Jaime Munguia says he’s interested by preventing Edgar Berlanga in 2025 and feels that may be a “good battle.” This is able to be a business-level match as a result of this isn’t a cutting-edge sort of matchup, as neither of those guys goes wherever within the division.
Berlanga (22-1, 17 KOs) has been speaking nonstop about his curiosity in going through Munguia (44-1, 35 KOs) subsequent since his vast 12-round unanimous choice loss to Canelo Alvarez on September 14th. The scores had been 118-109, 117-110, and 118-109.
Munguia-Berlanga could be a battle involving contenders not too long ago overwhelmed by Canelo, each of which try to work right into a second conflict shortly. It’s believed that Canelo carried Munguia out of respect and never eager to knock out a fellow Mexican. Munguia was out of his class, and was fortune to not get knocked out by Canelo.
Mexico vs. Puerto Rico?
He doesn’t perceive why Berlanga celebrated his loss afterward, and he feels that was ridiculous. Pathetic is the proper time period. Afterward, Berlanga cruised round Puerto Rico behind a truck, being handled like a hero as an alternative of a loser. That was so totally weird.
The Eddie Hearn-promoted Berlanga sees it as a battle that may promote on PPV, viewing it as a conflict between Mexico and Puerto Rico. The Brooklyn, New York native Berlanga desires to market the battle as a match between these nations.
Munguia is preventing subsequent Saturday evening in opposition to little-known Bruno Surace (20-0-2, 4 KOs) in a 10-round contest on December 14th in Tijuana, Mexico.
“I don’t know what to say. I don’t have a good time a loss. I work onerous so I can study. So, for me, I believe it’s ridiculous to have a good time a loss,” stated Jaime Munguia to Struggle Hub TV, speaking about Edgar Berlanga celebrating his loss to Canelo Alvarez on September 14th.
“I respect him as a fighter, however I believe it seems to be ridiculous to have a good time a loss. Let’s do this battle. It will be battle for subsequent 12 months. So, let’s do it,” stated Munguia about his curiosity in preventing Berlanga in 2025.
“It’s not the primary objective [to Fight Berlanga]. There’s Caleb Plant, and Mbilli, who’s with High Rank. First, we now have this dedication on December 14th [against Bruno Surace in Tijuana], If all goes properly, we wish to have a fantastic battle subsequent 12 months.
A Enterprise-level Struggle
It will be extra attention-grabbing for Munguia to check himself in opposition to Mbilli, Plant, or Osleys Iglesias than preventing Berlanga. If Munguia wished to realize the respect of followers, he’d select these guys somewhat than Berlanga. Nevertheless, it’s uncertain that he’ll for apparent causes. He’d lose.
Munguia is minimize from the identical fabric as Berlanga is when it comes to how he’s been matched throughout his profession. So, as an alternative of breaking the mould from how he’s been groomed for 11 years, he’ll virtually absolutely battle Berlanga, which might be a business-level battle.
So, it’s predictable that he’ll battle Berlanga somewhat than threat getting overwhelmed by Mbilli, Plant, or Iglesias. Combating any of these three could be Munguia going in opposition to his grain as a result of he’s by no means fought good contenders throughout his 11-year profession.

“Now we have to see what the folks need. I believe the higher battle is with Berlanga. I believe folks will like that battle. There are a number of fights at 168, however we’ll see what the general public desires.
“It will likely be battle, however I believe Munguia will win as a result of expertise. I believe he has much more expertise than Morrell and is stronger,” stated Munguia concerning the February 1st battle between David Benavidez and David Morrell. “They’re each undefeated; they’re with the identical promoter. It seems to be like a really thrilling battle,” stated Munguia.
David Benavidez is NOT a stronger puncher than David Morrell, and never even shut. Munguia has turned it the wrong way up with that view. Benavidez is a quantity puncher, not an influence man, and lacks the pop to battle the way in which he used to when he was belting right down to marketing campaign in opposition to smaller fighters at 168.
