Munguia's fans will enjoy this fight, as he has been looking to fight Canelo since he started training 11 years ago. Some fans who wanted to see Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KOs) take on the tough guys, David Benavidez or David Morrell Jr., will be disappointed by this news.
These are the fights they wanted to see from Canelo, not Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs), who will be a big slugger with a chance to win. Munguia is an improvement over Canelo's last opponent, Jermell Charlo, but not by much. Munguia will at least try to win, but it's going to be hopeless unless Canelo gets old overnight.
It will be interesting to see how the structure goes between the two, with press conferences requiring a translator for Munguia. Canelo speaks broken English, but it's unclear if he can speak well enough to create a buzz for this fight.
Munguia was the guy Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) wanted on May 4th, reportedly believing that this was a fight that would help them more financially on Amazon Prime PPV than Canelo's first choice, Jermall Charlo.
Munguia is a money-making fight, but it won't be the fights of Canelo's first two fights with Gennadiy Golovkin or his fights with Floyd Mayweather Jr and Miguel Cotto. Munguia will impress enough fans to keep the PBC happy.
The fight is a sure win for Canelo in my opinion.
