This fight deserves a thread on its own because this is one of the biggest fight of this year though Canelo is still the favorite but upsets do happen nowadays and i believed that Jaime Munguia is a live underdog going into this fight.

What do you think of this fight guys?

~ i believed that Jaime Munguia is a live underdog going into this fight.

Yeah, no one would doubt about that if we look at their stats. Younger, taller, longer reach, and also has knockout power? If there's an underdog that's really worth betting on, it's probably Jaime (he's currently @4.9)

For the younger fighter, this is a win-win situation for him.

^ its not going to surprise anyone if Munguia wins an upset. if not Buenavidez then Munguia is not a bad pick.  Canelo will only fight Buenavidez if paid up to $200M aaccording to one of his interview. yikes.

however Canelo still is an elite fighter in boxing.  i think Munguia's team is feeding their dog to a monster actually, its good to go out taking a risk but Canelo is too much for him.

here are few in the fight card.

And see if Jaime what it takes to win vs the version of Canelo. It was really entertaining fight, but not sure if Munguia did enough as I think it could have been a draw at least or Sergiy winning but the slimmest of the margin.

Jesse Magdaleno though, I thought he is done with boxing already, but obviously making a comeback.

I don't like this version of Munguia that body punch of Derevyanchenko won the match it could have been drawn based on the scorecard or, Derevyanchenko won the fight, depending on who won the final round and Munguia just did it with a 2-point advantage.

This is the reason why Munguia is an underdog going to the fight, he is slow and his timing is not perfect compared to Canelo, but whatever happens to this fight Munguia will learn or attain greatness, but he has a good future ahead of him even if he loses the fight, fighting Canelo is a learning process.

This might be the reason why Team Canelo chooses to fight Munguia rather than David Benavidez because the former is slow and is very beatable. Like you said, even if Munguia loses this fight, he will learn something from this and of course this might be the biggest purse that he will receive on his entire career.

Thanks, not a basher of Munguia, but I see that he lost this fight against Derevyanchenko.

Although Munguia has also a good chin, but not sure if his body is still made of steel as for sure Canelo will target that and we all know that he is also a big body puncher. Hopefully, this fight is going to be good, and that Munguia as a young fighter has learn from this fight and then improved in the Canelo fight because this is a big opportunity from him to create an upset.

Thanks for appreciating on the making of this thread bro, a Canelo fight for me always deserves a thread on its own hehe.

Canelo is a good body puncher and Munguia is fully aware of that so they will avoid that one as long as possible but i do think that Canelo would catch him in the later rounds and might stop him so i'll go for a late KO for Canelo in this fight.

Yes, those scenario can happen as well, and maybe this is just one of those that we might picture Canelo doing. Going to the body early to soften Munguia and then maybe in the middle rounds, change and attack him and try to go for a knockout win.

For Munguia, he needs volume to keep Canelo at bay, just like what Bivol did.

But I wouldn't be surprise if he will go and wanted a toe to toe battle in the middle, this kid is ambitious and motivated and so he wanted to prove something in this fight.

The difference between this fight and of that the Bivol fight is that the latter is much bigger than Canelo and they are fighting on a division where Bivol is comfortable.

Aside from Ryder, i don't see popular names on Munguia's opponents so experience will be a big factor for him and just hope though that he will be giving Canelo one good fight.

At the final press conference, Oscar disrespects Canelo by reminding him who built his name and also reminding him of his two failed drug tests the two almost came to a blow in the final press conference.
Let's see on the fight night who will have the last laugh, the conference is very unusual we see boxers in heated arguments but this time it's the boxer against the promoter.

I don't know, I don't quite buy that theory. Usually when someone moves up a weight class, they would have the speed advantage and the opponent would have the advantage of power. But it didn't look that way but almost the opposite. Bivol seemed to be the faster one.
Canelo can justify his loss by the need of bulking up, but if he overdid it to a point when he became too slow, he can only blame himself and his team.

of all time to air Oscars voice, he picked the press con for the fight of the two. he could have tweet it after all people follow him. i guess this is all for marketing still?
but what Canelo reveal is more known to the fighters under the golden boy promotion.

Oscar been known to have scammed the boxers under his promotion even Ryan Garcia also have complains about Oscar. Ryan has nothing good to say about Oscar until he won against Devin.  Jaime will lose this fight and will also be scammed by Oscar.

Lol at Oscar, as if he can still fight today and pick Canelo, for me this is just for promotion of the fight.

I think Munguia has the slight advantage in height, and it's up to him on how to used it. But as I have said, I want him to be a volume puncher and initiate all the actions at least he could get a good impression from the judges and maybe steal some rounds as I don't see him knocking Canelo out for a win.

Just a couple of days and we will see how Jaime will do and if he can really pull the biggest upset this year.
