Munguia is a durable fighter with his unrelenting style of moving forward in a fight. However, he needs to improve on his stationery defense as his head has an open target on it when he comes forward. A slick counter puncher sooner or later will hit it on the bullseye and he will be truly tested. Yes, he is upcoming and improving. Defense and offense are equally important!
We don’t know how durable he is yet. He’s yet to fight a big puncher. Seems like they know he still has a long way to grow. Step up to Boo Boo next.
“Jaime Munguia arrival”? Sounds like a big superstar already. Cant wait for more reports of what he ate for breakfast and what other celebrities he’s hooking up with.
Maybe have to be more of a superstar to have a “grand” arrival.
With the exception of getting a “gift” decision by Dennis Hogan, Jaime looks to stay busy until bigger fights arrive. As for now he’s a very protected fighter…
We should understand at least a bit of the boxing industry business. At soon a boxer reaches a good status of attention, promoters and people that form his team try their best to protect him. Last thing on their mind is to throw him under the bus.
Munguia is not the exception, so, do not expect him facing those dangerous, low reward160. Tureano has a good name, but is at Munguia’s reach, kind of well calculated risk, but I won’t be surprised of an upset in here, because Munguia’s ceiling isn’t too high, Dennis Hogan exposed that. At 154 he was steered away of boxers like Germell Charlo, Lara, Castaño, Hurd….so, I expect the same at 160
You hit it on the head when you mentioned “boxing industry business”. It’s all about money, playing dirty at times, and protecting an investment. Yet, sometimes that entails taking mini-baby steps to win a title(s) and the fans wait in the shadows till that time arrives. Sometimes, fans are subjected to the blowhard talk of promoters that big fights are coming only to be fore played with and no climax. Nuff said…
Outstanding match up for Munguia. I believe Munguia will win, but I hope Johnson provides challenging rounds to Munguia. The styles should clash nicely in a phone booth battle of attrition.
Phone booth favors Tureano, he was winning against a better and really hevy handed fighter (Curtis Stevens) before getting caught at the last minute of the fight
Alright so Boo Boo next up or what? DAZN seems to be avoiding big in stable fights. WBO should order it.
I like watching Jaime, he’s generally in exciting fights. I think he’s quite a flawed fighter, which makes it interesting to watch, you know sooner or later he’ll meet his match.
