Canelo vs Ryder live stream: expert analysis
Fight fans in Guadalajara, Mexico, have been waiting 12 long years for their hometown idol Canelo Alvarez (58–2–2 (39 KO)) to come back to where it all began and defend his undisputed world super middleweight belts. Finally, the pound-for-pound great is home and will meet British underdog John Ryder (32-5 (18 KO)) in what is set to be one of the biggest boxing events of 2023 so far.
The numbers surrounding Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez's career are quite simply stunning. A debut at 15, the first man to unify the super middleweight division and now about to appear in his 23rd world championship fight. Indeed, it's nearly a decade since the Mexican hitman fought Floyd Mayweather Jr in the first of just two professional defeats. The only other came more recently, up at light heavyweight to the superb Russian Dmitry Bivol and since that surprise defeat, Alvarez has completed a trilogy of fights against eternal rival Gennady Golovkin to definitively settle that with two wins and a draw. The 32-year-old has already beaten British Matthew Hatton, Ryan Rhodes, Amir Khan, Liam Smith, Rocky Fielding, Callum Smith and Billy Joe Saunders in his career, with big wins against Caleb Plant, Daniel Jacobs and even Sergey Kovalev on his CV as a four-weight world champion. An expert counterpuncher with one of the best jabs in the game, Alavez weight of shot surprises many when they're finally put in front of him.
No one could accuse John Ryder of taking the easy route to his second world title fight. The 34-year-old from Islington had seemed destined to always be an undercard barnstormer who gave fans value for money in British title fights, but under the tutelage of Tony Sims is enjoying a late-career blossoming. When Ryder lost to Rocky Fielding for the British super middleweight title in 2017, it would've seemed impossible he would be fighting a pound-for-pound great inside six years, but he has rebuilt well and gained many plaudits in a controversial world title defeat to Callum Smith two years later. Proving he could live among elite through his excellent work up close, a superb defeat of Daniel Jacobs and then Zach Parker for the WBO interim belt put him in prime spot for Canelo. Ryder may be a massive underdog, but if he can avoid the Canelo jab and make the fight messy on the inside then who knows what could happen? A late Canelo stoppage seems most likely, but upsets have happened before.
