Return Saul “Canelo” Alvarez to their lands was somewhat bittersweet. The unified champion, as expected, surpassed the British John Ryder in a good performance in the ring, but failed to knock him outwhat he promised his audience.
At the Akron Stadium in Guadalajara, more than 50,000 people witnessed the Guadalajara man defeat the Ryder fighter by decision of the judges, who always bravely looked for a redoubt to take down Canelo.
Despite this new win, the number 59 is for the Mexican, ill-wishers made negative judgments through social networks, one of them is his main critic, controversial journalist David Feitelson, the other is also
On Twitter, Feitelson revealed that with the level required in his latest lawsuit, Canelo will not be able to face Dimitri Bivol in a long-awaited rematch, not to mention the meeting with the “Mexican monster” David Benavidez., who is pursuing the unified super middleweight title. He even questioned the boxer’s “hunger” to continue making history.
“This version of Canelo Alvarez doesn’t beat Dimitri Bivol or David Benavidez (…) Maybe with this amount of money, Canelo’s hunger disappeared or its natural decline began. We saw a tired boxer who lacks rhythm and few resources.”

Similarly, Oscar de la Hoya, who has a difficult relationship with Canelo Alvarez after both split in 2021, believed the Guadalajara man far from equaling the feat of the “great Mexican champion” Julio Cesar Chavez..
Another Mexican boxing analyst such as Jorge Eduardo Sanchez also lamented that Saul Alvarez did not capture the attention of boxing fans: “Little resources, little creativity.”
More cautious was the criticism of Jose Ramon Fernandez, who lauded Canelo Alvarez’s victory in his new return to Mexico, but did not hide the shortcomings seen in the ring last Saturday.
