Comments Thread For: Jaime Munguia never saw it coming, stunned by Upset of the Year loss to Bruno Surace

Frankly this result reminded me of the Jr flyweight titlefight between Sivenathi Nontshinga and Adrian Curiel.

Nontshinga was a 24 yrs old IBF 108 beltholder with a 12-0 (9 KO) record who just finished his first mandatory defense in his home country. Matchroom was hoping to make him into a lower weight class star and as the co-main of Cordina-Vasquez titlefight, chose to have a voluntary defense against IBF No. 11 ranked Adrian Curiel, who was 23-4-1 with 4KO win at the time. What was intended to be an easy cherry pick KO win for Nontshinga ended in a huge upset when Curiel KOed Nontshinga in the 2nd round to win the belt.

Matchroom immediately set up an immediate rematch which Nontshinga won via KO, which I think will also be the result if Munguia rematched Surace.

Actually, I just checked it out again. Jamie was looking right at Bruno winding up that shot. He probably didn't think it would land that hard though.

Maybe he was looking a Bruno, but not the punch, he wasn't prepared to take a slap much less a punch.

This is a Spanish saying, "Tanto va el cántaro a la fuente, hasta que se rompe". In English is more o less, if oftentimes you take a glass to the well, one day is going to break. Too many cherrypicks.

This was just a ****** defensive lapse by Jaime, walking out the side, hands down and the frog made him pay, hats off, all this talk of Jaime’s chin being done is sensationalism, man got caught is all. I’m sure he will be back and win the rematch

Cherrypick gone wrong. Pretty sure he will be more careful with his next pick.

Maybe so, but the KO loss this far into Jaime's career has to sting more than if it had happened early on as it did with Nontshinga.

He never saw the punch coming,

Ya think ???

Ya think ???

That could explain the one punch ko from a supposedly pillow fisted boxer, unless the guy was 25-0 with 25Ko and it was a typo.

Not "supposedly"
More like "actually".

I said supposedly because he knocked munguia out, maybe he was fighting granite chin boxers, or he just found his power punch. In any case he showed power not seen before. Congratulations to the french, he just weed out another fraud.

Surace had worked on that punch because Roach knew Munguia was open to get hit with it. Surace tried that same punch a few times earlier in the fight. Munguia wasn't expecting it to come at him so fast...
