Forget fireworks – Cinco de Mayo weekend in Las Vegas is primed for an EXPLOSION as boxing superstars Canelo Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) and Jaime Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) collide on May 4th. Canelo, the undisputed super middleweight champion, will risk his crown against the undefeated challenger Munguia.

Both fighters boast impressive records, but who will leave the T-Mobile Arena victorious? Former champion Tim Bradley throws his hat in the ring with a clear prediction, but will Canelo’s iron chin hold up against Munguia’s relentless attack?

Is Munguia setting himself up for a fall?

Tim Bradley’s analysis cuts through the noise with precision. “Munguia ain’t knocking out no damn Canelo,” he asserts. Bradley underscores the resilience that defines Alvarez, “That dude got the best chin in the business, bruh.” His respect for Canelo’s durability is palpable, especially highlighting the Mexican superstar’s past encounters with Gennady Golovkin. “Triple G couldn’t even hurt Canelo,” Bradley notes.

Furthermore, Bradley acknowledges Munguia’s strengths but quickly points out the crucial flaws. “He’s bigger than Canelo, standing at six foot,” he concedes. “However, he makes mistakes.” It’s these errors Bradley believes will be Munguia’s downfall against a tactician like Alvarez. Delving deeper, Bradley lauds Canelo’s strategic prowess. “A great counterpuncher like Canelo, how cerebral he is and how he’s able to set traps with his opponents,” he comments.

Moreover, Bradley draws on past performances to solidify his argument. He references Munguia’s bout with Derevyanchenko, “Derevyanchenko was able to get Munguia’s behind,” suggesting that if Munguia struggled there, Canelo’s prospects shine even brighter. “Some people even thought that Derevyanchenko beat Munguia,” Bradley adds

Under the guidance of the legendary Freddy Roach, Munguia has shown marked improvement, making Chavez Jr. lean towards the younger fighter’s corner. “I see like a lot of progress on every fight, so with Freddy Roach, I have confidence in Munguia, but of course, Canelo is the favorite,” he admits, recognizing the uphill battle Munguia faces against the favored Alvarez.
