Since Jaime Munguia, 6′ 0″ is taller than 5′ 9″ Ryder, the Mexican boxer can afford to stay outside the pocket and counter with his cross the way Chavez Sr. advised him.

Additionally, given Munguia’s previous performances in the ring, we understand that he possesses commendable stamina and can generate power when needed.
