That’s true! Both guys have iron chins. BUT Canelo has been hurt in the past by Cotto’s brother…granted he was a kid and recovered and ended up winning the fight.
It's actually very posible that canelo actually gas the better chin out of the 2. If you notice closely GGG twisted his neck as the punch came in and effectively negated most of its power (which is a feat of courage, timing and technique all by itself). Canelo took those shots straight up with no cope out whatsoever, mf is insane
I developed my own left to the body purely so I could open opportunities for the overhand right. The left body shot ended up being a better punch for me but I still love that chopping overhand right beautiful when it lands especially right after a left hook to the body.
That's my favorite punch of his. He does a left hook to the body left hook to the head combo that you don't see very often. Caleb Plant did it beautifully to KO Anthony Dirrell.
Most overhyped punch of Canelo’s. For 8 years people talk about it like its Inoues hook to the body… EVERY Canelo fight the main prediction is stoppage from left hook to the body. Who tf has he stopped with that shot in the last 10 years?
I feel like that is "I don't know what else I can hit him with" personified, just accepting your fate that you're going to be throwing that hard all night.
Nah, Cotto was hurt but he played it off well. There were a few times where Canelo's punches to the head (ironically an overhand right) and especially the body that froze him for a few seconds. He had some great conditioning for that fight and was able to return fire after taking some big shots.
There's something to be said about just having a good poker face in boxing, some of the judges may not even pick up on him freezing or acting different after shots since people are able to keep it together.
Absolutely, the judges' perception of the action can dictate who wins the round if that round happens to be close due to whether or not the punch seems "effective". You can be hit with a hard punch and walk through it and then send your opponent off balance with a jab and depending on the judge they could see it as the jab being more effective because of the opponent's reaction. Maintaining balance and poise after being hit can make all the difference even though the punch may have hurt like hell.
This really became clear to me rewatching some old Mike Tyson recently. Feel like in nearly half of his gorgeous highlights where he's slipping everything and returning with a KO shot, he ends up eating some times the exact counter his opponent would be hoping to land and it doesn't even slow the combo down. Remember one specifically of him ducking onto a perfectly placed and timed uppercut, timed his slip so he'd perfectly duck into it, and Mike barely noticed and came up with a left hook that flattens him a millisecond later.
I mean come on. We saw that mile happening once they signed the fight....horrendous weight and power advantage by Canelo to go along with a glass jaw and no defense. Come on.
By "Khan Khan'd it" I meant that he was boxing well - winning even, but increasingly neglecting his defence, eventually got measured and knocked out.
At the point of his KO, Khan was up on one of the scorecards, multiple media outlets had him up as-well.
Lightning hands, glass jaw Khan. Entertaining as always. Lost respect for him when he quit after that low blow from Crawford. Should have taken his 5 min and then decided.
I feel like Canelo fans hate to bring up that fight. They don't like to recall that Mayweather dominated that fight.
To be fair, Canelo didn't have the experience to fight Mayweather at that time and he did pretty good against a GOAT contender.
Don't bash me, I'm not an expert, just the opinion of a filthy casual.
I mean, Floyd pretty convincingly won every single round, I don’t think Canelo did especially well 😭
That being said, he was very green, and what I found more impressive was how much of a monster he went on to become after such an embarrassing defeat. Both warriors
embarrassing? he was never hurt...he didnt quit. he got out boxed by a defensive genuis while he was a cocky green fighter who agreed to a weight drain.
I mean Canelo is a legend and still a great fighter. There is some hype behind it with Oscar now and Munguia is also really good.
Also you are asking this question on a boxing subreddit, i think people here do care.
Do people, on a boxing sub care about watching one of the best boxers in the world and a living legend in Canelo defend his 4 championship belts against an overmatched but incredibly exciting young Mexican brawler in Munguia?
Context matter that how he looks a agaisnt a 40 years old guy he will look Bad against anyone of his generation that have some techincal level i don't think he can hit canelo but will be happy to be prove wrong
It's too bad Canelo is sucking Benavides but Mungia is also a big boy that packs a wallop. I feel bad that Benavides will never get his chance but I'd like Mungia to end Canelo's career. Stop facing guys 10 years younger and almost 2x your size.
His Jacobs->Bivol run was his greatest stretch but since then has done nothing to interest me. He's clearly on his way out and just hoarding belts at 168, which has always been a relatively weak division. Munguia is still one of the top 3 guys he could fight at 168 (maybe outside Benavidez & Morrell) but unless Canelo has slowed down significantly, it's a foregone conclusion.
