In the latest fighting news, John Ryder is entering Saturday’s fight against Canelo Alvarez as the underdog in many sportsbooks. Of course, being underestimated is always a good thing when it comes to boxing. Ryder wants to surprise Canelo and take his four super middleweight titles. The two fighters will meet at the Estadio Akron in Guadalajara, Mexico on May 6th.
While some boxing fans may be shocked if Canelo were to lose, it’s not entirely unexpected given his beatable performances in 2022. In fact, Canelo is lucky he didn’t lose both of his fights that year, having been beaten by Dmitry Bivol in May and almost beaten by Gennadiy Golovkin. When learning how to become a bookie, you need to know the history of a fighter to measure his or her mettle.
Will John Ryder Beat Canelo Alvarez?
Despite Canelo’s perfect 7-0 record against British fighters, Ryder aims to break it by defeating him in front of his own fans in Saturday’s fight. If Ryder had faced Canelo in the past, his record against British fighters may have been 6-1. It could also be because his fighting style is said to be Canelo’s kryptonite on paper. The only question is whether Ryder can withstand Canelo’s power and wear him down.
