Jaime Munguia and Bruno Surace meet in a rematch at Super Middle Weight as the main support on May 3 at the Undercard Canelo Alvarez against William Scull in Riyadh. Saudi Arabia.
Salvador Rodriguez reports That Munguia (44-2, 35 COs) will fight against the unbeaten Surace (26-0-2, 5 COs) after being knocked out by him last year in Tijuana, Mexico, last year.
Career suicide?
It is an ominous move by Munguia, 28, to take the rematch immediately without getting a tune -up under his belt to help a distance between what the Frenchman Bruno Surace did to him two months ago. It must be a ghostly experience for Munguia. If there are still remnants of that knockout, Jaime will not last long before he is knocked out again.
This man is wrong for Munguia, who has too many miles on his kilometer count from a long career to take the kind of shots with which the younger, Frisser Surace will hit him. The 46 battles that Munguia had in his career took a lot out of him. We saw that not only against Surace, but also in Mungia’s fighting against Canelo, Erik Bazhinyan, Sergiy Derevyanchenken and Gary O’Sullivan.
Surace, 26, came into the fight in December last year because he did not have a reputation of being a puncher, but you could see from the second round that he was deadly with his cobra-like right hand. Munguia dropped him in that round.
Once the action was delayed, Surace Munguia nailed with a right hand that was quickly lightened, and it was a surprise that the Mexican fighter remained on his feet. Surace continued to hit Munguia with the same shot in rounds 3, 4 and 5 until he knocked him out in sixth place.
Easy money for Surace
If Munguia is knocked out by Surace again, he must think about the retirement, because it will only get worse for him. Returning to 160 is perhaps an option for Mungiaa to save his career, but even in that weight class there are some murderers, such as Janibek Alimkhanuly and Hamzah Sheeraz, who will finish what Surace started.
Munguia looks shot at this point in his career. The thing is that he was never good at first, and more of a protected hype work, and some beliefs created exclusively to get big money against Canelo. Now that he has fulfilled his fate, he is a used shell, like a spider lying and dying.
