On the morning of February 13, 2022, Beijing time, in a super-middleweight professional boxing match (WBA World Champion Qualifier) held at Alexandra Palace in Mount Moussville, London, England, former World Champion Challenger John Ryder played well, and after 12 rounds of fierce fighting, he defeated former middleweight World Champion Daniel Jacobs in a divergent way to win the most important match of his career.
Before the match, which was broadcast live by DAZN, Daniel Jacobs, who had won two world champion titles in the middleweights, was a big hit, and even the organizer of the event, Eddie Herne, said bluntly that he would arrange a world champion battle for Daniel Jacobs as soon as the match was over.
In the first half of the game, Daniel Jacobs did play better, whether it was a jab, a punch, a move or a heavy blow, which was much stronger than John Ryder, the ground snake. It's not that John Ryder doesn't want to fight back, but he's moving slowly, so he can only choose to fight back rather than take the initiative after Daniel Jacobs attacks him.
In the first two rounds of the game, Daniel Jacobs had a very smooth start, and did not let John Ryder get close to him except for his own opportunities.
In the third to fifth rounds of the match, John Ryder wanted to fight back, but because he could not keep up with Daniel Jacobs, he could only keep up with Daniel Jacobs's punch rhythm, and after being hit, he counterattacked with a 1-2 punch.
In the sixth round of the game, knowing that he was too far behind in the previous few rounds, John Ryder, who was not long in footsteps and stabbing, had to increase the speed of movement and blows. It can also be seen that although Daniel Jacobs had a clear advantage in the first few rounds, his heavy punch did not seem to cause much damage to John Ryder.
In the seventh leg of the match, the situation of the game changed significantly, and the reason was that Daniel Jacobs's physical fitness had dropped significantly. In terms of punches, Daniel Jacobs has decreased both in strength and frequency; in terms of movement, Daniel Jacobs's movement has lost the agility of the previous rounds. John Ryder hasn't been affected yet, so the game went from being able to fight back before John Ryder to being able to swap with Daniel Jacobs. Because John Ryder's fists were significantly heavier, John Ryder gradually gained the upper hand from the beginning of this round, but an originally high-tech game also turned into two strong men fighting each other.
In the eighth and ninth rounds of the match, although John Ryder's punches and movements still looked a bit clumsy, his heavy punches were more pronounced. Daniel Jacobs' several moves were clearly forced to react after being hit by a heavy punch.
From round 10 to round 12, John Ryder's fitness also began to decline, so the exchange between the two sides also became more and more. At this point, John Ryder's strength advantage was becoming more apparent, and in the same exchange, Daniel Jacobs was also hurting more.
In the end, the twelve rounds of the game were all over, and Jean-Robert Lane and Mike Fitzgerald gave the same 115-113 score among the three on-site referees, determining that John Ryder had a narrow victory. Another referee, Marcus Macdonald, did the opposite, giving a 115-113 score, though he decided it was Daniel Jacobs who won. John Ryder defeated the powerful Daniel Jacobs 2-1 to win the game.
Throughout the game, Daniel Jacobs did play better in the first half, and the technical advantage was more obvious, but his fist was too lethal to bring effective damage to John Ryder. In the second half of the game, John Ryder clearly pulled back the disadvantage and played enough offensive combinations. It turns out that John Ryder can also play decent technique (albeit somewhat incoherently) when forced to do so as a last resort.
After winning the game, the 33-year-old John Ryder's professional record rose to 31 wins and 5 losses, 17 KO opponents. Even happier, John Ryder was given a second chance to challenge the WBA SuperWeight World Champion. In 2019, John Ryder sadly lost to compatriot Callum Smith when he first challenged for the WBA Superweight World Champion title, but his performance at the time still impressed boxing fans.
This time, after winning the WBA Superweight World Champion Challenge, John Ryder set his sights on the pan-middleweight first man, Sur Avarez. John Ryder's coach, Tony Sims, said in a post-match interview: "I hope John Ryder can play against Sur Avarez at Wembley Stadium once, you all know that Sur Avarez has always wanted to play in England. But unfortunately, he has not had a suitable opponent before. Now he can play Against John Ryder. ”
Then again, I think the odds of a match between John Ryder and Sur Avarez are slim because John Ryder's market presence is almost negligible compared to Dimitri Biwall and Gennady Golovkin, who are already in contact with Sur Avarez. Moreover, I have a hunch that Daniel Jacobs should seek a second-world war with John Ryder. So, Sur Avarez was a beautiful dream for John Ryder.
