Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull undercard under the microscope

Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull tops the marquee but there are intriguing facets to these matchups that fill out the undercard. For Jaime Munguia vs. Bruno Surace, this is an enticing sequel clash as the former champion Munguia aims to tie up his series with Surace.

In December, Surace secured a massive upset victory when he landed a one-punch knockout in Mexico that secured the distinction of Ring's Upset of the Year.

For Martin Bakole vs. Efe Ajagba, Bakole will look to bounce back after being stopped by Joseph Parker after stepping up last minute to fill a prominent vacancy. That spot was left open by Daniel Dubois who fell ill two days out from the Parker bout. For Ajagba, he will look to build off of his split decision win over Guido Vianello last April.

WBC Cruiserweight champion Badou Jack defends against his mandatory Ryan Rozicki with the former competing for the first time since winning the belt in February 2023. Rozicki's previous prizefight saw him fight to a draw in December.

Marco Verde is a well-regarded Olympian making his professional debut against Michel Polina. Meanwhile, Brayan Leon, who trains under Eddy Reynoso, will face Aaron Guerrero, who has never been stopped after 15 professional boxing bouts.
