45:21A lot of his jabs, most of his jabs being gobbled up by the defense of Canelo.
45:26Right hands are few and far between.
45:27And the clean punches, even though they're not as many as we'd like to see, are still being landed by Canelo.
45:32I wish this fight was an eight-by-eight-foot ring.
45:44Oh, he's frustrated. Keep doing it.
45:55That's all I'm seeing right there.
45:57Body shots. Whenever someone is moving, not jabbing, not controlling the range, not controlling the ring.
46:04That's not ring generalship.
46:05That's the guy moving away, not engaging, frustrating, but not winning the round.
46:10So single shots to the body that are effective for me sway me to give that not to him.
46:16He's running. He's just got to keep sweeping him with that left hook.
46:30So the 12th and final round, will we see more of the same for more Canelo chasing school around the ring?
46:42And look at his ass in the upper seat on the canvas saying, come on, let's go.
46:46Let's get the fight going.
46:49A lot of money was placed and invested into this fight, into this event.
46:55And right now, Chris Mannix has Canelo ahead 108-101.
46:59Yeah, 108-101. The two rounds I gave to William School were generous.
47:03They were mostly due to a lack of activity in each of those rounds by Canelo Alvarez.
47:08But so far, a completely lopsided winning lead for Canelo Alvarez.
47:14I think you're generous with that second round, but yeah, I agree.
47:17Two rounds max.
47:24There's a left hook from Canelo.
47:28As School momentarily stops moving.
47:32Oh, he stopped moving because he landed a jab.
47:36School must have spent a lot of time running backwards on a treadmill in preparation for this fight.
47:40Given this, he's in phenomenal shape and better shape than he was in with the Vladimir Shushkin fight
47:46where he seemed to fade in the later rounds.
47:48He came prepared. He came ready physically.
47:50I just don't think he came in with a game plan that was designed to win.
47:55The crowd saying, give us something.
47:58Wake us up.
48:05A little combination there from School after Canelo landed a body shot.
48:10His arm punches Canelo Alvarez.
48:16He's become famous for working.
48:19Kyle Smith ate a lot of them.
48:21Injured his bicep after that fight with Canelo.
48:23The major people who beat Canelo came away from that fight with a sore left arm.
48:28Part of his repertoire.
48:28I don't know if it's in the book of refereeing, but there should be a point where a referee
48:41can take away a point for a fighter not fighting, for a fighter not throwing punches, for moving
48:48too much.
48:49You don't have a lot of points to double.
48:52Yeah, but I fought on the inside at least.
48:54I caught, you know, this man's just running.
48:58Look, those two punches on the pipe moves around for 20 seconds, those two more punches, but
49:09never spent still to make this a fight.
49:13Williams too, didn't come to defend his championship, didn't come to win, came to pick up a check,
49:26not get hurt, and get a moral victory for a decision.
49:29A classic confrontation, this does not.
49:37And School just touched Canelo more there than he did the entire fight.
49:44Yes, he did.
49:46And Canelo scolding him saying, come on man, that wasn't a fight.
49:52Well, there are some probably in Germany and Cuba who believe that School did enough to
50:02win.
50:03Did two judges agree?
50:04Well, ladies and gentlemen, the FIFA Club World Cup comes to DAZN as some of the biggest
50:18names in football battle it out to become the globe's greatest.
50:22And once more, the entire event, every game and every goal is live on DAZN and starts June
50:30the 14th.
50:33Will Canelo pick up his 63rd professional win and once again become undisputed or did Williams
50:42School do enough to become undisputed himself and remain undefeated?
50:50Sergio, can you go get me a coffee please?
51:06Here's the best of that last round, a left hook there from Canelo.
51:09No, it was a jab that landed on the left hook.
51:14But was that jab enough to win the round or any round?
51:21Yeah, this is frustrating.
51:30Well, Canelo told us ahead of time that Skull has a complicated style and I'll say he was
51:35right about that.
51:38Skull said, I'm going to move a lot, throw combinations.
51:43I've got the tools to beat Canelo.
51:52Here are the final fight stats powered by CompuBox.
51:57Skull threw 293 punches over about 140 more.
52:02Then Canelo landed one less and you could see most of the work done by Alvarez was two
52:07the body.
52:0840 landed shots.
52:12Any chance Skull wins this, Sergio?
52:16No.
52:17I don't see it.
52:18No.
52:19I don't see it.
52:21You can see the frustration from Canelo.
52:23There's really not much to say about this fight, is there?
52:37I think...
52:38The less said the better?
52:40Yeah, for me it is.
52:42Because I'm frustrated to the point.
52:46I just don't want to be negative to Skull anymore or Skull.
52:50All right.
52:51Michael Buffer has the scorecards.
52:54Who will leave Riyadh undisputed?
52:57The winner will be the undisputed super middleweight champion of the world.
53:07Here are the score totals.
53:08Pablo Gonzalez scores it.
53:09115, 113.
53:10Ron McNair has it.
53:11116, 112.
53:12And Danric Stapdassen has it.
53:13119 to 109.
53:14All three scores go to the winner by unanimous decision.
53:17BenARiscal ohhhh.
53:18113, 133, 134.
53:19Jon McNair has it.
53:20113, 121 and Danric Stapdassen has it.
53:23119 to 109.
53:26All three scores go to the winner by unanimous decision.
53:30Canelo!
53:34Canelo!
53:36Erra!
53:38115,
53:41113 and 116, 112.
53:45So two judges gave school a lot of credit as Saul Canelo Alvarez didn't exactly take William School to school here tonight, but he does become undisputed again.
53:56All I heard was 119-109.
53:59That's the way I saw it.
54:06Well, a win is a win, I guess.
54:09On to the next, and that will likely be a mega fight.
54:15With Terrence Crawford.
54:22Clean the ring, please.
54:24We want to do something.
54:26Clean the ring.
54:29Excuse me.
54:36Come on, Crawford.
54:40Where is the belt?
54:43Just a minute, just a minute.
54:45We do two special ring belts.
55:00This is the first one.
55:04And now it is for Canelo.
55:07What fight are you watching?
55:24What?
