Official Weekly Boxing Results & Breakdown

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez UD 12 William Scull –

• Canelo took all twelve rounds to gain a unanimous decision over Scull, which he even branded as “boring” and fans alike were not impressed. By the championship rounds came, Canelo was in his element and dominated the last couple of rounds. Many fans speculated Scull was there more for the payday than the fight with his running around the ring. Canelo and Crawford were announced in the ring after the fight

Rolando Romero UD 12 Ryan Garcia –

•  Romero entered as the louder showman which is a feat in itself against a loud opponent such as Garcia. Rolly caught Garcia with a powerful left hook in the second which sent him to the ground, Ryan said “He fought a good fight; caught me early. No excuses, man.” When the final bell rang, Romero’s composure and round-banking hustle outweighed Garcia’s flashier moments.

Devin Haney UD 12 Jose Ramirez –

• Haney controlled the distance all night, turning Ramirez with his signature sharp footwork and quick counters. Ramirez struggled to land clean as Haney stepped clear or tied him up inside. Round after round Haney banked points without taking risks, leaving little doubt on the cards. By the final bell the decision was routine and Ramirez could only shake his head.

Teofimo Lopez UD 12 Arnold Barboza –

• Lopez set the tone with a jolting right in the fourth that had Barboza on unsteady legs. From there he defended with scoring bursts, keeping Barboza cautious. Barboza’s late rally behind the jab wasn’t enough to close the gap. Lopez’s cleaner work and ring command delivered a clear unanimous decision.

Naoya Inoue TKO 8 Ramon Cardenas –

• Inoue showed the class gap early, drilling head-and-body combinations at will. Cardenas stayed in the game and even dropped Inoue hard with a sharp and powerful left-hook that shocked the world, but Inoue showed why he is regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. A final unanswered barrage in the eighth left the referee no choice but to wave it off. 

Emanuel Navarrete TD 8 Charly Suarez –

• A clash of heads in round two opened a bad cut on Suarez, and the clock started ticking. Navarrete’s high output and odd angles piled up points while Suarez tried to counter through the blood. After eight rounds the doctor ruled the cut too severe, sending it to the cards, where Navarrete’s volume earned him the technical decision.

Raymond Muratalla UD 12 Zaur Abdullaev –

• Muratalla marched forward behind a busy jab and worked Abdullaev’s body from the start. Abdullaev answered with looping rights that landed but his pace faded late. Muratalla finished stronger, stringing compact combinations in the championship rounds. The judges rewarded his work rate with a unanimous decision.

Anthony Cacace TKO 9 Leigh Wood –

• Cacace spent the early rounds timing Wood, then shifted the fight with a sharp left hand, to the body which saw Wood struggling. Wood battled back bravely, yet Cacace’s counters grew heavier as minutes passed. In the ninth a series of hooks left Wood sagging on the ropes, and his corner through in the towel. A statement stoppage win for Cacace.
