The Mexican sent his opponent to the platform four times, and as a result, the Englishman’s coach stopped the fight
Undefeated Mexican boxer Jaime Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) defeated the British by technical knockout John Ryder (32-7, 18 KOs) and defended the title WBC Silver in the second middle weight.
The Mexican had the advantage throughout the fight. Already in the second round, Ryder was knocked down. Munguia sent his opponent to the floor again in the fourth round, and twice more in the ninth. As a result, the British coach stopped the fight.
Munguia viewed the fight with Ryder as preparation for a future fight with undisputed world champion Saul Alvarez. The WBO, which is ready to appoint Jaime as the mandatory challenger for Canelo’s belt, warned that a title fight is unlikely to be held before the end of 2024 and advised organizing preliminary fights to maintain shape.
Munguia defeated Ukrainian Sergey Derevyanchenko in his previous fight. At the end of 12 rounds, all three referees gave the victory to the Mexican boxer.
