Alvarez was fighting outside the U.S. or Mexico for the first time and had to make plenty of adjustments, including adjusting to the time zone. The fighters walked into the ring and the anthems started around 6:20 a.m. local time (11:20 p.m. ET Saturday) in Riyadh, timed so it was in prime time on the U.S. West Coast.
The opening rounds were slow with both boxers feeling for range and the intensity gradually lifted with Scull throwing many more punches but barely landing any. Alvarez, by contrast, stayed patient and was landing powerful body punches.
Scull kept moving around, dodging and shuffling, frustrating Alvarez, who later said he hated fighting that style of boxer.
