Canelo Alvarez vs. Jaime Munguia was introduced at the moment for Might 4th on Amazon Prime and DAZN PPV. That is the struggle that PBC wished, so now they’re getting their want. It’ll be attention-grabbing to see if it sells as a result of it’s not the one the U.S. boxing public wished.
PBC wished this all-Mexican blockbuster, however it’s questionable whether or not it is going to carry within the PPV buys they’re hoping for. Is it an excessive amount of to ask for Canelo to struggle a real expertise like David Morrell Jr. or David Benavidez?
A Lengthy Time Coming, However Undeserved
Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) has been after this struggle since he first turned skilled 11 years in the past, and, surprisingly, he’s getting it with out having fought been examined with a trial-by-fire kind match to earn it correctly.
He’s solely fought twice at 168 towards the outdated guys Sergiy Derevyanchenko (38) and John Ryder (35). Once you see a fighter backing right into a mega-payday after beating lesser opposition, it’s flawed.
The Proper of Passage Denied
On the very least, Munguia ought to have needed to struggle one in all these three to earn the Canelo payday as an alternative of it being given to him after defeating two fossils [Derevyanchenko & Ryder] from the Mesozoic period of the dinosaurs:
David Morrell Jr.
Caleb Plant
David Benavidez,
Canelo-Munguia might be staged on the T-Cell Enviornment in Las Vegas. Pre-sale tickets for the occasion go on sale this Thursday.
“It’s nice to present a possibility like this to a fighter that’s earned it like Jaime has,” stated Canelo.
What’s Canelo speaking about? Munguia hasn’t come near incomes a struggle towards Canelo, as he’s not fought any of the killers that he ought to must earn it the right method. Even when Munguia was combating at 154 and 160, he circumvented the highest guys by failing to struggle these fighters:
Janibek AlimkhanulyJermall CharloGennadiy GolovkinDemetrius AndradeJermell Charlo
Munguia may have fought all of these fighters in the course of the previous 11 years however didn’t. If he had fought them and overwhelmed them, you might say that he at the least partially had earned a struggle towards Canelo, however you may’t say that as a result of his finest profession wins have come towards 38-year-old Derevyanchenko and 35-year-old Ryder. That’s sorry.
Munguia: “I’m very, very completely satisfied…”
After all, he’s. Let’s be actual right here. Munguia will get a monstrous payday towards Canelo with out risking his cover towards the Massive Three: Morrell, Benavidez, and Plant.
“I’m very, very completely satisfied and stuffed with enthusiasm for this nice alternative,” stated Munguía. “I’m extremely grateful to everybody concerned who had been in a position to make this struggle a actuality. I can’t wait to display to the world that I’m able to doing nice issues.
Undercard Hypothesis
There’s no phrase about who’s combating on the undercard, however IBF welterweight champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis is rumored to be defending towards Cody Crowley. If that seems to be true, it’s a good match.
It’s not the one followers wish to see between Boots and Terence Crawford, however that struggle isn’t going to occur. Terence is holding out, ready for Canelo to bless him.
