Canelo Alvarez<\/a> returned home and remained the undisputed super middleweight champion, beating John Ryder by unanimous decision before more than 50,000 fans in his first fight in Mexico since 2011.<\/p>\n

Alvarez bloodied the British challenger's nose and knocked him down, cruising to the victory by scores of 120-107 on one card and 118-109 on the other two to improve to 59-2-2.<\/p>\n

Ryder had his four-bout winning streak stopped and is 32-6.<\/p>\n

It was Canelo's first fight since he had surgery on his left wrist in March.<\/p>\n

Before the fight, he said the injury slowed him down in his previous four fights, including his loss to light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol a year ago.<\/p>\n

\"Canelo<\/p>\n

After getting a hard-fought victory over Ryder, Canelo has his eyes set on a rematch against the Russian in September.<\/p>\n

In a fight that was touted as the \u201cking is coming home\u201d, the sold-out crowd at Akron Stadium in Guadalajara – just 25 miles away from Juanacatlan, the small town where Canelo grew up – screamed deliriously during the whole fight.<\/p>\n

Alvarez and Ryder started a slow-paced fight in the first two rounds, but Canelo connected with a straight right and Ryder started bleeding from the nose after the third round.<\/p>\n

The Mexican kept pressing the action in the fourth round, landing body shots, and then sent Ryder to the mat with a right hook to the chin.<\/p>\n

Ryder made Canelo uncomfortable in the fifth and landed a few shots on the face of the Mexican, but Alvarez landed another right in the ninth. Ryder stumbled, but rallied and answered with a shot that shook the Mexican.<\/p>\n

Ryder, with a bloodied face, closed the fight well in the last two rounds, but was not enough to get the upset.<\/p>\n
