I pray that Canelo takes Ryder seriously and comes in top condition.
Canelo should be fighting Benavides, I think vanilla can be Benavides but he’s slightly frightened of him, Benavides is good and hard and tall, but Canelo can beat them boxing versus boxing
Canelo by a knockout he needs a knockout
If Ryder is in top condition it might be a good fight, however, if Canelo is in top top shape I think he will end it all in 6 or 7th round. Whatever, the case I think it will be a great fight.
Nice site!! Love it!!
