Tonight’s ESPN+ main card

– Jaime Munguia vs. Bruno Sarace
– Alan Picasso vs. Yehison Coll

Picasso (30-1, 16 KOs) is expected to be the next challenger for undisputed super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue if she wins tonight against Cuello (13-2-2, 11 KOs) in their joint 10 rounds

Munguia has an easy fight tonight against Surace (25-0-2, 4 KOs). None of the four sanctioning bodies rank Surace in the top 15. The reason for this is obvious: Surace’s opposition has been sparse.

It is unclear why Top Rank chose this opponent for Munguia instead of a top contender. If the idea is to make Munguia look great and make sure no one hits him to ruin his chances of a rematch with Canelo, it makes sense to compare him to fighters like Surace and Bazinyan.

Ideally, Munguia should show some courage by facing the top contenders at 168 to speed up the process of getting a rematch with Canelo, but he’s too vulnerable to do that. Munguia didn’t even look good in his last game against Bazinyan.

If Munguia were ambitious and willing to take risks, he would fight these guys to earn the rematch with Alvarez:

– Osleys Iglesias
– Christian Mbilli
– Diego Pacheco
– Plant Caleb

Munguia is not expected to fight any of these fighters. It’s business. His next fight is likely to be against Edgar Berlanga, who he said he is interested in fighting. Berlanga is on the same talent level as Bazinyan and an easy mark for Munguia or any of the fighters on the roster.
