  • I remember when Canelo and Chavez Jr fought and they both predicted an all out Mexican war, a fight that will always be remembered and that someone will get knocked out.
    Turned out to be more of a boring exhibition sparring session., They both lied and sold out, so this may be the same.
    I’ll save my money and wait for the highlights. Maybe then Canelo will have the guts to face Benavidez in the fall…

  • Munguia is the underdog in this case… The world is watching to see if he can deliver. Alvarez’s granite chin will keep him going the distance. The question is… Can Munguia be active enough and accurate to win rounds to steal the decision? Both men are rather predictable in their arsenal of tricks using hooks and crosses. Yet, Munguia is a hungry lion while Alvarez is rather protecting his territory for his legacy. I feel Alvarez will win by UD.

  • These odds look out of line to me and present a great opportunity to make good money on Munguia.

  • In this fight I think quality beats quantity.

    If Munguia goes forward with his sloppy defense Canelo will be able to rather easily expose him. I hope that Munguia surprises, with patience and ring-IQ, instead of living up to a wild Mexican war.

  • Jose Cotto burt Canelo in their fight. Bivol gave a recent blueprint to beat Canelo.
    Is Jaime with Roach in his corner able to do it

  • I think those odds are a bit unfair to Munguia. I’d make Canelo a 3:1, maybe 4:1 favorite over Munguia but not 6:1. Munguia is a live dog in this fight and could give Canelo some problems with his youth, strength, activity, and power.

    • Hes no live dog, Vegas priced this fight accurately. Munguia will not be able to find Canelo in the ring.

    • You have to lay -600 if taking Canelo, but only getting about +425 with Munguia. Odds are about right but never a good idea to risk $600 to win $100 on a fight-too many things, like a bad cut, could go wrong.

  • Odds are right. But Munguia has never been in a boring fight. He’s just a fun guy to watch.

  • mungia has a punchers chance . a small chance . upsets usually come in 3s in boxing . ryan over haney , mungia over canelo? usyk over fury ? kambosos over lomachenko ?
