Munguia’s fans have long awaited this moment, as he has been eyeing a fight against Canelo since the beginning of his professional career 11 years ago. While some fans may have hoped for matchups against other contenders like David Benavidez or David Morrell Jr., Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) will step into the ring as a significant underdog against Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KOs).
Although Munguia is considered an upgrade from Canelo’s previous opponent, Jermell Charlo, the odds are stacked against him in this fight. While Munguia will undoubtedly give his all, it will be a tough challenge to overcome the skill and experience of Canelo unless a major upset occurs.
The build-up to this fight promises to be intriguing, especially with the need for a translator during press conferences for Munguia. While Canelo may not be fluent in English, the anticipation for this matchup is sure to generate buzz among fans.
Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) reportedly chose Munguia as the preferred opponent for the May 4th event, believing it to be a more financially viable option for them on Amazon Prime PPV compared to Canelo’s initial choice, Jermall Charlo.
While the fight with Munguia is expected to draw a significant audience and generate revenue, it may not reach the blockbuster status of Canelo’s previous matchups against elite fighters like Gennadiy Golovkin, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Miguel Cotto. Nonetheless, Munguia’s presence in the ring is sure to captivate enough fans to satisfy PBC.
Conclusion:
As the stage is set for the Canelo vs. Munguia showdown on May 4th, fans can anticipate an electrifying battle between two Mexican boxing icons. While Canelo is the clear favorite, the determination and spirit of Munguia promise to make this a memorable event for all boxing enthusiasts.
