Here I explain everything you need to know about the boxing event with the schedules, television channels and streaming platforms.
After recent lackluster victories, Mexican Saúl ‘Canelo’ Alvarez wants to ratify his status as an emblem of world boxing on Saturday in Las Vegas (United States) against the undefeated Jaime Munguia, the first compatriot he has faced since 2017.
For years, Canelo refused to face Mexican rivals, claiming that he was fighting to represent his country. At 33 years old, Alvarez now breaks his norm by ensuring that Munguía earned the opportunity to challenge him for his four super middleweight belts (168 pounds-76.2 kg) in this event framed in the Mexican festivities of May 5 .
Munguia, 27, is a discreet boxer outside the ring, far from the excesses of other boxers, but with size (ten centimeters taller than Canelo) and firepower that can put the experienced champion in trouble.
“Of course he has power. He is a good boxer, I like his style,” Alvarez acknowledged in the previous press conference.
Even so, the boxer from Guadalajara (west) was confident that his talent and experience will allow him to emerge victorious from a duel destined to enter the memory of Mexican boxing, where battles such as those between Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera are remembered. at the beginning of the century.
“I don’t know if (Munguia) he is younger or older than me. But I am Canelo and I don’t care,” he stressed. “We are going to win decisively, that’s what we’re here for. Let everyone enjoy it and let it be a Mexican party.”
