Munguía towers Martirosyan as well. Munguía hits hard and was already hindered to compete at 154 because he put in the work draining at that division. He’s a natural Middleweight who still has to shed weight like Jermall Charlo or Andrade. Munguía was 20 at the time, young like a rising star Davis, Kingry, Haney, Lopez. Difference is that Munguía had more fights than all these guys. Munguía at the full 160 was too risky for K2 Promotions. K2 needed complete assurance that the Canelo rematch would happen. The worst case scenario is that Munguía would go to the cards and Loeffler was spooked to go against GBP, which would mean the Canelo fight would’ve been jeopardized.
everyone in the business knows Munguía would’ve KO’d Martirosyan as well. The kid is bigger and stronger, fresh, got experience cause he started young in pro fights.
it was all too risky for K2. GGG wouldn’t duck Munguía at all, but his handlers didn’t want to risk anything. Oscar sat back relaxed with any outcome. Loeffler and industry persuaded the world that Vanes was a better fit. Lol. Makes no sense other than insecurities and the power of GBP in the game
