Ese tama\u00f1o del cuadril\u00e1tero m\u00e1s peque\u00f1o probablemente habr\u00eda sido una ventaja para \u00c1lvarez porque es un golpeador m\u00e1s grande y un peleador m\u00e1s agresivo y quiere que Saunders tenga el menor espacio posible para moverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saunders, quien ha boxeado principalmente en rings de 20 pies en el Reino Unido, y su padre hab\u00edan realizado varias entrevistas, principalmente con medios brit\u00e1nicos, afirmando que se retirar\u00eda de la pelea si no consegu\u00eda un ring que le fuera satisfactorio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No se especific\u00f3 el tama\u00f1o del cuadril\u00e1tero en el contrato, dijo a The Ring una fuente con conocimiento del acuerdo, sino que sus dimensiones estaban sujetas al Departamento de Licencias y Regulaciones de Texas, que supervisa los deportes de combate en el estado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En las reglas de TDLR, los est\u00e1ndares de tama\u00f1o del ring se tratan espec\u00edficamente. Un ring de boxeo no puede tener menos de 16 pies y no m\u00e1s de 24 pies dentro de las cuerdas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seg\u00fan la fuente, Saunders estaba dispuesto a conformarse con un ring de 22 pies con el lado de \u00c1lvarez ofreci\u00e9ndose a pelear en un combate de 20 pies por un combate que pocos cre\u00edan que estaba leg\u00edtimamente en peligro por el tema, especialmente considerando que Saunders est\u00e1 en l\u00ednea para el mayor. bolsa de su carrera por varios millones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Independientemente del tama\u00f1o del anillo en el que est\u00e9n de acuerdo, Saunders dijo en su video que el problema se ha resuelto, pero es probable que las partes tengan que firmarlo oficialmente. Hearn deb\u00eda llegar a Arlington el martes por la noche y piensa que ser\u00e1 una de sus primeras \u00f3rdenes del d\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00abNo me importa el tama\u00f1o del ring\u00bb, dijo \u00c1lvarez el martes. \u00abVoy a entrar all\u00ed y hacer mi trabajo. No es la \u00fanica excusa que ha tenido. Ha tenido muchas excusas. La pelea va a suceder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTiene que pelear el s\u00e1bado. La pelea va a suceder. Eso no es un problema.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Las excusas a las que se refer\u00eda \u00c1lvarez son las quejas de Saunders sobre los jueces y si le dar\u00e1n una sacudida justa si la pelea llega a la distancia y sus afirmaciones de que Hearn, quien los promueve a \u00e9l y a \u00c1lvarez, est\u00e1 favoreciendo a este \u00faltimo, lo que Hearn niega.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Si Saunders se retirara de la pelea, el contendiente brit\u00e1nico de peso s\u00faper mediano John Ryder (29-5, 16 KOs) probablemente recibir\u00eda la llamada para intervenir como reemplazo. Ryder, quien ha estado entrenando para una pelea de junio contra el campe\u00f3n secundario David Morrell, ya se dirig\u00eda a Texas para la pelea antes de que surgiera la situaci\u00f3n del ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00abSiempre ten\u00eda que ir a Dallas\u00bb, dijo Ryder a Sky Sports. \u201cEddie quer\u00eda que saliera y promocionara un poco mi pr\u00f3xima pelea en junio, as\u00ed que siempre estaba saliendo. Pero quiero decir, si \u00e9l me llama, empacar\u00e9 el protector de goma y el protector. Escuche, lo har\u00eda fuera del pub un s\u00e1bado por la noche gratis, as\u00ed que ponga un poco de motivaci\u00f3n financiera detr\u00e1s, definitivamente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sportseco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Canelo-Saunders-770x513-1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-108017\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After much tumult in recent days culminating with WBO super middleweight world titlist Billy Joe Saunders threatening to pull out his unification fight with Canelo Alvarez over the size of the boxing ring, the issue was settled on Tuesday, according to Saunders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI just want to say the issue is sorted because, as you can see, I tagged [Matchroom Boxing promoter] Eddie Hearn and Canelo in the last video and the ring is not a problem, so thumbs are up,\u201d Saunders said in a 17-second video he posted to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/saundersbillyjoe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">his Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was in bed and gave the thumbs up sign, then added, \u201cChilling back, watching a few films and, Eddie, get the ring in, mate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saunders is slated to face The Ring and WBA\/WBC world champion Alvarez in an effort to further unify the 168-pound division on Saturday (DAZN, 8 p.m. ET) at AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where a crowd of perhaps 70,000 will be on hand for the most significant fight so far in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saunders (30-0, 14 knockouts), 31, of England, however, plunged the promotion into fight week chaos when he