Prime Rank has signed a co-promotional take care of former WBO Junior middleweight champion Jaime Munguia. Promoter Bob Arum’s Prime Rank firm will co-promote the 27-year-old Munguia (43-1, 34 KOs) and Fernando Beltran, his long-time promoter.
The Want for Safety
Munguia will battle Erik Bazinyan (32-0-1, 23 KOs) on September twentieth. It’s unclear what route Prime Rank will take with Munguia. I don’t see Munguia changing into a star as a result of he will get hit an excessive amount of, and he must be protected to maintain himself from being overwhelmed.
So long as Prime Rank desires to match him like they did Edgar Berlanga, he’ll be wonderful, however he can’t be reworked right into a Canelo Alvarez kind of expertise. He must be protected, and that’s not somebody who can change into a star. Munguia is Berlanga 2.0, and that’s not somebody that Prime Rank can depend on over the lengthy haul.
Munguia is sweet for what Golden Boy did with him by matching him towards positive issues for a giant cash-out kind of battle, which he received towards Canelo and was overmatched.
Munguia’s greatest wins:
– John Ryder
– Sergiy Derevyanchenko: *Razor shut
– Dennis Hogan: *Controversial
– Gabriel Rosado
– Gary O’Sullivan
– Kamil Szeremeta
– Liam Smith
– Sadam Ali
– Jimmy Kelly
Regardless of shedding the battle, Munguia stays ranked excessive at 168 at #2 WBC, #5 WBO, #7 IBF and #7 WBA. It’s unlikely that Canelo will give Munguia a rematch if he works his manner again into the obligatory spot as a result of it might look foolish to push a second battle between them down the throats of the followers except both of them took on fighter, like David Benavidez.
Munguia isn’t going to show something by defeating Erik Bazinyan as a result of his resume is much more inflated than his personal. Jaime can be addition for Prime Rank if the plan is to maintain him protected till Canelo retires after which go after certainly one of his belts. Nevertheless, it is going to be the identical in the event that they put Munguia in with somebody good, like David Benavidez, Christian Mbilli, and Caleb Plant.
Munguia is an efficient fighter if Prime Rank desires to match him like they did with Edgar Berlanga when he was a part of their firm, however he’s not ok to be thrown in with A-level guys.
Erik Morales might be again in Munguia’s nook as his coach for his subsequent battle towards Bazinyan on September twentieth. Freddie Roach educated Munguia for the Canelo battle, and he couldn’t stop him from being dominated.
