Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KOs) acknowledged Munguia’s impressive record (43-0, 34 KOs) and the challenger’s aggressive fighting style, which poses a challenge to him.
Munguia’s high-volume punching and fast-paced attack present a unique threat to Canelo’s usual opponents.
Munguia Earns His Shot
Sergio Mora commented that Munguia wouldn’t have secured the fight with Canelo if he hadn’t put on a stellar performance against John Ryder. Munguia’s convincing victory over Ryder last January played a pivotal role in earning him this opportunity.
Munguia’s Progress
Mora noted Munguia’s evolution as a fighter, especially under the guidance of trainer Freddie Roach. Munguia’s improved performance and his ability to follow Roach’s instructions effectively have bolstered his confidence in facing Canelo.
Despite some doubts about Munguia’s consistency in training, his recent performances indicate that he is ready to take on the challenge of fighting Canelo.
Exciting matchup between Canelo and Munguia 🥊🇲🇽
