Preamble
Hello and welcome to tonight’s super middleweight championship fight between Canelo Álvarez and Jaime Munguía. We’ve got a fascinating matchup in store as the 33-year-old Álvarez, a four-division champion and boxing’s biggest star, puts his WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO titles at 168lbs on the line against the 27-year-old Munguía, who is unbeaten in 43 professional bouts with 34 wins inside the distance.
It’s only the sixth all-Mexican undisputed title fight at any weight in boxing history and the first in more than 52 years, when Rafael Herrera stopped Ruben Olivares for the WBA and WBC bantamweight titles on 19 March 1972.
We’re about 90 minutes away from the main event. Plenty more to come between now and then.
Bryan will be here shortly. In the meantime here’s Donald McRae’s interview with Oscar De La Hoya from earlier this week.
