Canelo Álvarez emerged victorious in his fight against Jaime Munguía, retaining his world super middleweight championship title. The fight took place last night at the Jalisco Stadium in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Álvarez dominated the fight from the first round, landing several heavy blows on Munguía. Munguía tried to counterattack but failed to connect with any significant punches.
In the seventh round, Álvarez landed a powerful right hook that sent Munguía to the canvas. Munguía rose but was clearly wobbly. The referee stopped the fight to protect Munguía from further damage.
With the win, Álvarez improved his professional record to 58-1-2, with 39 knockouts. Munguía dropped to 39-8-1, with 31 knockouts.
The victory is a relief for Álvarez, who lost his middleweight title to Dmitry Bivol in March. Álvarez stated his plans to move up in weight to compete in the cruiserweight division.
Munguía expressed disappointment with the outcome but respected the referee’s decision. He vowed to continue working hard to become a world champion someday.
The fight was a major success, with over 60,000 fans in attendance. The bout was broadcasted on national television in both Mexico and the United States.
Reactions:
- Oscar de la Hoya, Álvarez’s promoter: “Canelo proved once again why he’s the best boxer in the world. He’s an incredible champion, and he only gets better every day.”
- Julio Cesar Chavez, legendary Mexican boxer: “Álvarez is a phenomenon. He’s one of the most talented boxers I’ve seen in my career.”
- Jaime Munguía: “I’m disappointed with the result, but I respect the referee’s decision. I’ll keep working hard to become a world champion someday.”
Álvarez’s victory solidifies his position as the best boxer in the world. He will likely face a cruiserweight opponent in his next fight. Munguía will need to recover from the defeat and work hard to become a contender for the super middleweight title once again.
