The fight was eagerly awaited by all boxing fans, and seems to have lived up to all its promises.
On the evening of March 04/05, the much-anticipated fight between two boxers and compatriots, the phenomenon Canelo Alvarez, and the other Mexican boxer Jaime Munguia, took place in the United States.
At the pre-fight press conference, the two boxers showed great respect for each other. However, Canelo Alvarez’s hostilities were not directed at his opponent, but at the latter’s promoter.
Canelo Alvarez began by insulting the former boxer turned promoter, the famous Oscar De La Hoya. He called him a thief, and a promoter who overshadowed his boxers. And it seems that Canelo Alvarez knows what he’s talking about, since Oscar De La Hoya was his promoter in the past.
A generous Canelo Alvarez :
Connu pour être proche des boxeurs mexicains, Canelo Alvarez ne semblait pas avoir n’importe quelle hostilité envers son compatriote Jaime Munguia. Et alors que durant le combat, Canelo Alvarez semblait avoir le contrôle du combat, les spécialistes de la boxe s’accordent à dire que Canelo Alvarez ne voulait pas être à l’origine d’une défaite dans la douleur pour son compatriote. Mais Canelo Alvarez a réussi tout de même à mettre le boxeur Jaime Munguia au sol pour un uppercut droit que personne n’a vu venir.
So, to win this fight, Canelo Alvarez had to rely on his speed and experience, given that after all these years in the ring, Canelo Alvarez’s fighting IQ has largely evolved, except for one time in recent years when he came up against better than him, in the person of Dmitryi Bivol, who was able to read Canelo Alvarez and avoid his costs to the left arm, and thus retain his title, against one of the most feared boxers of recent years.
Canelo Alvarez will now rest and enjoy his latest victory in the company of family and friends, but there are already rumours of a potential fight between him and the other phenomenon of the moment, the American Terence Crawford.
The fight, promoted by Turki al sheikh, is due to take place in Saudi Arabia, a land that has already seen some of the most spectacular face-offs of the moment, the latest of which was the fight between British boxer Anthony Joshua, and the Cameroonian phenomenon who until then had made a successful transition from MMA to boxing, the fighter Francis Ngannou, who was defeated by KO.
If the fight were to take place between the two current boxing phenomena, and if the Mexican boxer were to win this fight, which could be considered one of the toughest fights of his career, it would further cement his name in gold in the boxing book.
For the time being, Munguia is expected to rest and regain his composure to see what options are available to him, so that he can get back in the ring to reassure his fans.
