Undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Álvarez and challenger Jaime Munguía have commented on their May 4 PPV showdown on Amazon Prime and DAZN from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Canelo Alvarez: “I’m very proud and excited to be able to make this fight. A Mexican versus another Mexican is always a huge fight and it’s been a while since there’s been one like this. It’s great to give an opportunity like this to a fighter that’s earned it like Jaime has. It gives me a lot of joy that two Mexicans will be facing each other in such a big fight for the sport.”
Jaime Munguía: “I’m very, very happy and filled with enthusiasm for this great opportunity. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone involved who were able to make this fight a reality. We are ready to give fans a great night of boxing on Saturday, May 4. I can’t wait to demonstrate to the world that I am capable of doing great things. Viva Tijuana and Viva México!”
Note: Pre-sale tickets are available Thursday, March 14 from 10 a.m. PT until 10 p.m. PT through AXS.com by using the code: PBC
Does Canelo have amnesia? Now you’re excited to be facing another Mexican!! Who do you think has been waiting and calling you out for the past two years? Benavidez!!!! We already know Jaime is going to lose. Sorry for the spoiler.
This is what a media hyped face of Boxing allowed to do. No surprises Canelo made this cherry pic. But should be a decent scrap going by the Rider fights. And Canelo is no longer elite. He’s struggling with B class fighter now.
Benavidez is American.!
“It’s great to give an opportunity like this to a fighter that’s earned it like Jaime has.” I guess DB still needs a few more fights before he earns his shot.
Very sad.
DB is ready.
Hopefully Mungia doesn’t forget how to “fight” like Kovalev and ggg 3 and many others. Lets see what weight rehydration “clause” , “handicap”, or “$cript” Mungia has to follow for this Canelo “fight “. We will find out. It will be high level “entertainment boxing ” and not real boxing .
You need to get a laid lol
If you don’t know there is no any clause in this fight is because you just open your mouth or you are unhappy in this life lol
you need an education, a spanish -english dictionary , a translator, and some manners. also, they don”t always tell you what the clauses are before the fight. sometimes the clauses are revealed after the fight. you are so “innocent “and gullible to believe everything you read on these fights. i am very happy and my sex life is fine and none of your business. i thought you were a “man”, why are you wondering on another mans sex life .? you need therapy help .
Carlos Padilla, I hear you. I have been trying to teach Carlos some manners as well as english grammer. I’ve corrected his spelling, punctuation and grammar but nothing has worked. He also blames evereything on his phone or flip phone perhaps?..About his manners, that’s on him.
I don’t care if I don’t does English well if not my primary lenguage
And the clause are reveal before the fight just like when tank request dehydration to Ryan Garcia
The first things thing mentioned in every fight are the clauses
And I need a better English and you need viagra
god bless you. your problems are more than just ” fanaticism “.
Do you know that Kovalev was heavier at the weigh in against canelo???
Yes Canelo was 1/2 a pound lighter maybe he took a shit before the weigh-in. (boxrec) Either way the half pound did not help Kovalev, he got stopped.
Kovalev was also in serious debt and there’s a very strong possibility that he threw the fight for huge earnings from the bookies by allowing for the knockout. Clauses are not always weight related or written in on paper. Silent agreements between fighters have been going on since the beginning.
Fish heads as Filet mignon
I’m thinking this is gonna be more of a sparring session like Canelo/Chavez Jr.
Don’t believe the hype.
It’s nothing about hype
Is about the credit munguia won
I WONT BE BUYING THIS CRAP
Munguia is around number 3 in the division and Canelo is number 1. This is a good match-up on any measure and these are the fights we should be calling for…although Benavidez vs Canelo is more desirable. This is not a crap fight.
Canelo, why don’t you wake up and smell what you shoveling?
Enough with this Mexican on Mexican crap, its a a damn fight. Did we have to hear Black vs. Black when Crawford fought Spence or when Haney fought Prograis, or how about White vs. White with Fury and Usyk about to fight and Bivol vs. Beterbiev, or Asian vs. Asian with Inoue vs. Donaire? Jeez…we know their Mexican…congratuf*****glations.
DMV- Your analogy is all wrong, white vs white and black vs black is not at all the same as Mexican vs Mexican. You’re talking race, Canelo is talking nationality. Canelo is white (as are most Mexicans are, and as much as many refuse to accept). Mexican is not a race, it’s the same as if you described yourself as a U.S. Citizen. So keep being pissed about this fight, just get your analogies correct.

What’s wrong with that ???
The reason they said that was because most of the time by 5 de mayo a Mexican fight another non-Mexican boxer
This time both are Mexican
So don’t be sensitive
If someday Inoue fight another Japanese and they say:
Japanese vs Japanese
I’m not gona cry
Foot in mouth right there.
All they are doing is finally cashing this guy out. He fought 40 tomato cans with no pulse. You gotta give his handlers props, they are pretty smart.
David Morell will beat both of these guys. But boxing is about money, and the Mexican fans make a big percentage of PPV buys, and ticket sales. This is the reality of the sport.
I will never fight a Mexican, I don’t take drugs, al lies!
He told the truth. But its “I will never fight a Mexican named David Benavidez”
Benavidez is American.!!
Even Rocky Balboa had his career guided…. He avoided Clubber Lang in Rocky III. Canelo is going with the script. i love both Canelo and Rocky. I watched all the Rocky’s and I will watch all The Canelo’s. Benavidez will probably happen in 2025. Wait for it….
I was in attendance for the Munguia vs. Derevyanchenko fight last June. Munguia needed a last round knockdown to squeak out a questionable decision in front of a huge hometown crowd. The fight was in Ontario, CA, but it felt like Tijuana.
Once again…Canelo vs. Benavidez in Texas.
Canelo is doing his reputation serious harm and will be partially known as the fighter who ducked Benavidez. Heaven only knows why.
Giggle-giggle. I know of another fight that should bring joy and excitement,. Another Mexican vs Mexican matchup that hasn’t taken place in a long time. As a matter of fact, it’s even bigger than this one. This fight would be by someone who has more than earned his shot at unifying the belts which should bring canelo greater joy. I guess I must be looking at it from the wrong angle. Oh well.
I probably is the only one who remembers the “crossdresser ” stating before the Mayweather-Canelo fight, this will finally be the passing of the guard finally for Floyd. After the match there was a boat load of excuses, for a guy with young legs 25years to Mayweather’s 36, and outweighed Mayweather by some 15 pounds on fight night. He, Oskar, is saying the exact same thing about this match, It is suppose to be the passing of the guard. Canelo will stop this guy. Having said that what happened to Canelo’s claim “I don’t want to fight another Mexican?” These people are all full of BS.
