Comments Thread For: Hearn: John Ryder Showed He is World-Class, He Deserves Massive Respect

[786]

Ryder's a tough, game guy but he was thoroughly beaten and outclassed by a seemingly past-prime Canelo. I thought the same with the Jacobs fight but he did a little better, didn't take as much of a beating and I gave him a couple more rounds in that. He got the gift decision but that win is massively flattering considering no one really thought he won.

I definitely wouldn't go as far as "world-class" but he's a tough guy with a lot of heart that can cause some problems for the top guys but ultimately will fall short.

Maybe Canelo just isn’t what you think he is?

So this forgone conclusion that was a homecoming love fest for Canelo is over. The forgone conclusion that is a Bivol rematch at 175 is next sometime in September. Which means the two fights we are actually interested in seeing (Beterbiev-Bivol, Canelo-Benavidez) are basically non-starters for the foreseeable future.

Man, it has to be 5 o'clock somewhere.....
