Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez Takes Convincing Decision Over Jaime Munguia

[PRINCEKOOL]

This was the performance I expected by Canelo Alvarez. As I stated during the build up to this fight 'Munguia has the ability to make the fight competitive, but he is not good enough in the area's of boxing which have historically challenged Alvarez the most during his career'.

The area's which have challenged Alvarez the most stylistically are: Endurance, Movement, Elite level defense, and Gears. When you analyse Munguia and Benavidez, you will realize that they are not really elite level fighters in those crucial area's of their game.

Yes Mungia and Benavidez have solid level of Endurance 'But they don't have endurance on the level of Joe Calzaghe and Carl Froch'.

This fight in my opinion was good preparation for Alvarez 'For the potential fight with Benavidez'.

Note: Munguia and Benavidez are similar fighters stylistically 'Both fighters are extremely agressive, and have the ability to throw good punch combinations. But skill for skill they are not highly technical or sophisticated fighters'.

Every single era of boxing, seems to have fighters like Munguia and Benavidez 'Great fighters, solid competitors. But skill for skill, I would not rate them as complete fighters'.

Munguia and Benavidez stylistically directly confront Alvarez 'In the area's of boxing where he excels the most i.e Inside game and defense on attack'.

This why I have been stating for sometime, that David Benavidez stylistically is straight up Canelo Alvarez's street 'The match up is not a difficult fight for Alvarez to prepare, but it is for sure a potentially brutal fight'.

As people witnessed last night, Munguia vs Alvarez 'Was not a easy fight for Alvarez, but skill for skill? You could see the difference in the level of Alvarez's inside game and defense'.

Benavidez vs Alvarez 'Would be a more difficult fight for Alvarez, but stylistically I would expect the action to be very similar'.

If Canelo Alvarez is in solid form 'Benavidez will make the fight very competitive by directly confronting Alvarez in a aggressive fight. But Benavidez will in my opinion struggle to out score and win rounds consistently against Alvarez in that style if fight'.

Alvarez still have the form and level of performance currently right now as we speak to beat Benavidez etc.

He already said, it has to be 200.

If he wants that kinda money for any fight then he's gotta be on phone to Turki and the Saudis

Great fight. None of that running and hugging like the so-called slick fighters do. (Afros). The carrd was great, mostly Hispanic and the Lithuanian guy, all wars.

Munguia held the WBO at 154. And the difference being Munguia performed better against common opponent. Benavidez didn't.

So you're saying Canelo picked Munguia because he's better than Benavidez? bwahahahaha! You didn't use your Boxing IQ for that one, you pulled it outa your azz.

Munguia made a case by knocking out Ryder. Benavidez tried to do that with Plant. And failed.

Get your facts right.

Highly entertaining scrap, Mungia proved he belongs at the top, started really well but the ginger is just too experienced, this Canelo version good enough still to beat Benavidez imo. There not much difference between him and Jaime fighting style.

There's a big difference between munguia and benavidez, for one, benavidez belongs on the top while mungua doesn't, benavidez has a way much better defense, hits harder and has been in division for a lot longer being a champion twice, and avoided by canelo, there's a big reason why was munguia in the ring and not benavidez. He was tailor made for ginger, now on to berlanga.

Lol, ryder is a journeyman and was there for the payment after the beating he took from the bum killer, plant was helped by the ref, he had crazy glue on the gloves. The only reason munguia got the call is because the victory was guaranteed, while benavidez would have been a completely different fight.

Who are you trying to convince? You man canelo is afraid of benavidez. And Munguia is tailor made for canelo.

[garfios]

No
I also thought Nelo would have beaten Biv, too.

Your turn...
Why should Benny get a chance ?

We all think that the champ should defend his title against the best available ranked fighter, also, once in awhile the champ should defend his belt against the #1 contender or vacate the belt. He "should" not get a "chance", he was the #1 ranked fighter and available, he was entitled to that fight. Now you turn why ginger avoided benavidez?

Maybe you didn't know but John Ryder and Caleb Plant are two completely different people, they don't know one another. No offense but it seems like you didn't know that.

You did get the Munguia Ryder correct, Munguia did knock Ryder out and that's wonderful but neither guy has ever fought David Benavidez or Caleb Plant and they don't want to because they wouldn't stand a chance.

As for the other stuff... Benavidez failed? Get your facts right? That's kind of a weak argument, no? Like WTF does that even mean?
