Munguia Vs. Ryder Pre-Fight Presser – Key Quotes
Jaime Munguia and John Ryder held their final pre-fight presser ahead of their fight on Saturday live from the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
The super middleweight clash takes place with much on the line. Munguia knows a win over Ryder brings him closer to securing a potential Canelo Alvarez bout. This will be his third fight at 168, showing he has enough time to settle in the weight class.
But Ryder will be no pushover since he went the distance with Canelo in Mexico in his last fight. Ryder has the chance to upset the odds, but he may need a knockout to beat the home fighter. Here are the key quotes from the presser.
