This is a homecoming for Alvarez and Ryder does not provide the exact same level of threat as Golovkin, even a 40-year-old Golovkin. That indicates Alvarez will not need to keep back and play it safe the exact same method he performed in his latest fight.Ryder did do a great task against Smith, pressing the then-champion around a bit even as the smaller sized guy. Alvarez will be the somewhat much shorter guy against Ryder, however he’s really strong and has the ability to use his strength along with practically anybody in the video game.Ryder will not have the ability to muscle Alvarez around, nor will he be the more hazardous puncher, nor will he be the much better technical fighter.
