Canelo Alvarez to Face Jaime Munguia in High-Stakes May 4th Bout

The fight marks a potential 'changing of the guard' in the super middleweight division, with both fighters facing pivotal career tests.

Oscar De La Hoya believes Jaime Munguia's fight against Canelo Alvarez on May 4th, 2024, represents a pivotal moment for the young boxer, potentially marking a 'changing of the guard' in the super middleweight division.
Despite skepticism from some, including former opponent Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Munguia's recent performance and training with Freddie Roach have bolstered confidence in his readiness for the challenge.
Negotiations for the fight revealed underlying tensions between De La Hoya, Canelo Alvarez, and other stakeholders, but were ultimately successful, setting the stage for a highly anticipated bout.
Questions linger about Munguia's ability to challenge Alvarez effectively, given his relatively thin resume at 168 pounds, but his aggressive style and power make him a formidable opponent.
The fight is seen as a test for both fighters: for Munguia, an opportunity to ascend to the top of the division, and for Alvarez, a chance to prove his continued dominance despite concerns about his durability.
