In a recent statement, boxing champion Canelo Alvarez expressed confidence in his ability to potentially knock out Jaime Munguia. “I have the capability to end the fight early, but I just take it easy,” Canelo remarked. This elucidates why the match unfolded over 12 rounds, to determine the ultimate victor.
“I fought slowly and cautiously, not making any mistakes, and I did what I had to do to win. Munguia is a very strong fighter, and I need to be very vigilant about that, so I maintained a slow pace.”
“He’s strong and smart, but somewhat slow. So I had enough time to calculate my punches and combinations. That upper-cut, it required careful calculation to execute such a combination.”
“Munguia will definitely learn a lot. He did his part well and fought very tenaciously. I hit his body many times. He will evolve after this fight, learning and getting better. Until there’s a successor to me, I just hope it’s a Mexican boxer. Whether it’s Munguia or anyone else!”
Canelo’s remarks shed light on his strategic approach and respect for Munguia’s skills, hinting at a competitive yet respectful relationship between the two fighters. As the boxing world eagerly awaits future matchups and developments, the narrative of Mexican boxing prowess continues to captivate fans worldwide.
