Freddie Roach Calls It: Munguia Will KO Canelo In Major Upset

Trainer Freddie Roach is calling it, saying Jaime Munguia will be “too much” for Canelo Alvarez will knock him out this Saturday night in their headliner on the $89.99 Amazon Prime Video PPV and DAZN PPV card at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

It’s going to cost fans an arm and a leg to watch this fight on Amazon Prime PPV, but it could be worth it to see how the aging Canelo holds up under the firepower of the young lion Munguia.

Roach is predicting a major upset on Saturday night, as promoter Oscar De La Hoya says, a “Changing of the guard.” A new rooster will rule the roost at 168.

Why Roach is Smirking

• Munguia’s Got Canelo’s Number: Unbeaten Munguia’s power, size, and finishing ability will be too much for Alvarez. show. The old veteran Canelo hasn’t faced this level of a fighter with Munguia’s power and combination punching. It’ll be too much for him on Saturday night.
• Canelo’s Skills Won’t Be Enough This Time: Canelo won’t be able to counter-punch his way out of Munguia’s storm of punches. We already saw Canelo fall apart from the high-volume shots Bivol threw at him two years ago, but that’s nothing compared to what Munguia will unleash.
• Roach Knows His Stuff: Freddie is a legend and has been around the sport for years since Canelo was just a young lad still learning the ropes. Roach will have the right game plan for his pupil Munguia, who is follows his instructions to the letter.

Roach says the power of Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) will be too much for undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KOs) to withstand.

Munguia’s Power the Key Factor

“He’s 100% ready for this guy, and I think he has the power to knock him out, and the power and the reach. I think he’s going to be too much,” said trainer Freddie Roach to Boxing News about his fighter, Jaime Munguia being too much for Canelo Alvarez this Saturday night.

Canelo’s legacy will be on the line in this fight, but going up against the knockout artist Munguia could end badly for him. With Roach in his corner, the young phenom is ready to tame the Canelo beast and bring him to heel.
