Coming off his thrilling win, Jaime Munguia (42-0, 32 KOs) talked about his hard-fought battle against Ukraine’s Sergiy “The Technician” Derevyanchenko (14-5, 10 KOs) Saturday night at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California. In what was a candidate for Fight of the Year, Munguia pulled off the unanimous decision in what was a highly competitive fight. Here is what he had to say…

42 fights and still.. Not ready for the big boys..
Yup. I’m every fight he looks like he’s barely getting by.
He will never be a champion but he gives better fights than many champions
Considering how many “championships” there are these days, I don’t think I’d go that far. He’s certainly got a lot of heart, and even at 37yo Derevyanchenko is a tough out for anybody so it was a decent, although somewhat questionable, win.
Tremendous fight that was so close. Credit to Jaime for closing strong. If Sergiy had put togther another round like the 5th it could have tickets for Jaime who did not seem to be firing the combos like he usually does.
Munguia vs benavidez, munguia vs charlo, munguia vs bivol or even munguia vs zurdo ramirez, munguia vs berlanga, well, berlanga would get outgunned and easily destroyed so, forget berlanga! Its time for this light heavyweight uffckes to fight each other instead of waiting for a canelo’s big payday fight! Bivol is just a phone call away to any of this busters!
This big for nothing goofball has run out of easy pickings now that he has a belt. Next up, a ko loss like Chavez jr as soon as he gets in with a younger live fighter.
