WBC #1 contender Jaime Munguía was one of the special guests at the WBC’s traditional “Tuesday Coffee” to talk about his possible middleweight elimination fight against Sergiy Derevyanchenko with the winner to challenge WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo.
Munguía hopes that this fight can take place in late October or early November, However, he clarified that he has not stopped taking care of himself via his diet, his vitamin plan and, of course, in his workouts, so he can be fully ready for any challenge that comes his way.
For Munguía, if this fight happens, it would be a great opportunity. He knows all about the boxing quality of Derevyanchenkoand. He assured the fight will test him, help him by build even more self-confidence, and show people why he is where he is now.
Munguia added that his life dream is to conquer the Green and Gold Belt, but he doesn’t want to contemplate any further until he faces Derevyanchenko.
Sergiy Derevyanchenko is too skilled. This fight will not go past 8 or 9.
Mismatch. Derevyanchenko will destroy him.
Speaketh … Mort.
One thing for sure is when Derevyanchenko shows up to fight, he puts in the overtime! Very durable as well!
Vitamin plan? Interesting…
I could tell Munguia was on the vitamin plan. He’s a Flintstone kid.
Lets see it already
He took a beating from Charlo ..not the same guy that beat GGG
True story ZB. D’Chenko that fought Charlo was definitely not the same fighter that fought GGG back in the day. A healthy D’Chenko will push any fighter to their limits and possibly break them. Power wise, Mungia is ready. Skill wise, he is not ready.
As someone previously has quoted here “He already knows how to lose.”
While Derev may be more skilled, polished, and perhaps better all around, I still think he’s ripe for a ko loss.
Let the fight happen. Either Munguia gets completely exposed or he shows greater levels of maturity and ring iq at his young age (24).
Either way, it’ll be entertaining while it lasts.
