Round 1
There’s the bell! Munguía plants himself in the center of the ring and looks to establish the jab as Álvarez, who looks a lot smalled in there, circles him. Álvarez lands a right hand. Munguía is throwing jab after jab, then begins throwing punches in combination. The crowd is behind the challenger, chanting Munguía’s name! Álvarez continues walking forward, almost completely disregarding the incoming fire, and landing some thudding body shots when inside. Close round but we’ll shade it to the more effective Canelo over the busier Munguía.
