Canelo comes into this matchup holding the WBA, WBC, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight titles. Not long ago, he vacated the IBF title in favor of defending against Edgar Berlanga last September. In a match against Berlanga, Alvarez achieved a clear victory through a unanimous decision to keep his titles intact. Meanwhile, Scull earned his IBF belt by winning over Vladimir Shishkin in October.
The co-main event sees Jaime Munguia aiming for redemption after a shocking upset loss to Bruno Surace last December. Going into that fight, Munguia was viewed as a strong favorite, especially after his previous 12-round clash with Alvarez. However, in a surprising turn of events, Surace landed a decisive right hand in the sixth round, securing a knockout win when Munguia failed to beat the count.