and his father Tom Saunders said he would pull out of the fight unless he got his way about the size of the ring in which they will box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a fighter who relies on movement, the southpaw Saunders wanted a 24-foot ring, so he could have plenty of space to do his thing while Alvarez (55-1-2, 37 KOs), 30, of Mexico, was looking forward to an 18-foot ring that was slated to be set up. That smaller ring size would have likely been to Alvarez\u2019s advantage because he is a bigger puncher and a more aggressive fighter and he wants Saunders to have as little room to move as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saunders, who has boxed primarily in 20-foot rings in the United Kingdom, and his father had done various interviews, mainly with British media, claiming he would pull out of the fight if he did not get a ring that was satisfactory to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No ring size was specified in the contract, a source with knowledge of the agreement told The Ring, but rather its dimensions were subject to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which oversees combat sports in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the TDLR\u2019s rules, ring size standards are specifically addressed. A boxing ring can be no fewer than 16 feet and no more than 24 feet inside the ropes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the source, Saunders was willing to settle for a 22-foot ring with Alvarez\u2019s side offering to fight in a 20-footer for a bout few believed was legitimately in jeopardy over the issue, especially considering that Saunders is in line for the biggest purse of his career by multiple millions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever size ring on which they agree, Saunders said in his video that the issue has been settled but the sides will likely have to sign off on it officially. Hearn was due to arrive in Arlington on Tuesday night and figures to make it one of his first orders of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t care about the size of the ring,\u201d Alvarez said Tuesday. \u201cI\u2019m just gonna go in there and do my job. It\u2019s not the only excuse he\u2019s had. He\u2019s had plenty of excuses. The fight\u2019s going to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe has to fight Saturday. The fight is going to happen. That\u2019s not a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The excuses to which Alvarez was referring are Saunders\u2019 complaints about the judges and whether they will give him a fair shake if the fight goes the distance and his claims that Hearn, who promotes him and Alvarez, is favoring the latter, which Hearn denies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Saunders did withdraw from the fight, British super middleweight contender John Ryder (29-5, 16 KOs) would likely get the call to step in as a replacement. Ryder, who has been in training for a June bout versus secondary titlist David Morrell, was already headed to Texas for the fight before the ring situation arose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was always due to go out to Dallas,\u201d Ryder told Sky Sports. \u201cEddie wanted me to get out there and do a bit of promotion for my up and coming fight in June, so I was always heading out there. But I mean, if he gives me the call, I\u2019ll pack the gum shield and protector. Listen, I\u2019d do it outside the pub on a Saturday night for free, so put a bit of financial motivation behind it, definitely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ringtv.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despu\u00e9s de mucho tumulto en los \u00faltimos d\u00edas que culmin\u00f3 con el campe\u00f3n mundial s\u00faper mediano de la OMB, Billy Joe Saunders, amenazando con retirar su pelea de unificaci\u00f3n con Canelo \u00c1lvarez por el tama\u00f1o del ring de boxeo, el problema se resolvi\u00f3 el martes, seg\u00fan Saunders. \u00abSolo quiero decir que el problema est\u00e1 resuelto [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-108016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-boxeo"],"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportseco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportseco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportseco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportseco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportseco.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=108016"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sportseco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108016\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108018,"href":"https:\/\/sportseco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108016\/revisions\/108018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportseco.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=108016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportseco.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=108016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportseco.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=108016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
