Super middleweights Jaime Munguia (42-0, 33 KOs) and John “The Gorilla” Ryder (32-6, 18 KOs) inaugurated the newly built Golden Boy Boxing Gym in downtown Los Angeles with a media workout for their January 27 clash at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona, broadcast worldwide on DAZN.
Jaime Munguia: “I honestly feel like I can knock John Ryder out. That’s what we are working towards. Obviously, once you step inside the ring anything can change. But we’re training to get inside the ring in optimal condition, and if we can’t get the knockout we will be making sure we get the decision.”
John Ryder: “I want to go in there and make a statement…I’m a different fighter now from when I fought Canelo. I believe I learned a lot about myself.”
Let’s go Munguia! But after this it’s time to step up your competition. Fighting B-side fighters all the time actually lowers your skill-set, even while it pads your record.
They arent ready to cash him out yet, he is Gilberto Ramirez 2.0
Gilberto Ramírez has done better than Munguía
Yuniesky González
Arthur Abraham
Jessie hart
Joe smith jr
Sullivan Barrera
Til he finally moved to 175 lbs s fought the second best of the world dimitry bivol who could not ko Ramirez
But Ramirez could not put action in his fights like Munguía
Munguia was primed to become a 20 year old super star after KO’ng Sadam Ali, but what has he done in the 5 years since? Yes, he’s gone undefeated, but has been very protected and really hasn’t displayed any real fireworks. Shit or get off the pot! They’ve been talking about matching him up with Berlanga for the past 3 years but haven’t even done that! I say throw him in the deepest of waters now and see how he responds. If he wins, he’s rightfully amongst the elite, if he loses, see how he bounces back.
One thing I have to recognize to munguía is that he is very disciplined in his training camp he is always in a good physical condition .
He won’t fight class A opponents because he knows he is not competitive for them , but I don’t care as long as he gives me great fights like he always does .
Other boxers fights class A opponents with championship involved and they put me to sleep
Is like a restaurant they need from manager to a dishwasher , Munguía is the dishwasher but he does it well
Not everybody is gona be a champion of the world
And I’m not talking about shakur I’m talking in general boxers
At least Munguía put a show and I enjoy the beer while watch his fights
Different fighter, blah blah? A Gorillas a Gorilla
This guy is huge, just the other day he was fighting at jr.middle. Him Ramirez and Ortiz were fighting at 2 divisions below their natural weight.
Munguia by decision…easy one to call.
Ryder has no chancs and I am NOT a Munguia fan.
Ryder is a nightmare opponent for Munguia, think he gives him all sorts of trouble, go John