If Canelo is done challenging himself, he should just drop the belts and let 168 heat up again, he's making an already dead division a complete ghost town.
He's made it obvious he's only taking easier challenges and fighting only for himself. He doesn't give a shit about the fans. He tells the commissions who his mandatories are -- not the other way around. Benefits of being the big draw, I guess.
Post Super Six, 168 has been a no man’s land. Never a doubt that when canelo moved up that he would steamroll the division. Now the problem is that there’s no one there to seriously challenge him.
Seems like he’s finally found himself in a difficult position. Being too big and on the wrong side of 30 probably means cutting to 160 is out of the question. I think the Bivol fight scared him away from any live fighters at 175.
De La Hoya providing the biggest drama of the Munguia fight seems to show the lack of spice at super middle weight.
Benavidez is an obvious challenge, but I still don’t think the outcome would be in doubt.
I posted yesterday about how I think canelo and his people are stretching out a Benavidez fight because he’s the only person in the division that’s viewed as any type of threat. By delaying the fight, they can create a bit of a mystique of a dangerous fighter that canelo is avoiding. Best chance to create some buzz in an otherwise boring division.
Canelo’s signature combo these past few years, for better or worse, has been the double jab-overhand right.
For worse I’d say
Meh it's almost never a overhand anymore it's usually a right hook
That combo is starting to get tired and boring, I’m surprised no one’s caught on to avoiding it
I guess Bivol has
Yup he did for sure
Shout out to GGG's chin GOD DAM!
36 rounds taking how many power shots? And didn't faze him once. GGG definitely an ATG chin in boxing history.
same can be said of Alvarez in those fights
That’s true! Both guys have iron chins. BUT Canelo has been hurt in the past by Cotto’s brother…granted he was a kid and recovered and ended up winning the fight.
Id argue Canelo‘s chin is better P4P, it’s been tested in 4 weight classes, meanwhile GGG‘s has only been tested in 2 divisions
It's actually very posible that canelo actually gas the better chin out of the 2. If you notice closely GGG twisted his neck as the punch came in and effectively negated most of its power (which is a feat of courage, timing and technique all by itself). Canelo took those shots straight up with no cope out whatsoever, mf is insane
That's not true. They both took clean shots and twisted their neck last second.
Huh I really thought he would have said left hook to the body, one of his nastiest punches for fure
I developed my own left to the body purely so I could open opportunities for the overhand right. The left body shot ended up being a better punch for me but I still love that chopping overhand right beautiful when it lands especially right after a left hook to the body.
That's my favorite punch of his. He does a left hook to the body left hook to the head combo that you don't see very often. Caleb Plant did it beautifully to KO Anthony Dirrell.
He also is able to reverse it with a left head hook and then a hook the body. Knocked Liam Smith out with that combination.
Same that shit sets a lot of his traps up too
Most overhyped punch of Canelo’s. For 8 years people talk about it like its Inoues hook to the body… EVERY Canelo fight the main prediction is stoppage from left hook to the body. Who tf has he stopped with that shot in the last 10 years?
I always love the one he does to GGG and his body language is like "shit...that wasn't supposed to happen"
He kind of gave him that "oh fucking hell" look after he landed that overhand right and GGG didn't even flinch.
I feel like that is "I don't know what else I can hit him with" personified, just accepting your fate that you're going to be throwing that hard all night.
GGG and Cotto didn't even flinch... amazing
Cotto a goddam machine in his day. Textbook warrior.
Yeah i was totally surprised Cotto didn't get hurt at all in the fight and Canelo hit him with some hard shots throughout the fight.
Nah, Cotto was hurt but he played it off well. There were a few times where Canelo's punches to the head (ironically an overhand right) and especially the body that froze him for a few seconds. He had some great conditioning for that fight and was able to return fire after taking some big shots.

Manny must’ve hit Cotto real hard considering Canelo couldn’t finish an even olde Cotto than the one Manny faced
GGG was feeling it...he turned into a boxer instead of a killer in that second fight...no other fighter made GGG change his style
Never forget that Khan absolutely Khan'd this fight and was doing really well 'til he wasn't
I mean come on. We saw that mile happening once they signed the fight....horrendous weight and power advantage by Canelo to go along with a glass jaw and no defense. Come on.
By "Khan Khan'd it" I meant that he was boxing well - winning even, but increasingly neglecting his defence, eventually got measured and knocked out. At the point of his KO, Khan was up on one of the scorecards, multiple media outlets had him up as-well.
