The rising super middleweight contender faces another stiff test on his quest to become a world champion
After years of criticism from boxing fans for what was viewed as a soft schedule for a fighter of his skill level, Jaime Munguia found himself in the toughest fight of his career this past June, outlasting Sergiy Derevyanchenko in a war. On Saturday, he'll look to build on that fight when he takes on another stiff test in John Ryder in a super middleweight bout.
Munguia's record is impressive on paper, at 42-0 with 33 knockouts. He won a world title in 2018, smashing through Sadam Ali in just four rounds to take the WBO light middleweight championship. Munguia followed that up with an impressive and hard-fought win over Liam Smith. Four more title defenses followed, none against fighters who were expected to give Munguia much of a challenge.
After moving up to middleweight and then super middleweight, Munguia cruised through fights against overmatched opponents. In only three of his fights after winning the WBO title against Ali was Munguia less than a -1000 favorite.
