That happens on Saturday as the former WBO junior middleweight champion takes on former two-time middleweight title challenger Gabe Rosado from the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
After a successful run at 154 pounds in which he captured the WBO belt and made five consecutive title defenses, Munguia (37-0, 30 KOs) ventured up middleweight and has gone 3-0, with all of them coming via stoppage. Now, he takes on his most formidable opponent and perhaps his stiffest test in his professional career.
Rosado (26-13-1, 15 KOs) had been primarily viewed as a gatekeeper throughout his career. However, the narrative changed when he took on former two-time middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs in November 2020. Jacobs won a tight split-decision victory that most felt Rosado should have won in a nip-and-tuck bout. Instead, Rosado continued his momentum in June, notching a "Knockout of the Year" win over Bektemir Melikuziev.
