High Rank has signed a co-promotional cope with former WBO Junior middleweight champion Jaime Munguia. Promoter Bob Arum’s High Rank firm will co-promote the 27-year-old Munguia (43-1, 34 KOs) and Fernando Beltran, his long-time promoter.
The Want for Safety
Munguia will battle Erik Bazinyan (32-0-1, 23 KOs) on September twentieth. It’s unclear what course High Rank will take with Munguia. I don’t see Munguia turning into a star as a result of he will get hit an excessive amount of, and he must be protected to maintain himself from being overwhelmed.
So long as High Rank desires to match him like they did Edgar Berlanga, he’ll be tremendous, however he can’t be reworked right into a Canelo Alvarez sort of expertise. He must be protected, and that’s not somebody who can turn out to be a star. Munguia is Berlanga 2.0, and that’s not somebody that High Rank can depend on over the lengthy haul.
Munguia is sweet for what Golden Boy did with him by matching him in opposition to certain issues for an enormous cash-out sort of battle, which he obtained in opposition to Canelo and was overmatched.
Munguia’s finest wins:
– John Ryder
– Sergiy Derevyanchenko: *Razor shut
– Dennis Hogan: *Controversial
– Gabriel Rosado
– Gary O’Sullivan
– Kamil Szeremeta
– Liam Smith
– Sadam Ali
– Jimmy Kelly
Regardless of dropping the battle, Munguia stays ranked excessive at 168 at #2 WBC, #5 WBO, #7 IBF and #7 WBA. It’s unlikely that Canelo will give Munguia a rematch if he works his means again into the obligatory spot as a result of it will look foolish to push a second battle between them down the throats of the followers except both of them took on a superb fighter, like David Benavidez.
Munguia isn’t going to show something by defeating Erik Bazinyan as a result of his resume is much more inflated than his personal. Jaime can be a superb addition for High Rank if the plan is to maintain him protected till Canelo retires after which go after certainly one of his belts. Nevertheless, it is going to be the identical in the event that they put Munguia in with somebody good, like David Benavidez, Christian Mbilli, and Caleb Plant.
Munguia is an efficient fighter if High Rank desires to match him like they did with Edgar Berlanga when he was a part of their firm, however he’s not adequate to be thrown in with A-level guys.
Erik Morales shall be again in Munguia’s nook as his coach for his subsequent battle in opposition to Bazinyan on September twentieth. Freddie Roach skilled Munguia for the Canelo battle, and he couldn’t forestall him from being dominated.
