Canelo has long been assured of prime real estate in the boxing hall of fame, but his defeat of Jermell Charlo, last time out, was his first truly convincing display in some time. Even then, it went the distance, just like his previous three bouts – a victory of attrition over John Ryder, a hollow win over a 40-year-old Gennady Golovkin, and a spirited defeat at the hands of light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, only the second loss of his career.
Munguia, on the other hand, looks every inch a fighter approaching his prime, and a staggering 34 of his 43 victories have come by way of knockout.
There's talk of a seismic upset in the air, which is all the more reason to take note of all the Canelo vs Munguia times below and be sure not to miss the action!
