Canelo Alvarez vs. Jaime Munguia: Three paths to victory for the underdog in the all-Mexican showdown

Munguia is the young fighter on the rise in this matchup, but he's facing arguably the biggest and best name in the sport

It is no surprise that Jaime Munguia is a significant underdog heading into Saturday's clash with undisputed super middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. The veteran has spent year after year establishing himself as one of the greatest boxers of the modern era while Munguia has compiled an undefeated 43-0 record against a less impressive list of fighters.

Munguia was not seen as the biggest threat to Alvarez at 168 pounds, nor was he seen as the second biggest threat, but he's still the man who got the call. Now, it's on Munguia to make the best of the opportunity he was given when Alvarez chose him for his annual Cinco De Mayo weekend event.

The best thing about the fight game is that everything can turn on a single punch. But does Munguia have more than a puncher's chance against Alvarez? Let's take a look at some of the keys for Munguia to pull off a massive upset on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
