The undisputed super middleweight title is on the line on Saturday night in Las Vegas
Despite all of the extracurricular activities that have dominated fight week, the weather report for Saturday's All-Mexico showdown in Las Vegas between Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia remains sunny with high probability of excitement. Canelo Alvarez (c) -500 Jaime Munguia +350 Undisputed super middleweight title Mario Barrios (c) -1100 Fabian Maidana +650 WBC interim welterweight title Brandon Figueroa (c) -1400 Jessie Magdaleno +700 WBC interim featherweight title Eimantas Stanionis (c) -1400 Gabriel Maestre +700 WBA "regular" welterweight title
Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) will defend his undisputed super middleweight championship in the main event of a PBC on Prime Video pay-per-view card (8 p.m. ET; simulcast on DAZN PPV) from T-Mobile Arena against the hard-charging Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs). The Cinco de Mayo weekend clash represents the first time Alvarez will be fighting a fellow countryman since his 2017 beatdown of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
Although Alvarez remains a 5-to-1 betting favorite due to his advantages in experience and craft, the expectations remain high that a competitive firefight is ahead of us given that Munguia, the 27-year-old native of Tijuana who is trained by Hall of Famer Freddie Roach, fights in the classic, all-action Mexican style.
