PREFIGHT: This has been quite the weekend of boxing. First the Times Square Fatal Fury on Friday night and now this. The fights have been better tonight than yesterday and we’ve only got one left. It’s time for Canelo Alvarez.
Canelo in white and blue, with matching gloves.
Oh and Bud Crawford is here in attendance. They got to him for a brief interview where he reiterates that he wants a fight against Canelo and calls it “the biggest fight in the last decade.”
Michael Buffer in the ring now and it’s time for the walks. There’s a brief light show and then Scull hits the arena. He’s draped in the Cuban flag and wearing the biggest smile you’ve ever seen.
Now Canelo is up. He’s in the aforementioned blue and white and accompanied by his musical act. Man looks completely unbothered. It’s almost time.
I lied. I forgot we’ve gotta do anthems and all the announcements. But that shouldn’t take too long. Buffer incorrectly says the German national anthem is coming up, but it’s the Cuban one for Scull. And then Latin Grammy winner Majo Aguilar sings the Mexican national anthem.
