For the first time since 2011, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will be fighting in his home country of Mexico. This time around, Canelo is putting his undisputed super middleweight title on the line against John Ryder in Guadalajara. The superstar has never lost a fight on home turf (33-0-1 in Mexico), and will no doubt be putting on a show for his home turf fans.
But Ryder — the current WBO interim super-middleweight champion — is far from a slouch, making this weekend’s fight an exciting one. Below, we’ve outlined how to watch Canelo vs. Ryder online, as well as key fight details like start time, odds, and undercard matches.
