Canelo win
The beautiful bout between the multiple champion Canelo and Ryder ended a few hours ago. Canelo Alvarez is an undisputed champion endowed with superlative class, in our opinion he is fighting in a category not his own, but he is a monster. Ryder is a good fighter is the one nominated by the WBO to challenge the Mexican champion.
Let’s go to the match; Canelo’s superiority is not in question; but his defense was in some stretches really very questionable; he comes from surgery, the condition of his hand was also tested, but that doesn’t justify his defensive performance, if he had taken those blows from Bivol we doubt he would have stayed on his feet; every match is a story in itself, and tonight was yet another demonstration.
Ryder; great heart and a really high ability to cash in, we hope to see him again after a fight like that always very competitive; Saul in addition to defense made some tactical mistakes in our opinion he was always coming back on Ryder’s left which did some damage, remember Canelo is a super solid fighter; but really his ability to move his torso fouling the blows in short his defense was certainly not seen tonight, in fact we don’t know if that is a red flag but it is a fact and we point it out.
Canelo in our opinion did not train at his best and this is perhaps also due to the stature of his opponent, he knew he was superior he will not have given his best, certainly during the match we repeat defensively he did not.
The match was enjoyed by the more than fifty thousand people who came to see it in Mexico, the boxing show continues, great respect for a super Ryder who exceeded all predictions, in fact at some junctures he dominated; in our opinion the score 120 to 107 does not fit at all, seven rounds to Canelo 4 to Ryder and one even… but little changes; Canelo won in some stretches dominated but did not convince defensively also the ring gave the idea of a match that had to end no later than the seventh eighth round, small battle ones that Mexicans love, and the one they attended; Great Canelo honor to Ryder who managed to stay on his feet putting in our opinion, in trouble Saul; long live boxing great show for luck.
