Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez Paints His Hometown Red

[Boricua181]

Canelo won the fight, but John Ryder fought his heart out, and made Canelo super uncomfortable in the latter round's.
Canelo actually looked like he didn't want to be in that type of fight, like I said in those latter round's which Ryder won.
It was a damn good fight put on by both of these fighter's, they deserve a standing (rousing) round of applause for sure.

I get not being a Canelo fan. People like who they like. But a hater? I'm sorry, I find that difficult to understand. The guy's been fighting since he was a teenager, and clearly loves the sport. The dude learned English to be able to converse with more fans. He regularly challenges himself, as he did with Mayweather, GGG, and Bivol. Although Ryder won't go down in history as a hall of famer, he was a mandatory, and far from a light touch.

Canelo has a definite confidence, such as you would expect from any high level fighter, but he's never appeared to be an arrogant braggart. He takes his losses like a man, and comes back swinging.

So, I just don't get it. Canelo is a special fighter in that when he's up, it's not just a fight, it's an *event. He's always in shape. He's never given up. He wins most of the time, and a lot of it in very fan friendly fashion. People are going to miss him when he's gone, and it'd be nice if for once, boxing fans would just appreciate what they have while they have it.

But what do I know. I've only been watching boxing for over 30 years.

Ryder looks like he was hit by a truck. Yikes.

What do you expect with a ****ty fighter like Ryder. Canelo picked him and he was brought in to lose every round exactly like he did.

[Boxing Scene]

Canelo fans acting like Ryder is the second coming of Mayweather and that he's some kind of hero for losing every round to Canelo. Just like when they said Canelo was too young against Mayweather. Let's be honest. Canelo never beats Mayweather unless he ages him like he did GGG.

Typical hater. Deep down you wish you were Canelo. Let me guess, you were a Mayweather fanboy, the king of boredom. Guess what, Mexicans and Brits give the fans good fights, none of that running, hugging, pot shots you dummies are used to.

What a long-winded, boring puff piece - for an equal boring fight and overrated fighter.

Cory Erdman - outstanding writing - as usual. A very very observant person who then weaves his observations into illuminating prose.

Historic entrance one of the best of recent times.
