Both weigh-in below 168 lbs, Munguia and Ryder at 167.8 lbs, but it's good to see them making the weight.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJAY-koXMCwMunguia 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.
Munguia was able to get the TKO win against a fighter who went the distance with Canelo. If Canelo doesn't fight Benavidez, then Munguia seems like the next best option. Munguia is never in a boring fight so I am sure against Canelo it will be a slugfest. Munguia's porous defense is his biggest weakness and would probably be his downfall against Canelo. It is still a good matchup on paper with potential to be fight of the year.
Hehe this is hype. It appears the storyline for him is he knocked out the fighter who went to the decision against Canelo and it is also being implied that he has a chance vs. Canelo. However, who is this Munguia? Does beating John Ryder make him the next challenger against the super middleweight champion? This is head shaking.
I mean if you haven't followed Jaime's rise to fame, he is supposedly the next big thing, the next hype in the middleweight/super middle weight. Maybe you can add the storyline that he is under GBP and Oscar is hell bent on having Munguia fight his once cash cow in Canelo. They separated in a bad note and Oscar might be mad for Canelo for dumping him.
Also, according to some articles, Canelo will avoid David Benavidez again and he might give the fans their wish. Munguia will certainly be a much less difficult fight than Benavidez.
And the front running as per reports is Jermall Charlo vs Canelo Alvarez next. All in-house money for PBC again. But obviously there are fans that will not like this fight, as we wanted him to face David Benavidez, but Canelo is clearly ducking him.
