Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is still king of the super middleweights. Alvarez retained his undisputed super middleweight championship on Saturday night, bludgeoning John Ryder over 12 rounds to win a wide unanimous decision in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The fight was the first for Alvarez in his home country in more than a decade and he’d promised his fans he would deliver a knockout. It seemed the former pound-for-pound king would deliver on his promise early. After drawing a steady stream of blood from Ryder’s nose, Alvarez landed a right hand that sent Ryder to the canvas in Round 5.
