Undefeated super middleweight Jaime Munguia (42-0, 33 KOs) and John “The Gorilla” Ryder (32-6, 18 KOs) faced off at the final press conference ahead of their clash for the WBC silver title at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona, streamed worldwide on DAZN.

Jaime Munguia: I know that John Ryder is a tough fighter. He has lost and he has won close fights, but I’m ready. I’m ready to do this on Saturday. Y que viva Mexico!”

John Ryder: It’s been a fight long in the pipeline and I’m glad we’re fighting. It’s a fight I feel like I needed since the Canelo defeat, and I want to continue operating at the level I’ve been operating at. This is the fight to kick me on, and push me in my career.”

  • Here I come again (sorry) ….. I like Munguía because he doesn’t do drama to sell his fights

    He doesn’t need to push his opponents or cursing/mocking/taunting them etc etc etc

    With professional attitude and big heart in the ring Munguía sell his fights

    My respect for this respectful guy who never talks zhit about nobody

    “”””let’s go Munguía!!!! I hope you win , for me …..you are a champ “””””

    • Spoken like a true gent thats still dealing with childhood bully issues. In school, Munguía also would have taken your lunch money and chocolate milks. He’s not like you.

  • Please help me to understand something. Many Mexicans leave for the U.S. because their country is not providing opportunities, the U.S. is better etc. Yet when they are in the U.S. they are ‘Viva Mexico’ i.e. supporting the country that effectively let them down. Not only this but they become openly hostile to the U.S. where they go for better opportunities i.e. the country they prefer over Mexico. What gives with this attitude?

    • I can explain you that
      Moving to another country for better opportunities does not mean you will change who you are
      And we are proud to be Mexicans
      Just like any other nationality are proud to be whom they are

      If you love to Japan it does not mean you are Japanese

      So you will be still being you

      A dog born in the moon is still a dog

      • If your country of birth has forced you to leave (i.e. displaced you) should you not put significant pressure on this country to improve so that you and others do not need to leave for better opportunities? SDhould you also respect the new country for the opportunities they have granted you? This to me is rational behaviour.

        • Nobody put pressure to nobody we just move here work hard and enjoy the life
          Just like millions of people from all over the world moved to Mexico early years during the war

          • If that’s the case why are so many putting their lives at risk to enter the U.S. yet I do not see it the other way. I’ll make a strong point: Mexico will remain a s%^thole for many as long as it is easy for them to get into the U.S. AND not have to do the hard work – by running away – of fixing their own country.

          • Nobody is risking lives
            The ones who die is like when you crash and die
            We can’t do nothing to fix the Mexican government
            And we run away to other places and the best is when we live better than you who born here
            We Mexicans are very successful because our hard job
            We have nice houses nice trucks and lot money in the pocket
            You all whom born here live day by day with 20 dollars in the pocket

          • So you admit that Mexico is unlivable for many people but you have no interest in fixing it?

          • We have interest to fox but can do nothing
            Just like you
            You can change us government

            Is not like Mexico is unlivable
            There are millions of people who live nice
            It’s just better to come here and make dollars

          • We can’t do nothing
            Just like you
            You can’t do nothing in order to change the us government

          • Just like you can do nothing in order for us government stop the migration to this country

            So it’s your fault

          • Now you’re commenting like a child. Maybe childish people should stay in Mexico?

    • Let me just say, if a guy with mestizo blood that came between the mix of spanish and indian blood doesnt say that, other will call him a sell out.
      We left mexico for a good reason, the country itself is beautiful but the system is fukked, too many people live in poverty. Me? The only way Id go back to live in Mexico is when I retire, in an expat community.
      I was born and raised in Mexico, left when I was 14.
      By 19 I was in the american armed forced, and I love the USA.
      My adoptive mother has done sooo much for me, and treated me with dignity and respect.
      Im proud to be mestizo and to have the blood that I have, but No way Mexico is a better place to live than the USA.
      Also FYI, I travel to mexico quite often to visit family.

      • Actually live in Mexico is better than USA now
        Except for economy
        Mexico would be richer than USA if politicians don’t steal too much money
        But there is more crime in USA now

        • If Mexico is better yet you choose to live in the U.S., I can only conclude THAT YOU DO NOT LOVE MEXICO.

          • I love Mexico but I want to be here

            Is like you
            You want another car
            But you prefer the one you already have

          • A true Mexican would be in Mexico working with like-minded people to fix the place instead of seeking a personally beneficial arrangement in another country. Your Mexico support is ‘fake’. Clearly, the hard work of improving Mexico – so that future generations do not have to run away – is not for you.

          • You wrong
            We can work hard but if your government limited you we can’t do nothing
            And is not just Mexico but the whole world who emigrate here

            The diference is Mexicans are the only ones ready to go back just in case USA got into a serious war or geot into bankruptcy

            We have house here and house in Mexico

            Someday USA will move to Mexico

            Because USA is involved in lot of political problems with the world

            Right now the economy is going down here

  • Is like if I complaint how Argentina , Brazil England Spain celebrate the soccer games

    Every country has its peculiarity and we have it in boxing

    Some Mexican American boxers bring the Mexican flag other ones not

    Like :
    Michael Carbajal
    Paul Ayala
    Orlando cañizales
    Chicanito Hernández
    Oscar de la Hoya
    etc etc etc they never showed pride for Mexico
    But their blood was still Mexican
    It does not mean they were Russians

  • And for close the conversation
    We also say viva Mexico in Mexico between Mexicans
    So it part of out folklore

    Just like Puerto Ricans say:

    “””soy borikua pa que tú lo sepas””

    (I want you to know I’m proud to be Puerto Rican )
