Munguia appears ready for his close up on the biggest stage after another dominant victory on Saturday
If Saturday night was an audition for Jaime Munguia's hopes of landing a showdown against Mexican icon Canelo Alvarez in May, the unbeaten slugger made one heck of a statement.
Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) scored four knockdowns en route to a dominant ninth-round stoppage of the durable John Ryder (32-7, 18 KOs) inside the Footprint Center in Phoenix. The 35-year-old Ryder, who took Alvarez the 12-round distance last May, announced before the Munguia fight he would retire if defeated.
"It would truly be a great fight among Mexicans," Munguia said, through a translator, about a possible fight with Alvarez. "If Canelo gives us a chance, it would be an honor to share the ring next to him."
