Robert Garcia believes that Jaime Munguia is worthy of a showdown with Canelo Alvarez based on his recent performances.
This past weekend, it was announced that Canelo will defend his super-middleweight titles against his fellow Mexican on May 4 and Garcia believes that fight is more than adequate.
Earlier this year, Munguia scored one of the biggest wins of his career when he destroyed John Ryder who went 12 rounds with Canelo last year.
Munguia has been eager to test himself against Canelo for an extended period and now he’ll finally get that chance in less than two months.
“I think Munguia’s last performance showed that he’s ready and he’s going to compete. He’s going to go out there and give a good fight,” said Garcia when speaking to 210Boxingtv.
“He fought Ryder, and Canelo went the distance with him, and Munguia dropped him a few times and finishes him and stops him, which made it look even better for a huge event against Canelo.
