Where Ryder is concerned, the Brit comes into the fight on a record of 32-6 with 18 KOs, following a loss to Mexican icon Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in Guadalajara. What’s interesting to note is that although the 35-year-old was floored in round five before finally losing by unanimous decision, it was clear that the Mexican public had taken a liking to him after a brave and daring performance. Indeed, we have to imagine that the way in which he endeared himself to fight fans down south likely played a role in his being chosen as the man that Munguia will face. Speaking of Munguia, at 42-0 with 33 KOs, it’s clear that the Mexican knows his way around the canvas. Ironically, there were doubts about his ability to cut it just last year. Fortunately, the 27-year-old was able to overcome his Ukrainian opponent, Sergiy Derevyanchenko, in a bout that many are calling Fight of the Year contender. This is all to say, we’ve got an intriguing battle on our hands this weekend.
