Prediction

Alvarez will win this fight.

A patient, calculating fighter who leaves no doubt by landing clean punches, he will survey Scull early on before adapting to his pace and teeing off on him. Expect body shots as he wears down the Cuban boxer and a either a knockout or TKO midway through the fight.

Scull can win if he can utilize his timing and a quick right hand to his advantage.

He will be the same efficient boxer he has always been, picking and choosing his shots but failing to do enough to justify an official's decision, thanks to the limited number of punches he will ultimately land.

Alvarez, the more experienced and frankly better boxer, will feed right into Scull's style, allowing him to develop a false sense of security before teeing off on him, landing body shots and jabs that fill out the judge's scorecard.

While he could win by decision, expect a barrage of mid-round rights and lefts to and about the body to be the difference here, as Alvarez wins by unanimous decision and adds the 63rd win of his career.

And deals Scull his first loss.

Prediction: Alvarez by unanimous decision
