Canelo Alvarez vs Jamie Munguia - Amazon/DAZN PPV - Fight by Fight Thread

[-Kev-]

Anybody else getting tired of Canelo glazers acting like he's this old man that has to fight conservative? He's only 33! He should be walking em down then knocking out guys on Munguia's level, but Canelo has never had skills like that.

Smfh.

Dude is clearly older, he had 65 pro fights at 33. That’s a ton of fights.

Listen to a professional boxer Shawn Porter just now. He just said Canelo is an old 33 and is closer to 40 in boxing years.

What is Canelo in his prime? Lol dude is old plain and simple.

I don’t know if Canelo carried Munguia but it’s a little suspect because whenever he landed a good punch to liver you saw Munguias pain and hand drop. And Canelo did not follow it up. That to me made no sense.

[ramses07]

little weird that canelo hurt him especially in the 12th and didnt follow up.

[Damn Wicked]

Canelo was sure he was going to KO Mungia. I think the resilience and the fight that Mungia put up is great for his brand and raises his stock but I think both guys resilience and resolve will be reduced in their next fights. Both guys have had grueling fights lately (aside from the Jermell fight), and that takes a lot out of a fighter.

Another thing...Mungia looked faster than Canelo for the first many rounds. Canelo's accuracy and speed looked notably worse than usual. Mungia was hit with so many hard shots that he looked bad at the end of the fight....I thought Mungia would be the fresher guy at the end but he took so many flush shots that he was struggling at the end. That was a war!

Props to Canelo. Still the man after all this time.

[Inoue Body Shot]

Excellent performance from Canelo!! Thought he could've got the stoppage but great performance from Canelo!!

You really believe Canelo carried Munguia? That’s not what I saw. I saw a very old Canelo taking time off when ever he could, and also cautious about Munguia’s power.

That’s BS that he carried him. Dude when a boxer predicts a KO, and with DLH talking the way he did, you don’t carry your opponent. Canelo tried and failed to KO Munguia. Clear as day actually. Like anyone with two eyes can see that he tired. He just couldn’t do it.

Nelo landed 50% of his power shots that is a absurd percentage Munguia is one tough bastard going the distance.

Munguia had the fight under control until he ******ly decided to play with Canelo on the inside/short distance in the 4rd round. He was doing well from long and mid range.

It is easier said than done what Bivol did.

In the first 3 rounds, Munguia did it very good. Boxing past his jab. I felt like he was winning the fight.

When he started to become careless in defense , he almost got knocked out by un uppercut.

You don`t play with the guy like Canelo like this on a short range. From here on, it was Canelo`s fight.

Munguia proved himself tonight he was supposed to get ran over but he gave canelo a helluva fight.

Munguia beats anyone at 68 not named Canelo and Benavidez.
