PREDICTION: CANELO ALVAREZ VS. JOHN RYDER

By: Jay Calderon

On Saturday, May 6, at Akron Stadium in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, and live on DAZN pay-per-view, world Super Middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez will battle mandatory challenger John Ryder.

Alvarez, 58-2-2 with 39KOs, last competed back in September of last year, earning a decision over bitter rival Gennadiy Golovkin. Canelo has gone 9-1 in his last 10 outings, stopping five in that line up.

Ryder is 32-5 with 18KOs, having last competed back in November, earning an injury stoppage over Zach Parker to earn the Alvarez shot. Ryder has gone 8-2 with 6 stoppages in his ten most recent encounters.

Does Alvarez prove worthy of being a massive favorite or will Ryder pull. Off the biggest upset of the year? Check out my Prediction in the video above.
