Canelo Álvarez vs. John Ryder

Álvarez's last fight was a trilogy bout against Gennady Golovkin, which he won via 12-round unanimous decision.[7] On the other hand, Ryder's last fight was against Zach Parker at The O2 Arena, which he won via a 5th round corner retirement, gaining the interim title.[8]

The fight was Álvarez's first in his native Mexico, in over 10 years, hence the billing "The King is coming home".[9]

Álvarez was dominant throughout the fight. He dropped Ryder in round 5 and frequently attacked with hooks to the body and combinations to the head. Álvarez won via unanimous decision. Ryder received praise for his durability for continuing to fight despite receiving a broken nose in the opening rounds.
