That’s all for tonight. Thanks for following along with us as always and be sure to check out the full report here.

“I came out well but I think at the beginning, I was winning some of those rounds,” Munguia says through a translator. “It was going well and I let my hands go but he was a fighter with a lot of experience, obviously. He beat me. Unfortunately, he beat me. The loss hurts, it definitely hurts.”

Munguía doesn’t hesistate when asked if he would have won against anybody other than Álvarez tonight: “Yes, there’s no doubt.”

He adds: “I started well but I obviously had some problems.”
