What dangers does John Ryder pose for Canelo Alvarez?
Watch Canelo vs. Ryder live May 6 on DAZN

John Ryder could produce one of boxing's great upsets when he takes on Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez for the undisputed super middleweight title on Saturday night. 

The fight, which can be seen live on DAZN and DAZN PPV, is an opportunity Ryder has fought tooth and nail for during a career full of highs and lows, but with the fight taking place in Mexico against someone who has a flawless record when it comes to British challengers, many believe 'The Gorilla' will struggle to emerge victorious in Guadalajara. 

However, DAZN Boxing analyst Sergio Mora explained how Ryder can cause problems for Alvarez on JABS. 

"John Ryder is a legitimate super middleweight, he hasn’t been fluctuating," Mora said.

"The stature, the strength and then comes the style. He’s really good at fighting small.

"He’s a southpaw, he doesn’t do much with the footwork but he’s good with his upper body movement.

"He throws great body shots that make you keep your elbows tucked in, so you have to have explosive combinations which Canelo has.

"There’s going to be some tricky moments for Canelo, I don’t think it’s going to be six rounds or under.

"I think Canelo still gets the knockout maybe, but you’re going to see some difficulty in the first six to eight rounds because John Ryder is that good and I don’t think he gets blasted out of there."
