Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas: Imagination Could Be Jaime Munguia's Greatest Enemy

[BoxingUpdates]

In Tuesday's episode of "Deep Waters" on ProBox TV, analyst Teddy Atlas offered a piece of advice to Jaime Munguia, who will challenge undisputed super middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez on Saturday in Las Vegas: "Don't allow the ninjas to come over the wall." Atlas discussed the crisis of imagination a fighter can experience in anticipating a bout, rather than focusing on a fight plan and seeing to its execution. "Don't allow your mind to go to the wrong places," Atlas said before explaining further.

Nah hes always had transfer truck vs icecream cone type scenarios on FNF.

I always secretly wanted him to be a part of the hbo broadcast as I was usually high af and I think the big events would have drawn some truly strange statements from him.

Munguía really does have terrible imagination. He's just jab, jab, jab, 1-2, 1-2-3/7, 3-2 if they're coming in on him. I'm not sure he even knows any more combos, and he doesn't change his speed.

Oh no! Teddy is as off the wall as Bernard Hopkins! This guy's neutons are not firing properly.

A lot of fighters seem to give Canelo too much respect - sure he throws dangerous counter shots but a lot of the time when fighters have openings against him they choose not to take them. Bivol set the blueprint on what you're meant to do against Canelo; when the openings present themselves you launch 1st 2nd and 3rd phase attacks at him. Canelo doesn't like a fast pace he needs his thinking time but when not allowed he simply folds like in the first GGG fight and the Bivol fight.

I've been watching tape and I just don't see how Munguía wins this one even if Canelo is slipping. He got caught completely flush repeatedly by Derevyanchenko and Ryder both, and if Canelo lands those shots, I don't see how the chin holds up. But I've been wrong before. I thought Haney would easily decision Ryan Garcia, even with the latter cheating. Maybe a lucky punch?
