Comments Thread For: John Ryder's Trainer: He Won't Be Going On The Back Foot; He'll Be Standing In Front Of Canelo

this isnt the limp wrist canelo that lost to floyd and bivol, its no coincidence that canelo played a lot of golf before the fights he lost, he got golfers wrist

Canelo better hope he gets Ryder out of there early then. 5000 ft isn't going to benefit Canelo either.

he grew up there and he lives there some of the time - has a huge mansion there

He still trains the majority of the time in San Diego and hasn't had a fight close to that elevation since his fight in Mexico City against Cintron. If the elevation helped, it surely hasn't shown.

'that's because Ryder can't box off the back foot, so it's more a lack of ability than strategic move'

Ryder is more or less the same build as Canelo. If you're 168 & 5'9 boxing off the back foot would be, shall we say, an unorthodox approach. Ryder will come forward because he can't do anything else but he does have reasonable head & upper body movement & a fair jab, plus he is strong as a gorilla, hence his nickname.

TBH, I think Ryde is going to make Canelo look good. They will exchange at mid range & Canelo fires a better range of punches, faster & harder. Canelo around r6-8
