Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez beat Britain's John Ryder in front of 50,000 raucous Mexican
fans on a historic night in Guadalajara. The Mexican champion defended his
undisputed super-middleweight crown on points despite a spirited display by Ryder
at Estadio Akron. Alvarez, 32, dominated the fight and dropped Ryder in round five,
but the Londoner fought back well.
Two judges scored the bout 118-109 and the other 120-107 to Alvarez.
The four-weight world champion won his 59th fight since turning professional, with
two losses and two draws. The fight was Ryder's sixth loss in 38 bouts and he has
now twice failed at world title level, after being defeated by Briton Callum Smith for
the WBA 'Super' title in 2019.
Boxing fans are calling for a mouth-watering clash against former world champion
David Benavidez. The undefeated American has 23 knockout wins in 27 fights.
