The fight will be streamed live exclusively on DAZN.
Additional information for this card will be announced shortly. The event will be closed to the public and media.
Too bad it’s on DAZN. For as long as it lasts, this fight will become a phone booth war for a Munguia victory.
Sounds like a nice test for Munguia. His willingness to fight GGG years ago leads you to expect him to step it up more, by now. The match would still be considered uncompetitive.
Good point. To be honest, I forgot all about Munguia once the goofy pandemic started and boxing took a break. Yes, I would love to see Munguia step-it-up by now and let’s really see what his arsenal can do against a solid opponent when it truly happens.
Quality fight.
Tureano Johnson did hang in for 12 round before being stopped against Sergiy Derevyanchenko 3 years ago. Should be a good fight. Hopefully if it goes the distance, the judges wont be bought by Oscar.
Munguia by UD. Good matchup, but most likely unfairly judgement if for somehow Tureano seems the winner by a narrow margin. One thing for sure, Munguia doesn’t have the tools and power to KO Tureano
This might be a cherry pick gone wrong if they mis-calculated war horse Johnson coming off the couch. They probably know that the American is not prepared, so that’s why he got the fight.
