Munguia vs Surace live updates
The 28-year-old Munguia (44-1, 28 KO) is trying to get a quick rematch with Canelo Alvarez after losing to him on May 4. Munguia has fought once since then, stopping fringe contender Eric Bazinyan in the 10th round on September 20.
ESPN+ main card tonight
– Jaime Munguia vs. Bruno Sarace
– Alain Picasso vs. Yihisun Coelho
Picasso (30-1, 16 KOs) is expected to be the next challenger for undisputed super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue if he is victorious tonight over Cuello (13-2-2, 11 KOs) in their combined 10-round fight.
Munguia has an easy fight tonight against Sauras (25-0-2, 4 KOs). None of the four agencies that imposed the sanctions ranked Soras in the top 15. The reason for this is clear: Soras’ opposition was weak.
It’s not clear why Top Rank chose this opponent for Munguia instead of a top-tier contender. If the idea is to make Munguia look great and make sure he doesn’t get beaten up by anyone to ruin his chances in a rematch with Canelo, then facing him against fighters like Surace and Bazinyan makes sense.
Ideally, Munguia should show some courage by beating the top contenders at 168 to speed up the process of getting a rematch with Canelo, but he is too weak to do that. Munguia didn’t even look good in his last bout against Bazinyan.
If Munguia is ambitious and willing to take risks, he will fight these guys to win a rematch with Alvarez:
– Oslis Iglesias
– Christian Mbele
-Diego Pacheco
– Caleb plant
Munguia is not expected to fight any of these fighters. It’s work. His next fight will likely be against Edgar Berlanga, who has said he is interested in fighting. Berlanga is on the same talent level as Bazinyan and is an easy mark for Munguia or any of the fighters on the roster.
