William Scull <\/a>doesn\u2019t care what Pablo Gonzalez, Ron McNair and Danrex Tapdasan had to say. In his opinion, they were all wrong.
The trio scored his May 3 bout in favor of Canelo Alvarez <\/a>in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, resulting in him losing his IBF super middleweight title<\/a>. Although several months have gone by, Scull still has sleepless nights. He believes he forced Alvarez to miss while simultaneously making him pay.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s sad, isn\u2019t it?\u201d Scull said on Fight Hub TV. \u201cLosing a fight without taking a hit. He never landed a punch on my face.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scull (23-1, 9 KOs) boxed, moved and moved some more. Fans dozed off. Alvarez<\/a> failed to cut off the ring to force Scull to fight. <\/p>\n

According to CompuBox, Scull and Alvarez threw a combined 445 punches. Since those stats have been kept, that was the fewest in a 12-round fight. <\/p>\n

Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) is hoping for a more fan-friendly fight this weekend. The 35-year-old undisputed champion will take on Terence Crawford<\/a> this Saturday night at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas streamed on Netflix. <\/p>\n

Scull, on the other hand, is still on ice. He doesn\u2019t have a fight lined up, but is hoping that will change relatively quickly. When the 33-year-old does return, he\u2019ll put the lessons he learned from that Alvarez bout to good use. <\/p>\n

While he\u2019ll look to turn that negative into a positive, he still doesn\u2019t believe he actually lost. <\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like I won,” Scull said. “I could\u2019ve pushed more in the last two rounds, that\u2019s true, but he never hit me thanks to my footwork. I feel like I was the winner that night.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"William Scull doesn\u2019t care what Pablo Gonzalez, Ron McNair and Danrex Tapdasan had to say.
