Mastic bitter Canelo Alvarez who came to the event on the strength of his recent success against William Scull last May at the’Anb Arena in Riyadh. The Mexican had won the undisputed super middleweight title for the second time in his career, unifying the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF belts. However, the performance against William Scull had shown some limitations in the 34-year-old Mexican, so much so that the victory had come only on points (by unanimous verdict) without shining like in the good old days.
