Canelo eyes next fight after beating Ryder by unanimous decision in Mexico

Canelo Álvarez beat John Ryder by unanimous decision in front of more than 50,000 fans in his first fight in Mexico since 2011 to remain the undisputed super middleweight champion on Saturday night.

Álvarez bloodied the British challenger’s nose and knocked him down, cruising to the victory by scores of 120-107 on one card and 118-109 on the other two. 'I hit him too much in the head and he did not go down,' said Canelo. 'I’ve always said it, when they fight me, they give their 100 per cent. It gets complicated because they usually give me the fight of their lives.'

Ryder said he suffered what is probably a broken nose in the second round and that played a major role in having his four-bout winning streak stopped. 'He’s probably past his best, he could not get me out there, he wanted to stop me and could not do it,' said Ryder. 'It could have been a little different with out the problem to my nose, it took me a few rounds to get adjusted.'

Finally Canelo, dang. Go for dat Vibol rematch!

[aztekwarrior]

If bivol says no to rematch at 175lb CAnelo should force it by negotiating a fight with Beterbiev at 175lbs.. Take his belts and then force the rematch with bivol.. You gotta play chess not checkers

[wilfredorivera]

I will move on from bivol and I will look for a mega fight with benavidez big money fight.but I understand he wants redemption. Just my point of view.

Canelo performance was boring and that defense just horrible what happened to him? This jhonn rider i have never heard of this guy until today.

[SaveDisiniBALI]

don't fight bivol because canelo's fighting style is very easy to be countered by bivol because he is stronger and more powerful it will be useless canelo against bivol better canelo against benavidez balanced
