American coach Teddy Atlas spoke about the upcoming fight of the undisputed world champion in super middleweight Saul Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs) vs. interim WBO champion John Ryder (32-5, 18 KO), which will be held in Mexico.

“I think Canelo is getting older. He turned professional when he was 15 or 16 years old. He has more than 60 fights behind him, and the guy is only 32 years old.

If you look at the last battle, you might think that he is 82 years old. He has been performing for a long time. Now I see how he is losing a little.

I don't know if John Ryder has enough skills even now, but I can say one thing: he is left-handed. Perhaps this will give him an edge in their fight. At the same time, John is a stocky and strong guy. He likes to act aggressively, but he does not rush his opponent recklessly. The rider can cause problems for Alvarez, ”Boxing News 24 quotes Atlas.
