John Ryder, unconcerned about scorecards for Jaime Munguia fight, says: “I think we’re going to get a fair crack of the whip”

AFTER his gutsy displaying in opposition to Canelo Alvarez final 12 months, the repute of John Ryder reached new heights, in flip which means his title was linked to extra huge fights.

He could not have gotten the win in opposition to the super-middleweight champion, however a bloodied Ryder recovered from being dropped in spherical 5 and fought to the very finish. While the outcome was hardly ever doubtful the Brit stood tall and emerged with nice credit score.

On January 27, Ryder will likely be in America for one other high-profile task, this time in opposition to Jaime Munguia.

“I want to continue operating at this level against big-name operators,” Ryder informed Boxing News. “This is ideal for me. If I’d had a listing of 5 names, he would have been prime or thereabouts. He wants to beat me to assure himself a shot at Canelo and I want to beat him to maintain going; to maintain my desires alive.

“He’s gonna be tough,” Ryder added. “He doesn’t know how to lose yet, and I’ve got to go there and stick it to him. I’ve got to show him the levels, as such. Show him what it’s like to be in there with Canelo and use all this knowledge I’ve gained; all this frustration I’ve gained through the years of close fights not going my way. I’ve got to go in there and leave it all in the ring.”

A pure concern for any away fighter travelling from abroad is getting a fair shake on the scorecards. For many, Ryder’s quick journey to Liverpool, the place he misplaced to Callum Smith in November 2019, was an instance of unfair scoring from the judges ringside. This time Ryder will likely be 1000’s of miles away in Phoenix, Arizona.

“I think we saw a fair scorecard (in Munguia’s fight) against [Sergiy] Derevyanchenko.” Ryder mentioned. “I think it was just about down to the final spherical and I think Munguia pulled it out in that final spherical, dropping him and swinging it in his favour.

“It’s all very well saying we’re going to Mexico or the U.S but it’s all on the same platform; it’s all on DAZN. It’s going out to every country. It’s not like some unknown channel in Russia no-one’s gonna see. I think we’re going to get a fair crack of the whip. And that’s all I hope that we get a fair crack of the whip and that the fight is judged fairly.”
