This combat with Munguia will give Surace an opportunity to get some recognition.
Munguia’s promoters needed to do some actual digging to search out 26-year-old Surace, however not less than he’s going through a fighter with an unbeaten document, even when it’s crammed with unknown opposition.

If Munguia wins this combat, he’ll have the choice of going through former tremendous middleweight world title challenger Edgar Berlanga, who’s coming off a large 12-round unanimous determination to Canelo on September 14th.
Munguia want to get a rematch with Canelo. Nonetheless, the possibilities of that ever occurring are slim, particularly if he’s preventing no-name opposition like Surace and Bazinyan. If Munguia needs the second combat with Canelo, he should beat a lot of these fighters:
