Canelo Alvarez has something to prove. And he's ready to show the critics -- and Jermell Charlo -- why he's still a top fighter.
Ryder is a solid if unspectacular fighter, and he proved to be tough as nails as he absorbed a broken nose and a knockdown during the 12-round beating. But the Englishman held his own in exchanges with Alvarez and left the Mexican star with a marked face.
Alvarez was rehabbing his surgically repaired hand ahead of the clash with Ryder and that meant he couldn't train as intensely as he liked. Now confident his lead weapon is 100%, Alvarez has amplified his training regimen ahead of Saturday's fight with Charlo. "We have left behind the injuries and all the setbacks that we had before," said Reynoso in remarks translated from Spanish."Now we're 100 percent and ... we're going to prove to you just how motivated we are by giving the fans a great show, a great fight."
Canelo Alvarez, right, said that Jermell Charlo never believed in his skill and that he's going to prove him wrong. Charlo is in his prime, a 33-year-old resident of Houston, and the undisputed junior middleweight champion. He's skilled and has an explosive counterpunch. Charlo has defeated every fighter he's ever faced, with stoppage wins in rematches with Tony Harrison and Brian Castano.
