JIM LAMPLEY'S CANELO vs. MUNGUÍA PREVIEW ANALYSIS

"I covered the emergence period of Jaime Munguia’s career, specifically his encounters with Sadam Ali and Liam Smith. I thought enough of his potential to produce a profile feature on my HBO show The Fight Game. I took him to the Del Mar racetrack near my California home, and he was pleasantly surprised to discover the jockeys all knew who he was. Since that time, Munguia has stayed busy, winning thirteen more fights to genuinely earn the right to face the highest identity non-heavyweight fighter in boxing, Canelo Alvarez. The names on the list are not overwhelmingly impressive, but the activity rate is high. And in his last ring appearance, with new a new trainer, hall of famer Freddie Roach, Jaime dealt more harshly with Britain’s John Ryder than had Canelo Alvarez, who got a unanimous decision over Ryder, while Munguia knocked him out in nine rounds. That’s what sets up Munguia vs Alvarez.

"Canelo has had an exceptionally long career by 21st Century standards and his learning curve has been disciplined and constant. It’s almost certainly impossible to find an impartial expert who expects Munguia to defrock him in a boxing match. The Tijuana star is a puncher, but the pride of Guadalajara has one of the sport’s most proven chins. So, most likely competitive, uncertainty still awaits a Canelo faceoff against one of the two 168 lb Davids -- Benavides or Morrell. The sober prediction here is a thoughtful, cerebral Alvarez decision. But while there are still some chinks in Jaime Munguia’s armor, he does have armor. So, an upset isn’t out of the question...just unlikely. Canelo by unanimous decision is most likely."
