Super middleweights Jaime Munguia (43-1, 34, KOs) will face unbeaten contender Erik Bazinyan (32-0-1, 23 KOs) in the 12-round main event on Friday, Sept. 20, at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
Jaime Munguia: “I can’t wait to return to Arizona against an undefeated and motivated Erik Bazinyan and for the fight to be shown on the world’s biggest networks. I fight for the fans and look forward to giving them a great show.”
Erik Bazinyan: “It’s the perfect timing to shock the world. I’ve worked my entire career for this moment, and I know I’ve got everything it takes to beat Jaime Munguia.”
I don’t know about shocking the world. I mean Munguia never fought a top 3 legit opponent and was carried by Canelo…
I have a feeling that Munguia will win. Bazinyan is no Canelo. Bazinyan hasn’t fought anybody good at all despite being 32-0. It’s a padded record. Munguia has more experience and has had better fights than Bazinyan. Munguia has beaten a good fighter in Sergiy Derevyanchenko and John Ryder Canelo’s former mandatory. Fighting Canelo just gave him more experience that Bazinyan lacks.
Hopefully, Bazinyan shows better form than in his last fight. He lost that fight to an unknown, but got a gift from the judges.
He did clearly lose that fight.
Seems like a tough return fight for Munguia
“Seems like a tough return fight for Munguia”
– Good for us boxing fans.
The way Canelo manhandled Jaime I’d say he knocks out Benavides, EASILY!!!.
Berlanga: Just another loudmouth PR.
