Super middleweight contenders Jaime Munguia (43-1, 34 KOs) and Erik Bazinyan (32-0-1, 23 KOs) faced off at the final press conference for their 12-round main event on ESPN Friday evening at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
Jaime Munguia: “It’s a very important fight. He’s an aggressive fighter who gives a great show to the people. I know it’s going to be a tough fight, but I’m going to walk away with my hand raised.”
Erik Bazinyan: “I’ve been in against top fighters for the past few years. I’ve fought and beaten anyone that my team has brought to me. This is a great opportunity. And I’m here to win.”
Vamos Munguía!!!!
Duro duro duro duro !!!!
Orale Carlos! Vamos munguia!
Cheers homie !!!
Jaime should not have left Freddie Roach.
Sister Sledge-I guess, They weren’t fam-a-ly!
Looks like a descent matchup. Bazinyan had about 100 amateur bouts, no high level fights but he did beat adelantez fox and Ronald Ellis. While they’re not world beaters they were decent competition. Mungia should win this but could be a difficult fight. Mungia has the experience of going 12 with Canelo. Would like to see Mungia v Berlanga or Plant
Winner gets Canelo next
I cannot see Jaime getting a second fight with Canelo but nothing will surprise me.
Bazinyan about to get exposed, last fight was a gift, and that never works out.
If munguia wins…munguia vs berlanga or plant should be an interesting match!
I’m assuming Munguia will win and I agree Muniguia Plant would be an interesting match. I also think Berlanga-Plant would be a very interesting fight fight.
Munguia should win this fight. Bazinyan looks overrated to me. It should be an interesting fight for sure. If Bazinyan wins it will put him a step closer for a title shot against Canelo ALvarez. It’s about time other fighters fight each other than ducking in hopes of a Canelo payday. Canelo can’t fight everyone.
