The pride of Tijuana, former WBO junior middleweight champion Jaime Munguia (37-0, 30 KOs), is only a few days away from his dangerous middleweight clash with “King” Gabriel Rosado (26-13-1, 15 KOs), which place on Saturday night at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
The fight, which is being streamed by DAZN, presents a lot of danger for Munguia, who loves to mix it up with his opponents in the ring.
In order to move forward with his hunt for another world title, Munguia will need to defeat an opponent like Rosado - who has a clear edge in experience with fights against Gennady Golovkin, Daniel Jacobs, Peter Quillin, and several others.
“I am very ready and excited to be fighting in Anaheim among all my fans in Southern California. I can assure everyone that it will be great fight and a great night for boxing," Munguia said.
“I know that Rosado is coming off a great fight, a great knockout and has a lot of experience. I know I have to be careful but I have faith in my training and I am confident that I will be victorious on Saturday.
“We make a great team with Erik Morales. Thanks to him I have had a great training camp and I feel like my boxing skills have advanced.
“I know on Saturday I have to keep my distance and apply pressure where I need to. I need to make sure I dominate the action in the ring.”
Also on the card, Santa Ana’s Alexis “Lex” Rocha (17-1, 11KOs) and Jeovanis Barraza (22-1, 15KOs) of Barranquilla, Colombia, will collide in a 10-round welterweight co-main event.
The DAZN show opener will see William Zepeda (23-0, 21KOs) in a scheduled 10-round fight against Miami’s John Moralde (24-4, 13KOs) for the WBA Continental America’s Lightweight title.
