Comments Thread For: John Ryder Explains That Before He Trained To Make Weight, Pressure is Off at 168

[Silence]

Ryder didn’t school, he edged it. Canelo was the one who “schooled” Smith. You even missed the point, Ryder performs better at 168 the Smith does at 175.

He schooled. I scored it 9-3. Canelo 11-1'ed Smith.

I didn't miss anything. Most fighters are already drained. It ain't special for Smith.

Why is this important? He hasn't fought at MW since 2016?

Why he didn't fought Morell jr last year? The fight was set and done. I think hearns didn't like the match up.

John Ryder or Zach Parker would be a great tuneup for Canelo. The guy who beat Callum Smith and the guy who was ducked by Andrade.

It might sound a bit like excuse making but I think John's simply being dead straight here - the improvement was immediate and noticable after he moved up. Honestly no way I could see a fully heathy 168Lb Ryder losing to likes of Arnfield or Blackwell.

In this day and age with 30hrs after weighin they pretty much all go through this, initially when they start fighting to be as big as they can be at the weight is very important as they get going it catches up and they want to move up.

Win and he gets a shot at Canelo and I really wouldn't be mad at that honestly for Canelo UK Debut

Only Canelo can beat motivated, well-trained and non-drained Ryder at 168. It was already clear that something was wrong in the Blackwell fight. He beat Smith, Jacobs and Fielding without question and gave a hell of a fight to Saunders.

I hope he won't be robbed and judges give his due against Parker. He deserves Canelo payday at least as much as Plant does.

You’re hilarious.
