Jaime Munguia says he’s fascinated about preventing Edgar Berlanga in 2025 and feels that might be a “good fight.” This may be a business-level match as a result of this isn’t a cutting-edge kind of matchup, as neither of those guys goes wherever within the division.
Berlanga (22-1, 17 KOs) has been speaking nonstop about his curiosity in going through Munguia (44-1, 35 KOs) subsequent since his huge 12-round unanimous resolution loss to Canelo Alvarez on September 14th. The scores had been 118-109, 117-110, and 118-109.
Munguia-Berlanga could be a combat involving contenders lately overwhelmed by Canelo, each of which are attempting to work right into a second conflict rapidly. It’s believed that Canelo carried Munguia out of respect and never eager to knock out a fellow Mexican. Munguia was out of his class, and was fortune to not get knocked out by Canelo.
Mexico vs. Puerto Rico?
He doesn’t perceive why Berlanga celebrated his loss afterward, and he feels that was ridiculous. Pathetic is the right time period. Afterward, Berlanga cruised round Puerto Rico at the back of a truck, being handled like a hero as an alternative of a loser. That was so completely weird.
The Eddie Hearn-promoted Berlanga sees it as a combat that can promote on PPV, viewing it as a conflict between Mexico and Puerto Rico. The Brooklyn, New York native Berlanga desires to market the combat as a match between these nations.
Munguia is preventing subsequent Saturday evening towards little-known Bruno Surace (20-0-2, 4 KOs) in a 10-round contest on December 14th in Tijuana, Mexico.
“I don’t know what to say. I don’t celebrate a loss. I work hard so I can learn. So, for me, I think it’s ridiculous to celebrate a loss,” stated Jaime Munguia to Combat Hub TV, speaking about Edgar Berlanga celebrating his loss to Canelo Alvarez on September 14th.
“I respect him as a fighter, but I think it looks ridiculous to celebrate a loss. Let’s do that fight. It would be a good fight for next year. So, let’s do it,” stated Munguia about his curiosity in preventing Berlanga in 2025.
“It’s not the primary purpose [to Fight Berlanga]. There’s Caleb Plant, and Mbilli, who’s with High Rank. First, we have now this dedication on December 14th [against Bruno Surace in Tijuana], If all goes effectively, we wish to have an amazing combat subsequent 12 months.
A Enterprise-level Combat
It might be extra attention-grabbing for Munguia to check himself towards Mbilli, Plant, or Osleys Iglesias than preventing Berlanga. If Munguia wished to realize the respect of followers, he’d select these guys slightly than Berlanga. Nevertheless, it’s uncertain that he’ll for apparent causes. He’d lose.
Munguia is reduce from the identical fabric as Berlanga is when it comes to how he’s been matched throughout his profession. So, as an alternative of breaking the mould from how he’s been groomed for 11 years, he’ll nearly absolutely combat Berlanga, which might be a business-level combat.
So, it’s predictable that he’ll combat Berlanga slightly than danger getting overwhelmed by Mbilli, Plant, or Iglesias. Preventing any of these three could be Munguia going towards his grain as a result of he’s by no means fought good contenders throughout his 11-year profession.
Munguia’s Finest Wins
– John Ryder– Sergiy Derevyanchenko: 39-years-old– Erik Bazinyan– Liam Smith– Sadam Ali
“Now we have to see what the folks need. I believe the higher combat is with Berlanga. I believe folks will like that combat. There are loads of fights at 168, however we are going to see what the general public desires.
“It will be a good fight, but I think Munguia will win due to the experience. I think he has a lot more experience than Morrell and is stronger,” stated Munguia in regards to the February 1st combat between David Benavidez and David Morrell. “They’re both undefeated; they’re with the same promoter. It looks like a very exciting fight,” stated Munguia.
David Benavidez is NOT a stronger puncher than David Morrell, and never even shut. Munguia has turned it the wrong way up with that view. Benavidez is a quantity puncher, not an influence man, and lacks the pop to combat the best way he used to when he was belting all the way down to marketing campaign towards smaller fighters at 168.
