In Las Vegas, two Mexican fighters successfully made weight for their upcoming super middleweight world title bout. Saul Alvarez, the reigning champion, weighed in at 166.8 pounds while his challenger Jaime Munguia tipped the scales at 167.4 pounds. The two fighters exchanged respectful handshakes on stage in front of a crowd of fans at the T-Mobile Arena.
Alvarez expressed confidence in his abilities and readiness for the fight, stating that he feels in his prime and is in his best shape ever after undergoing surgery on his left hand following a loss in 2022. He has since won three straight decisions and is looking to defend his four super middleweight belts against Munguia.
Munguia, with a record of 43-0 and 34 knockouts, is eager to seize the opportunity to become world champion. Although he faces an experienced opponent, Munguia remains confident in his abilities and is focused on achieving victory.
The bout has been hyped as a potential changing of the guard in boxing, with Munguia looking to dethrone Alvarez. Despite the talk of experience versus youth, Alvarez remains confident in his abilities and is focused on securing a decisive victory in defense of his WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO world titles. The fight has drawn significant interest from fans leading up to the Cinco de Mayo holiday, creating an exciting buildup for what promises to be a thrilling matchup in the super middleweight division.
