Leonard Ellerbe’s summer spent boxing seems to have made him very strong. As he played, he became aware of which way the wind was blowing. The result of hanging out with one of the greatest boxers in history? It is possible. Even if it’s a fight he won’t be directly involved in, the Mayweather Promotions manager can predict the outcome of the fight.
Canelo Alvarez kicks off this season against fellow Mexican Jaime Munguia on Saturday night. Undoubtedly the greatest middleweight champion still holds his title. However, some are reluctant to conclude that the Tijuana-born former champion is innocent. But Leonard Ellerbe refused to take that risk. It looks like the Mayweather Promotions bosses have smelled blood.
Canelo Alvarez vs. Jaime Munguia: It takes on difficult situations
That’s why when Sean Zittel asked him what he thought about the fight, he didn’t pull any punches, and Canelo Alvarez said it would end in brutal fashion on May 4th. — Uh, Canelo — Yes, knocking him down in a brutal fashion. “It was very violent,” Ellerbe said when Zittel asked if the shots ended in the head or the body. Mayweather’s Promotions CEO responded that he thought the job would be done with a body blow.

He also said that he watched a lot of Jaime Munguia’s movies. So, despite being the bigger junior boxer, Ellerbe can read the writing on the wall. Freddie Roach’s intervention could not prevent the inevitable.
Zittel shared his comments with David Benavidez about the fight. It looks like the “Mexican Monster” has some good tips to help Munguia counter the middleweight fighter’s attacks.
Experience is important at the highest level: Leonard Ellerbe
Canelo Alvarez’s trip to T-Mobile Arena won’t be easy, according to the Mexican Monster. Jaime Munguia is a powerful boxer who specializes in combinations. Therefore, it is important for the former welterweight champion to distance himself from the undisputed king. If not, he will be in range of the body shot. Still, Benavidez believes this is a win for Canelo Alvarez.
Leonard Ellerbe is still in doubt. “It’s not as easy as it seems,” he said, explaining why, “because Canelo’s power center is smaller, he knows how to shoot from the bottom, he knows he can walk and when it comes to shooting, he knows how to shoot. His IQ is off the charts.

According to the head of Mayweather Promotions, Jaime Munguia has a lot of fighting experience. But his role in “high-level competition” is largely absent. –and when he went there, he woke up; he didn’t look at John Ryder or anyone else.
Perhaps, considering Canelo Alvarez’s years of fighting at the top, Jaime Munguia has a huge advantage. However, it’s too early to rule out a retired fighter who gave Alvarez a tough fight last year to finish his career. Now fans look forward to seeing if Leonard Ellerbe’s predictions come true.
