During the live preview of Canelo vs. Ryder, the boxing experts got into a discussion about the results of Alvarez’s homecoming bout. The experts’ table was joined by the $5 million worth female boxer, Jessica McCaskill, who gave her opinions about the fight. Amidst the heat of the conversation, a bet of $20 was offered by McCaskill about Alvarez getting knocked by John Ryder. The bout will go on for 12 rounds, and the fans can expect anything to happen as the Englishman has little to “no neck” to get attacked on.

McCaskill made some bold claims as she provides her expertise on the fight between Canelo Alvarez and John Ryder. Now, the astounding defense of Canelo Alvarez is not something that can be ignored, so there were experts who disagreed with the jarring claims of the World Welterweight Champion. Notably, British boxer, Conor Benn also put out his predictions for Canelo vs. Ryder.

Among the table of four experts, two of them showed immense belief in the might of Ryder. One of the experts called them the ‘co-promoters of John Ryder’ and asked them whether they’d be surprised to see Ryder going the distance with Canelo Alvarez in the 12 rounds bout, and if the rounds are almost evenly won by both fighters.

McCaskill took the question, as she was following the underdog storyline with Ryder. She said, “I wanna say this, cuz y’all gonna fall out your chairs, so I hope y’all just buckle it. I see, I’m telling you, John Ryder almost has, like, no neck. This man is like, if he knocks, let’s do this, if he knocks Canelo down, somebody owes me $20.” This is hilarious as McCaskill has a huge net worth and is still offered a meager $20 for her bet.
