“I am very happy with the fight,” said Jaime Munguia after his come-from-behind win over Sergiy Derevyanchenko on Saturday night Toyota Arena in Ontario, CA. “It was a great victory, we made some mistakes but we’re still here undefeated. I am very happy with the decision and in reality it took me a lot of effort to achieve it. It was difficult but we were able to catch and hurt him in the 10th round and then we dropped him in the 12th round. I think ultimately, we achieved the victory thanks to my training. We trained really hard in the gym, obviously it’s not the same in the gym as in the ring, but we are always working hard, always trying to improve.”
Of course he’s happy. He lost the fight but left with a W. Exposed bum
that was a fucking robbery
WE dropped him?
Oh Oh here comes the haters… lmao
I would love to see a rematch
Fk this guy! Exposed once again with yet another BS win.
Man I missed the fight, but my buddy recorded it so I’ll see for myself. As a former fighter you can’t go by comments of dumb spectators.
I don’t get it, looks promising at times but really is just a B grade fighter that is dodging his first loss. Sooner or later will catch up with him
Solid..win….could have gone either way …. truthfully….there is upside to Manguia…of course …lots to work on..showed heart…good power..went to the body at the right time…fun to watch…just keep improving….great test…
Mungia is the next superhype they better cash in now he will not beat any of the elite fighters
I don’t know any boxing fan that is hyped about Mungia.if Especially after this fight.
He’s a big kid and he keeps growing. He was 185 lb the night of the fight with Sergey. I just don’t see him competing with Canelo, Benavidez or Morrell. Old GGG could possibly even knock him out because the kid can’t avoid punches and Golovkin can still punch. Maybe fight light hitting Plant now that he’s a gatekeeper at 168, just to see where he’s at.
Mungia is a great fighter to watch. He is very flawed but always has exciting fights. I don’t get the people bashing this guy. He is a fun fighter to watch. I would rather pay to see Mungia fight than a highly talented fighter with a safety first style. The ROI of his fights is always high.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but he’s had 42 fights and still hasn’t fought an A level fighter in their primes. Plus, he always wants to jump the line for the biggest fights without earning it over other fighters who have earned it. This is most likely where all the schtick comes from. But there is no denying that he is always in compelling and exciting fights.
Stick him in with Lara. As old as Lara is, he will still make Mungia look absolutely lost.
Unfortunately I think it will be a large part of Derevyanchenko’s legacy that he finds a way to lose fights like this. If you think about it, it’s the third close fight he’s had — after GGG & Daniel Jacobs — where he’s had to get up off the floor. It’s hard to win those fights anyway and you put yourself in a bad spot when you have a knockdown against you on the scorecards.
You have to credit Munguia for his heart and determination. He adjusted late in the fight and fought his heart out. However, he lost the fight. He has made many corner changes in his young career and still makes the same mistakes. Unfortunately for him, these mistakes will shorten his career as he gets hit to head a lot and will be a gate keeper like Angulo and some of those guys we love to watch but end up with devastating head trauma
OK this guy was 14-4 with only 4 ko’s, and he hurt Munguia several times. I think he got robbed, Benavidez would kill Munguia.
He has 10kos and, in his defense, to date Derevyanchenko probably hurt GGG more than anyone I’ve seen in his entire career so far.
No, he has 10 KO’s. You are mistaken. Not about Benavidez though
This was a terrific fight and Seigiy, who I thought was faded, brought his A-game.
I hope Sergei retires with enough money to do the things that he needs to do, and with his brain cells intact. He’s a nice guy and even though he didn’t win a world championship, he still deserves to live a dignified life with his attractive wife and children. He’s given us a lot of entertaining fights but it’s time for him to walk away now. We all know he beat GGG, so technically he did win a world championship.
A shitty Mexican fighter proving that having balls you give a great fights
