Alvarez on Ryder fight: 'I'm very pleased'

Absolute world champion in super middleweight Saul Alvarez shared his impressions of his fight against the British John Ryder.

“Certainly, I was charged for a knockout. I always strive for it, but this is boxing. In the end, sometimes you can't do it. Ryder is a very strong fighter who gave his all and trained all his life. He was able to recover quickly. In addition, Ryder is also left-handed, so he got hits to the head, and you have to be careful. So you have to beware of blows to the head and things like that.

But to be honest, I'm very pleased, because it was a great fight. This is what I wanted,” Alvarez said at a press conference.

Recall that on the night of May 7, Alvarez defeated Ryder by unanimous decision.
