John Ryder, 35, has fought against some of the most popular fighters in the world and although he put up a good fight against Canelo Alvarez last May, it wasn’t enough for a rematch. With a record of 32 wins and 6 losses, Ryder may not get another big opportunity in his career. His upcoming fight against Jaime Munguia this weekend is crucial, as it could lead to more significant chances if he manages to cause an upset in Phoenix on Saturday night.
“I’m confident this fight will be a contender for Fight of the Year in 2024,” said Ryder, expressing his confidence in the upcoming bout. He acknowledged Munguia’s impressive 42-0 record and the opportunity that lies ahead for him if he can secure a victory. Ryder emphasized his goal of being part of the biggest and best fights possible, regardless of the potential challenges.
Ryder respects Munguia as a formidable opponent, recognizing his skills and the vulnerabilities he displayed in his previous fight. Munguia narrowly secured a win against Sergiy Derevyanchenko, indicating that he is not invincible. Ryder also highlighted Munguia’s recent change in trainers to Freddie Roach and the potential impact it may have on his performance. The fight between Jaime Munguia and John Ryder will be broadcast live on DAZN this Saturday night at 9pm ET.
