They stripped Canelo for this? Scull claims IBF belt

William Scull W12 Vladimir Shishkin... German-based Cuban William Scull did not impress anyone, but nonetheless won the vacant IBF super middleweight title that was recently stripped away from the true world champion, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. Scull stumbled all around the ring in the twelfth round but survived Vladimir Shishkin's late rally to take home a unanimous decision. The official scores were 116-113, 116-112 and 115-113. The bout took place in Scull's adopted home of Germany. Scull is now 23-0 while the Russian Shishkin falls to 17-1 including the World Series of Boxing.
