This past weekend featured significant boxing matches, notably Naoya Inoue's victory over Ramon Cardenas, where he recovered from a knockdown to win by stoppage. Canelo Alvarez faced William Scull in a 12-round unanimous decision but only landed 56 punches, raising questions about his recent performance. Despite winning, Canelo fell to No. 7 in rankings due to subpar opponents and is scheduled to face Terence Crawford next. Inoue, maintaining a remarkable KO streak, is set for another title defense, highlighting his dominance in the division.
[Scull] wasn't trying to win, he was just trying to survive, and I hate those kinds of fighters. He moved even more than I thought, but it's OK. We won.
Canelo falls on my list due to the subpar quality of his recent opponents. ... He hasn't done much for us lately.
By watching tonight's fight, everyone is well aware that I like to brawl. I was very surprised [by the knockdown], but I took things calmly and put myself together.
Inoue extended his KO streak to 11 in title fights. He has another fight lined up for September, a title defense against mandatory challenger Murodjon Akhmadaliev in Japan.
