Read our privacy policy The full scorecards from Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez’s compelling victory over John Ryder have been released and show just how dominant the Mexican icon was against his British rival. Ryder earned huge respect as he lasted a full 12 rounds against Alvarez, despite being knocked down in the fifth, with most pre-fight predictions suggesting the Brit would be knocked out. Judge Jeremy Hayes gave every single round to the man defending his belts, although his card has come in for some criticism with most of the boxing world generally agreeing that Ryder won a couple of the later rounds in the fight. The other two judges, Gerardo Martinez and Joe Pasquale, both gave the underdog two of the 12 rounds to end with scorecards reading 118-109, having also awarded Canelo the fifth 10-8 thanks to the knockdown.
