Betting Odds

This weekend, on Saturday, May 3, Saúl Canelo Álvarez faces William Scull in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in a high-stakes super middleweight showdown that will crown the undisputed champion at 168 pounds. Canelo puts his WBA, WBC, and WBO titles on the line, while Scull brings the IBF belt he won last year, making this a rare unification bout with all four major belts at stake.

According to Betway, Canelo is listed at 1/33 (roughly -3000), while Scull is a big underdog at 12/1 (around +1300). Canelo is a massive favorite. This means if you bet $100 on Canelo, you’d win only about $3 in profit, but the same bet on Scull could return $1,200 or more if he pulls off the upset.

Oddsmakers expect Canelo to win, and the most likely method is by knockout or technical knockout. Canelo’s odds to win by KO/TKO are much shorter than for a decision. Scull, on the other hand, is seen as having only a slim chance, with his best shot being to survive and win a decision, which is considered very unlikely.

The odds have stayed heavily in Canelo’s favor since they opened, and there hasn’t been much movement. He started as a massive favorite and remain one as fight night approaches. The implied probability for Canelo to win is over 95%.

The stakes are enormous. If Canelo wins, he will once again be the undisputed super middleweight champion, further cementing his legacy and setting up even bigger fights in the future. For Scull, an upset would be life-changing, instantly making him a global star and the top man at 168 pounds. With both fighters coming off unanimous decision wins and plenty of intrigue about how their styles will mesh, fans can expect a tactical, high-level contest with legacy-defining consequences..

Canelo is  known for his elite counterpunching, powerful body shots, and the ability to adapt to any style in the ring. Canelo’s experience is unmatched. He’s fought and beaten some of the best names in the sport and is widely considered the man to beat at super middleweight, plus is highly touted as a pound-for-pound boxer.

William Scull, 32, is a Cuban-born, Berlin-based fighter with a perfect 23-0 record (9 KOs). Though not as well-known as Canelo, Scull is a product of Cuba’s famed amateur boxing school, which emphasizes technical skill, footwork, and ring intelligence.

Canelo enters as the clear favorite, backed by experience and a proven track record, while Scull looks to make the most of his opportunity as a significant underdog. The fight has high stakes for both men’s careers ringing together all four super middleweight titles for one undisputed champion.
