JAIME MUNGUIA battered John Ryder into submission before calling out Canelo Alvarez to a Mexican standoff.
The former light-middleweight world champion had Ryder down FOUR times before it was stopped in round nine.

And Munguia had only one man on his mind following the demolition job in Phoenix.
He said: “It would be a great fight among Mexicans. And if Canelo gives us the chance, it will be an honour to be in the same ring as him.”
Ryder, beaten by Canelo over 12 rounds last May, was down for the first time in the second round following a right hand.
In the fourth, he was hammered into the ropes and soon put down again, this time with a short countering left hand.
Ryder, 35, fought back but in round nine he was twice floored and stopped on his feet.
It leaves the brave Brit on the brink of retirement while Munguia, 27, scored one of the most impressive wins of his career.
He said: “I prepared for this. I worked hard, I know they don’t trust me and here are the results.
“I’m ready, here at 168. Ryder is a great fighter, I learned a lot and I’m going forward.

“He is a very strong fighter, I had to be very careful, he has a very hard head, but now I feel very happy.”
Promoter Oscar de la Hoya added: “Jaime did what Canelo couldn’t do. He knocked out the Gorilla.
“I’m very proud because Munguia has evolved.”
