See here the gallery of images of the fight between ‘Canelo’ and Munguía

The Mexican war was not left to chance, despite the fact that they did not knock out – as promised -, Saúl Álvarez and Jaime Munguía gave a sample of what tricolor boxing is, characterized by aggressiveness.

Although the Tijuana native made the man from Guadalajara stagger throughout the fight, “Canelo” managed to take the victory and take away his undefeated record, thanks to the fact that he sent him to the canvas in the fourth round, a decisive blow in the fight. “Canelo” Álvarez remains the absolute champion of the super middleweights, this fourth defense of the titles of the World Council, World Association, World Organization and International Boxing Federation was also won by unanimous decision of the judges, who gave their cards 117- 110, 116- 111 and 115 and 112.

Jaime understood that it was the opportunity of his life and he did not waste it; He let Saúl know with several combinations to his face that made the man from Jalisco “dance.” In the corners you could see the calm of Freddie Roach, while Eddy Reynoso showed nervousness.

For the fourth round “Canelo” made his experience valid and gave Jaime a “stay still.” With his powerful left hand he made him visit the canvas. This blow caused Munguía to lower his intensity in the following rounds.

The knockout that Saúl promised in the eighth round did not come, on the contrary, Munguía came out with his guard well placed and with his long arms he kept the distance, and then once again showed his punch to the champion of the category.

Just as the boxers did their best, the audience recognized them with applause and cheers for both of them.

Yes, a worried “Canelo” was seen since the public was divided and at times they even booed him. After the final bell the nervousness was evident and when the result was heard there was a sector that booed and another that shouted with excitement. This fight will undoubtedly generate controversy, although if they want this to be resolved, the rematch clause has already been activated.
