Comments Thread For: Jessie Vargas: Munguia's Team Was Afraid I Would Beat Him

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS, NV - Former two-division champion Jessie Vargas was on at the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame ceremony this past Saturday at the Red Rock Hotel & Casino. The Las Vegas native had been in negotiations to face unbeaten WBO super welterweight champion Jaime Munguia on September 14th in Southern California but the fight ultimately failed to materialize and Vargas is now hoping to secure a new opponent in the upcoming weeks.

Don't think Jessie Vargas would get close to beating Munguia. He likes to get involved in a scrap too much, is not that powerful a puncher, and is tiny next to him. We'd see the same sort of fight as Munguia-Saddam Ali

Sure and yet they passed up on him for WHO?

Wish Munguia and his team had the same confidence in him that you seem to have.

Munguia is living on borrowed time.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Jessie fight Josesito Lopez again. They got down to business to kick off the Mayweather/Ortiz card!




Oh yeah, fuck Mungia.

Yeah that looked like a duck to me???

Kell Brook, Patrick Teixeira, or Michel Soro! Make It Happen!

At this point I consider Munguia and Gervonta to be limited af. Both refuse to step up and seem protected af. Only diffference is that Gervonta has a huge following.

I always find it intersting with boxing writers description of fighters from African nations....the article mentions the fighter is for Ghana and then in the next sentence calls him “the African” rather than the Ghanaian. I don’t ever recall reading about a Danish, British, Romanian, Ukrainian, Italian, Welsh fighter being referred to as “the european”.....

Sounds like a duck man. But I'm not gonna fault Munguia as much because some of the hype he's gotten has been premature. He was exposed early because of two reasons; the aura of having been denied a shot at GGG, which led some people to think that maybe Munguia could have presented problems to GGG. Second, he beat Ali for a world title but Ali was a welterweight that was coming off a win against an injured Cotto who was also on his way out of the sport. Munguia is young and still green, but I don't fault him. It's the hype machine that needs to slow down.
