Canelo Alvarez made no effort to conceal his frustration after securing a win over William Scull on May 4 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to retain his undisputed super middleweight title.
Throughout the 12-round bout, Alvarez relentlessly pursued Scull, who relied on constant movement and evasion, resulting in a largely uneventful contest.
The two fighters landed a combined total of around 100 punches, and the referee was forced on multiple occasions to urge them to engage more actively.
