Canelo Alvarez vs. John Ryder
Alvarez suffered a hand injury before his loss to Dmitry Bivol and he didn’t get the hand fixed until after he beat Gennady Golovkin. Alvarez said he is now fully recovered and back to normal. "Very well (without injuries), that motivates me a lot, I am available to train at 100%, to hit with my left hand, before with the experience there you go out training, fights with only one hand, but now having the opportunity to be at 100% motivates me a lot.” Alvarez said to the media, “The left hand normally, out of every ten punches you throw six, you need a lot. I feel very good, strong, eager, and motivated, which is very important in my career.”
Alvarez also said he wants a rematch against Bivol. “No, it's not a fact yet, but my mentality is on that and we'll see after this fight, everything depends on this one, we'll sit down and talk about that fight, but that's the one I want for September," he said to the media, "I want to fight at 175 pounds, the same terms as the last fight, we haven't sat down to talk yet, that's my idea."
