“[Alvarez’s] counterpunching and speed. The counterpunching – he’s actual quick, and he knows when to punch and when not to punch. He finds real success at the boxing match-up.
“Munguia’s a contender. He jumps at the chance to stay there and stir it up with you, you know? He’s tall, rangy, has great speed and power, and he can be truly challenging [to fight].
“I generally thought that he is fascinating, however Freddie [Roach, the mentor working with Munguia, in their second battle together] having a ton of involvement with the game, too as different mentors, as well, can perhaps alter him into an alternate course and cause the shots to get in there better. Perhaps he can track down the right cadence with Freddie Bug – track down extraordinary beat and track down incredible timing.
“I give Canelo the edge since he has a large portion of the experience, yet I really do see Munguia giving him a few issues and [winning] a portion of the rounds. So we’ll see what occurs, you know? Anything can occur in this battle.
“It very well may be focuses or knockout. It could go the two different ways. Either fellow could win by focuses or [via] knockout.”
Mosley two times recorded triumphs over Oscar De La Hoya, and afterward worked close by him in a special limit with Brilliant Kid Advancements.
For all the extensive common regard among Alvarez and Munguia, the connection between the boss and De La Hoya, his previous advertiser, has become progressively stressed. Mosley said, “I think Oscar realizes the reason why it’s private – on account of what he does. Anything that he does, on account of what he does, he realizes the reason why it’s private – it’s private with every one of his contenders.”
