Canelo Álvarez vs. Jaime Munguía was a professional boxing match contested on May 4, 2024, for the WBA (Super), WBC, WBO, IBF and The Ring super middleweight titles.
Background
In early March 2024 it was announced the reigning undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Álvarez would defend his crown against his undefeated countryman and former light middleweight champion Jaime Munguía two months later on May 4, 2024. The 27-year old Munguía had reportedly earned the title shot after impressively defeating former Álvarez opponent John Ryder via ninth-round technical knockout.[1]
Initial plans were to see Álvarez face former 2-division champion Jermall Charlo after having defeated Charlo's twin brother Jermell in his previous fight, however, Álvarez was unable to come to financial terms with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) causing the fight to fall through and Álvarez to temporarily part ways with the company despite having two fight remaining on his current deal.[2][3] Álvarez would return to Premier Boxing Champions on a one-fight deal that would encompass the Munguía fight. The bout would appear on both Amazon Prime's pay-per-view service, which had a deal with PBC, and DAZN, which had an exclusive contract with Golden Boy Promotions, who promoted Munguía.[4]
Fight Details
Munguía got off to a good start and won all three of the first three rounds on two of the judge's scorecards and two of three on the third. However, Álvarez would take control of the fight starting in the fourth, scoring the lone knockdown of the fight after dropping Munguía with a right uppercut. Following the fourth, Álvarez would win the most of the remaining rounds, with Munguía only winning the ninth round unanimously on the three official scorecards. The fight would end up going the full 12-round distance with Álvarez earning the victory via unanimous decision with scores of 117–110, 116–111 and 115–112.[5]
