    Rosado and Murata would be fun as hell. Would love to see him fight these guys.

      Same reason I loved Gatti fights.

      Sit back and enjoy the show.

        Yeah, I lost quite a bit of enthusiasm for Munguia when he didn't finish Liam Smith. Liam is a good pro and all but I thought Jaime should have ended that early. Similar to tonight in that, he landed a bunch of hard shots but didn't get the opponent out of there. I'm starting ot think those KO numbers were mainly due to fight so-so competition. His defense leaves a lot to be desired but I'm not sure if he seemingly ignores defending because he isn't getting hurt or if he's just stubborn.

          He really does need to vary his punches though

            Right? Throwing just body and head shots aren't gonna cut it for fight fans.

              He has a fan friendly style but it wouldn’t last him in the game. He is too young to be fighting like that, reminds me of Fernando Vargas. Who had retire in early age.

                I think he's the best example of the weight-bully fighter out there and also the best demonstration on how falling into that mould can damage your development as a fighter. When you look like King Kong next to most of your opponents and they can't hurt you, you can win fights just by standing in front of them and trading. However, by fighting that way you don't learn to use essential skills like blocking, defensive footwork or head movement. Reportedly Munguia had trouble making weight for this fight so he'll probably have to move up to MW soon. There, he'll now be on even footing with his opponents physically, except he's probably going to have inferior defence against guys who do have all that stuff in their toolkit. If I were him I'd move up now and start getting rounds in against respectable middleweight opposition while he's still young enough to justify doing so rather than spend any longer rolling over light middleweights and stagnating.

                  Julian Williams his wack. Well all the fighters in his division are avoiding him so his definetly is a good boxer.
