There hasn’t been a lot of a promotion for the Munguia vs. Coria combat, and also you wouldn’t know that it’s taking place except have been trying carefully.
It’s unclear why Golden Boy picked out Coria because the opponent for Munguia as a result of recession from the opposition the 26-year-old former WBO junior middleweight champion has been dealing with since he moved as much as 160 three years in the past in 2019.
Munguia is hoping to get a title shot subsequent 12 months in opposition to IBF/WBA middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin or WBC champ Jermall Charlo, but it surely stays to be seen whether or not that’ll occur.
If Munguia does get a crack at a kind of guys, hopefully, he’ll be prepared as a result of his opposition hasn’t ready him for what he’ll be coping with in opposition to both of these champions.
“I’m very excited to be in Guadalajara! We’re able to convey a present to the followers right here. In boxing, there are not any easy opponents, and Coria isn’t any exception. We hope that after we cross this hurdle, we’re set for a giant combat in 2023,” stated Munguia throughout Thursday’s last press convention.
The Argentinan Coria has been in with a handful of well-known fighters and misplaced every time. That most likely explains why he’s been picked out for Munguia to combat as a result of he’s not a menace to beating him.
Coria’s greatest opposition:
- Fiodor Czerkaszyn – UD 10 loss
- Janibek Alimkhanuly – TKO 2 loss
- Marcos Reyes – UD 12 – win
- Francisco Emanuel Torres – UD 10 loss
- Artur Akavov – UD 10 loss
“I’m excited for the chance to showcase my expertise in opposition to an awesome champion like Jaime. We’ve got educated laborious, and are available Saturday, the followers are in for a deal with,” stated Coria.
If Coria beats Munguia, that might be an enormous shock and an actual disappointment for Golden Boy Promotions as a result of they’ve not but been capable of put him in with a giant title throughout his profession.
