The road back to a world title for Jaime Munguia (44-1, 35 KOs) continues in a familiar setting. The Mexican super middleweight star comes home this Saturday, Dec. 14, to face the unbeaten Bruno Surace (25-0-2, 4 KOs) in the 10-round main event at Estadio Caliente in Tijuana.
In the 10-round co-feature, WBC #1 junior featherweight contender Alan Picasso (30-0-1, 16 KOs) hopes to set the stage for a monster 2025 when he takes on Ghana’s Isaac Sackey (26-2-2, 21 KOs).
This is what Munguia and Surace had to say at Thursday’s press conference.
Jaime Munguia: “He is a strong fighter. He throws a lot of combinations. We have to be careful with that. I’ve studied him, and I’m confident of the work that we have done. I will walk away with my hand raised in victory…if I knew in what round I could knock him out, I would bet all of my money on that. But I don’t know. It’s uncertain. I can tell you now with full certainty that I will be looking for the knockout.”
Bruno Surace: “He’s an outstanding fighter. He’s aggressive and very offensive. In the first few rounds, I’ll have to get a lot of information and lay out a plan to fight him. But I’ve also seen many videos of him, and I know how I will need to box him.”
He is back to the same thing, fighting bums. These so called stars are allowed to do this after about 50 fights, while others are condemed for doing the same thing.
Its a party, cue up the band, pour the tequila. They know how to make money from this guy. Keep the party going.
Its a Mexican holiday when he fights.
“the unbeaten Bruno Surace (25-0-2, 4 KOs)”
– Has a 15% KO ratio…………..
It’s a confidence booster fight.
The Munguia camp is working on exposing Jaime to fast fighters with this fight. Surace won’t be stopping Munguía and if he decides to stay in the pocket, he’s done. I see Munguia stopping him around the 9th round.