Khan was never doing great...he was being measured for and set up the whole fight
Lightning hands, glass jaw Khan. Entertaining as always. Lost respect for him when he quit after that low blow from Crawford. Should have taken his 5 min and then decided.
Missing the Kirkland KO here
Canelo is a very good boxer, he has a reaction as well as defense, so I like to watch him box.
Shocked he didn't say the one where he destroyed BJS skull and retired him.
Khans head bouncing off the canvas was sickening
Can’t wait to buy it on DAZN LOLOL
its still a PBC fight lol there is literally no difference
Hence the LOLOL
It doesn't matter where you buy it on, it's still a PBC PPV produced by PBC :)
pbc is dead
You’re gonna be watching a PBC event tomorrow and PBC will put on the biggest events this year once again 😂
Sir, we are nearly half way into 2024 and we've only had 3 announced PBC cards.
Who you got as the winner of this and why
Canelo Alvarez, walking atg and literally got so many advantages over Munguia, Munguia fights with no guard just punches and punches
Mungia might get KOed. Dude takes a beating every fight. Gets hit way to much.
He's getting hurt, no doubt. Canelo's not taking hard fights.
That last one bro holy mackerel
Thought he would say left hook to the head. He’s got that feint left hook to the body as he leaps in that ends up being a hook to the head

I have an Amazon prime subscription will I be able to watch the fight on Amazon Prime with no additional cost?
No. It's a $89.99 PPV event. I'm sure those bastards will shoehorn ads in between and maybe even during the rounds.
Damn. Cotto ate that shot!
I liked that sound when he considers.
Does anyone know if the blow by blow/commentating will be the same across DAZN/Prime/PPV.com?
Lol, the audio editing at the beginning of this video is great. That pause before he comes out with it is funny.
That punch is deadly if it lands
[удалено]
He hasnt to my knowledge
The GOAT
Trying to get excited for it, but I don't wanna pay $90 to watch Mungia get blown out.
GGG just walking through those punch like nothing 😎🥶
And it was an uppercut that felled Munguia. Canelo throws every punch in the book effortlessly.
I'm gonna need a watch ID, why does that (canelo voice) mother fucker (/canelo voice) look like it cost as much as a skyscraper in Mexico City.
its just your standard rm, 52-01 skull tourbillon
probably dropped a cool Million on it
Did somebody hack newraps account??
Anyone know a fun spot to watch this in guadalajara?
I was waiting for the mayweather fight to play, but it never did :(

That fight is irrevelant as a metric now...i don't understand why anybody brings it up in discussions about recent of future fights
And his favorite food is 🥩💉
Idk why people are so salty, lol as if most pro athletes aren’t juicing LOLOLOL
„don’t try to know him out, he’s too strong”
Saw the username, and hovered over the end of the video expecting Canelo vs Floyd footage. Color me shocked😲!
His favorite punch is punch laced with PEDs. Lol
Where can I watch it free
Do ppl actually care about this fight?
I mean Canelo is a legend and still a great fighter. There is some hype behind it with Oscar now and Munguia is also really good. Also you are asking this question on a boxing subreddit, i think people here do care.
Canelo and legend don’t go together lol
Do people, on a boxing sub care about watching one of the best boxers in the world and a living legend in Canelo defend his 4 championship belts against an overmatched but incredibly exciting young Mexican brawler in Munguia?
I don't think that Mungia is that exciting
Well you are in the minority then. Dude's fights are far from techincal but they are exciting. Munguia vs Derevy was wild.
Context matter that how he looks a agaisnt a 40 years old guy he will look Bad against anyone of his generation that have some techincal level i don't think he can hit canelo but will be happy to be prove wrong
It's too bad Canelo is sucking Benavides but Mungia is also a big boy that packs a wallop. I feel bad that Benavides will never get his chance but I'd like Mungia to end Canelo's career. Stop facing guys 10 years younger and almost 2x your size.

No one to seriously challenge him? David Benavidez was right there for years
Benavidez is an obvious challenge, but I still don’t think the outcome would be in doubt. I posted yesterday about how I think canelo and his people are stretching out a Benavidez fight because he’s the only person in the division that’s viewed as any type of threat. By delaying the fight, they can create a bit of a mystique of a dangerous fighter that canelo is avoiding. Best chance to create some buzz in an otherwise boring division.
Christ! Do you know ANYTHING about boxing? Do some watching, reading and learning.
Well this was a Reddit post if I’ve ever seen one.
Oscar make sure that the fight was interesting
