Saul “Canelo” Alvarez defends super-middleweight title with relative ease (Video)

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez proved once again why many believe he is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, defeating John Ryder with a one-sided unanimous decision (120-107, 118-109 x2).

Alvarez had hinted at retirement with a loss to Ryder, but the Guadalajara, Mexico, crowd’s reaction revealed anything but skepticism.

It was mastery at its finest from a champion with a lot to prove, and for some, to add to a fitting chapter in a legendary career.

The fight, which aired on DAZN, went as many oddsmakers predicted it. Alvarez, who lost on Cinco De Mayo weekend in 2022, had little to no trouble with the skilled and experienced Ryder. Though Ryder hung tough through five rounds, his breathing became a major factor and a 1-2 combination from Alvarez nearly brought the soccer stadium crowd to its feet in jubila

Canelo Álvarez Says He Wants Dimitry Bivol Rematch After John Ryder Bout

Canelo Álvarez has a fight with John Ryder coming up in less than a month, but he already knows who he wants next.

Álvarez said he is determined to have a rematch against Dmitry Bivol later this year.

“Everybody knows I want that rematch with Bivol,” Alvarez told TMZ Sports. “That’s my goal this year. We’ll see, but that’s my goal this year.”

Bivol dominated Álvarez in a unanimous-decision victory at light heavyweight last May. Many expected Álvarez to breeze right past Bivol and capture the WBA championship, but instead, the jump from super middleweight to light heavyweight proved daunting.

While there has been some speculation a rematch would happen at 168 pounds, Álvarez has made it clear in no uncertain terms he needs to prove himself at light heavyweight.

Ahead of his upcoming defense of his unified super middleweight titles, pound-for-pound boxing star Canelo Alvarez is already eyeing future opponents.

Alvarez, who is set to face WBO interim champion John Ryder on May 6, confirmed to reporters on Wednesday that he is planning for a rematch against WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol in September. He added that if he’s not able to run it back against Bivol, he’s open to facing super middleweight contender David Benavidez.

The interest from Alvarez in another shot at Bivol (21-0, 11 KOs) should come as no surprise following his upset unanimous-decision loss last May, which was just the second defeat of his career. Alvarez (58-2, 39 KOs) expressed his desire for a rematch immediatel

5 Best Fights for David Benavidez After Win vs. Caleb Plant

It’s a big stretch for the super middleweights.

Just more than a week after pay-per-view stalwart—and undisputed 168-pound champion—Canelo Álvarez announced he’d be returning to the ring in early May, two fighters hoping to be next on his dance card this summer met atop their own PPV show in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Top contenders David Benavidez and Caleb Plant, who’ve combined for eight title-fight wins across three belted reigns in the weight class, were at the MGM Grand as the main eventers in a card carried live from the desert by Showtime and PPV.com.

Benavidez emerged victorious by punishing decision and put himself at the front of the line for a date with the Mexican superstar, but the B/R combat sports team surveyed the entire competitive landscape available to the unbeaten 26-year-old just in case things don’t come together.

Take a look at what we came up with and drop a take or two of your own in the comments.

Canelo Álvarez

1 of 5

Alfredo Moya/Jam Media/Getty Images

Let’s start with the most desirable option, shall we?

Given his 27-0 record and two reigns as the WBC’s champion, not to mention his newly certified status as the organization’s mandatory challenger to full-fledged claimant, it’s no surprise that Canelo Álvarez has been on Benavidez’s wish list.

He pulled no punches in a recent chat with Everything Boxing, suggesting that Álvarez, who’s been the WBC champ since 2020, needs to go ahead and sign for a fight with him or relinquish the throne if he’s decided against the matchup.

Incidentally, for tales of the tape purposes, Benavidez stands 6’2″ to Álvarez’s 5’8″ and has a 74.5-inch reach compared to Álvarez’s 70.5. Álvarez is 7-0 with four KOs from 160 to 168 pounds, including an 11th-round KO of Plant in November 2021.

“Now, this fight [with Plant], the winner is the mandatory for Canelo. That’s what it has to be. If he doesn’t want to fight me, then he has to vacate the belt,” he said. “I feel it’ll be a big opportunity to miss because the fans want to see this fight. It’s a big fight, and may the best man win.”

David Morrell

It wouldn’t be entirely off base to call David Morrell a prodigy.

He still just 25 years old and has only eight professional fights after an extensive amateur career in which he fought 132 times and won a youth world championship representing Cuba in 2016. But even in a limited time, he’s picked up some street cred.

He turned pro with a first-round KO in Minneapolis in 2019 and had only four wins under his belt before picking up the WBA’s admittedly dubious second-tier “world” title—Álvarez holds the full-fledged crown—with another first-round stoppage in 2021.

Three more fights have yielded three more KOs across three more “title defenses” lasting a combined 20 rounds, lifting Morrell’s still fledgling record to 8-0 with 7 KOs.

The Ring has him fourth among Álvarez’s ranked contenders—trailing Benavidez, Plant and imminent May opponent John Ryder—and the 6’1″ southpaw with a 78.5-inch reach is already well-rehearsed in proclaiming his elite status.

“I still have many things to conquer in the division,” he told BoxingScene in 2021. “The truth is that I am the best, but not legally because I do not have all the titles. At the moment I am among the four [champions], from there to [No.] 1 there is little left.”

If you’re looking for heat, look at Jermall Charlo.
