Alvarez vs. Scull Predictions and Picks For May 03: Bet Canelo Via KO/TKO

I have boxing bets tonight for Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull, which is expected to be a one-sided fight for the undisputed super middleweight title.

Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez is a -4000 favorite to hand Scull his first career loss.

Top 2 Picks for Alvarez vs Scull on May 03

• Canelo Alvarez by KO/TKO (-190)

There is no value in backing Alvarez at -4000 to win outright, but there is good value with KO/TKO markets.

Boxing betting odds have the 62-2-2 champion at -190 to win by knockout, and although we don’t think he’ll win by standing eight count, he could force Scull to give up and throw in the towel.

We’d hate to think what damage Alvarez could do to Scull, who is unbeaten, but he’s nowhere near the same level as the Mexican star, who made Edgar Berlanga look second-rate last year.

Per boxing betting trends, Alvarez hasn’t won by anything other than decision since 2021 when beating Caleb Plant, but he’s overdue a stoppage win, and Scull is the perfect opponent. Scull is ranked outside the top 10 in the world, and he’s not even the top-rated Cuban in the division.

Alvarez has copped criticism for dodging harder opponents, but he won’t care when he’s counting his cash from an easy win on Saturday. My boxing bets tonight have Canelo sending a statement to the rest of the division.

• Under/Over Pick: Alvarez Under 9.5 Rounds (-105)

Most of the money has come for over 9.5 rounds at -125, but my boxing picks today are confident with the under.

I can’t see Scull putting up much of a fight against Alvarez, and although he’ll hang around for a few rounds, the consistent barrage of body shots could take its toll in the middle rounds.

I’m predicting Scull to fail to get up from his chair around rounds 7 and 8, and that’s good enough to cash under 9.5. Alvarez is one of the best volume punchers in the world, and with 62 wins on his record, he’s still punching with the best of them.

It’s worth including under 9.5 in your boxing parlay bets for the big fight in Saudi Arabia.
