While Munguia isn’t as big as Canelo Alvarez or even some fighters Canelo has faced over the decades of his decorated and embellished career, he does have a devoted, loving and vast fan base, who cherished the special moment shared by the young family just moments before the fight.

Jaime’s wife, Alejandra has remained his pillar of support throughout the training period. In a video she had mentioned, ““I haven’t talked much to him. He has been in camp. I know he’s been very focused. We haven’t had the opportunity to talk openly with him.”

One observant user highlighted how Munguia’s wife never broke eye contact as they were speaking before the fight, suggesting they are in love. Well, it shouldn’t really come as a surprise since they have been married for quite some time, not to mention they also have a kid together.

Another user of the social media platform known as X thought Munguia was an extremely great human being because of his interaction with his family. So, the user felt bad that Munguia might potentially get beaten up by Canelo Alvarez, who is often considered an active legend in the sport of boxing.

One person joyfully proclaimed that the moments experienced by Jaime Munguia and his family are exactly what every man desires in their own life.

Meanwhile, this user celebrated the sheer anticipation of the fight, which will unfold in a few moments! In fact, the truth is, not just this fan, a lot of fans have been waiting for Canelo’s comeback since the day he defeated Charlo last year.
