Jaime Munguia (44-1, 35 KOs) will put his glittering record at risk tonight against the unbeaten Bruno Surace (20-0, 2 4 KOs) in a ten-round homecoming clash in Tijuana, Mexico.
A ‘Gimme’ for Canelo Rematch?
This fight isn’t expected to go the distance, as the French native, Surace, 26, is NOT a contender. He’s what is referred to as a ‘gimme‘ for Munguia to showcase his talent and to keep him winning long enough to be blessed with a rematch with Canelo Alvarez.
