By Elliot Worsell COMPARISONS with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez are nothing new in the world of Jaime Munguia, yet never will the Mexican have felt such scrutiny and the need for favourable comparisons than last night (January 27) in Phoenix, Arizona.

Jaime Munguia handled business tonight in DAZN’s main event, stopping a game John Ryder in nine rounds, dropping him four time along the way, and making his case as a deserving candidate to face Canelo Alvarez. Munguia came out and attacked early, just as you might expect out of a Munguia fight led by Freddie
LAST night’s defeat to Jaime Munguia could have been the final fight in the career of John Ryder according to his promoter Eddie Hearn. At the Footprint Centre in Phoenix, Arizona a largely pro-Munguia crowd witnessed the Mexican, 43-0 (34) overpower the Brit with a ninth-round stoppage victory which included four knockdowns. The last person
THE RESULT: Jaime Munguia does what Canelo Alvarez could not and stops John Ryder in nine rounds after throwing the kitchen sink at the Brit for most of the fight. KEY MOMENTS: The resolute Ryder was dropped four times during the fight. Once in round two, once in the fourth and then twice in the
Gabriela Fundora never panicked Saturday night. Christina Cruz outboxed her during the first half of their IBF flyweight title, but the aggressive, patient, stronger Fundora began landing harder shots during the sixth round and took complete control of their 10-round championship clash on the Jaime Munguia-John Ryder undercard at Footprint Center in Phoenix. Fundora (13-0,
Lewis Crocker stayed unbeaten with a fifth round TKO win over Jose Felix today at Ulster Hall in Belfast. Crocker (19-0, 11 KO) had dropped Felix in the fourth round before dropping him again in the fifth. Felix (40-7-1, 31 KO) had also been penalized a point in round three for low blows. Crocker missed
THE RESULT: Lewis ‘The Croc’ Crocker delights the Belfast faithful inside the city’s Ulster Hall by finishing Mexican dangerman Jose Felix in round five. KEY MOMENTS: Felix was docked a point in round three by referee Marcus McDonnell for throwing a second low blow, the first affecting Crocker far more. Crocker threw a peach of a
Promoter Oscar De La Hoya apparently doesn’t want to be the odd man out amid the burgeoning boxing scene in Saudi Arabia. The Hall of Fame fighter and founder of Golden Boy Promotions indicated to reporters recently that he had some qualms about sending fighters over to the oil-producing kingdom to participate in the high-profile
Lewis Crocker returns to action today, headlining at home in Belfast, to face Jose Felix in a DAZN main event from Ulster Hall.

By Elliot Worsell ONE of the golden rules of boxing is this: if you can’t manage to beat Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, at least lose in a manner that has people wanting to see you in action again. This was something John Ryder, nobody’s fool, not only understood when facing Alvarez back in May but was

Former undisputed super welterweight champion Jermell Charlo may be down to one belt, as Dan Rafael and Keith Idec both report that he either has been or will be named champion in recess. As a result, Sebastian Fundora and Serhii Bohachuk will battle it out for the full title on March 30th instead of the
Dmitry Bivol would be gravely mistaken if he thinks he can whip punches on Arthur Beterbiev the way he did on Canelo Alvarez, warns a member from Beterbiev’s inner circle. Bivol, the WBA light-heavyweight titlist, and Beterbiev, the WBO, WBC, IBF champion, are expected to vie for the undisputed championship in the summer, in Riyadh,
Posted on 01/26/2024 By: Sean Crose Ryan Garcia thought he’d be fighting Rolando Romero next. “I understand that there has been a lot of confusion,” the popular boxer went so far as to post online, “but this fight is happening.

We’re travelling the untrodden path of Belfast to Phoenix via London in search of value this weekend, as Jaime Munguia (1/4) and Lewis Crocker (1/12) attempt to make statements as big betting favourites. ‘Gorilla’ warfare John Ryder is a tough, tough bastard.
