Both weigh-in below 168 lbs, Munguia and Ryder at 167.8 lbs, but it's good to see them making the weight.

Munguia though looks fresh maybe because of his youth, but he is still the favorite in this fight. I wanted to see Munguia vs Berlanga though, I mean this two has been calling each other for quite sometime now and they are young that's why this fight is going to be equal though.

But let's see if Jaime can pass his big test against Ryder first.

It's their handler who brings fight for them they are just following the demands of promoters to make sure that there's audiences that will watch and bet for the fight, we don't know what are the plans but Munguia needs to win this and create a good hype to his name to call for a much bigger fight,

though like you mentioned this is a big test for him and Ryder will not waste also his opportunity to regain his name and climb back.

If I'm not mistaken, it's a strategic partnership between Zanfer Promotions and GBP. So we might say that he has been protected specially by GBP, and so there could be hype on Jaime as early as 2019. But then again, pandemic and so all the plans have been derailed.

However, we all know what all this fighters are looking for, a big payday against Canelo Alvarez. And I think Oscar wanted him to fight Canelo, but we will have to wait because he will have a bigger fighter to test in Ryder. And then after that, him and Berlanga as well, back and forth trash talking between this two young prospects specially with Berlanga was still with Top Rank, now he is under Match Room which might take negotiations difficult as Oscar and Eddie Hearn has some verbal toss as well.

I can confirm that the career of Mungia has deteriorated significantly due to GBP. He has given up his championship belt and moved up in weight class, but GBP has failed to give him another championship match. Mungia should have held off on moving up unless he can no longer make the weight. By continuing to defend his championship belt and by challenging the other champions to unify, his name would remain significant.

Berlanga must be safeguarded because his abilities are inferior to those of Mungia. He left Top Rank because the boxers there are world class and Arum cannot safeguard him anymore.
