Dana White is officially back in the boxing business. On Saturday night, Canelo Alvarez defeated Cuban boxer William Scull in an extremely terrible fight.
Rd 12: Canelo 10-9, 11-1. Scull should have his license revoked for refusing to fight or even box legitimately. Pure trash fight. And Canelo didn’t do all much either but won basically every round. I am pissed off I watched that. #boxing #CaneloScull
