A new video of Canelo Alvarez trying a particular combination seems to be fast-graining traction. talkSPORT‘s Michael Benson shared the clip on his X. The undisputed super middleweight champion is preparing hard for his upcoming title defense against fellow Mexican Jaime Munguia. But how do the fans feel about the training clip? Die-hard fans must be feeling excited. However, among those who commented, there were a few who didn’t feel likewise.

The Alvarez-Munguia match takes place on May 4, the Cinco de Mayo weekend, at the T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The P4P great last fought and defeated Jermell Charlo during his third title defense. The Tijuana-born former light middleweight champion, on the other hand, forced an early stoppage on John Ryder later in January this year.

Canelo Alvarez: Ready with Punches; Thrilling Sneak Peek

Michael Benson’s tweet read, “Canelo Alvarez showing a first-person POV of what Jaime Munguia will be facing on May 4th…” The clip begins with the world champion throwing a jab with the leading hand. It is followed by an uppercut (right) on a mitt held by a trainer. From the looks of it, it appears that the same person is also holding a punching bag tightly. So basically, Alvarez is working on two props simultaneously. The third punch is Alvarez’s now-well-known left hook to the body, here it being thrown on the punching bag. Then a straight right to the mitt and finally a second left hook complete the combination.

Given their profiles, few expect the fight to go the whole distance. It could be a high-octane slugfest, with both boxers relying on trademark hits to stop the opponent.

Undefeated Jaime Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs)

Canelo Alvarez and Premier Boxing Champions are discussing a reunion, sources told ESPN, after the sides split last week with two fights remaining on a three-fight deal signed in June.

Alvarez, boxing’s top star, is in talks with PBC about a May 4 pay-per-view fight vs. fellow Mexican fighter Jaime Munguia in Las Vegas, sources said.

Alvarez, ESPN’s No. 4 pound-for-pound boxer, was lined up for an undisputed super middleweight championship defense against Jermall Charlo in May. However, Alvarez and PBC couldn’t agree to terms for the matchup, which allowed him contractually to explore other options.

Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) discussed a return to streaming service DAZN for bouts against Munguia and Edgar Berlanga this year, but when those talks stalled, the champion returned to the table with PBC, sources said.

Jake Paul predicted a second-round knockout on Saturday night – he was too generous.

The YouTuber turned boxer earned a first-round victory over Ryan Bourland on Saturday night in Puerto Rico (he was accurate in his sub-six-minute victory).

Paul clearly wanted to get things over with early, striking early and connected on a hard shot to the ribs – Bourland’s left side was clearly red after the blow.

But shortly after, Paul took it a step further, piecing up Bourland in the face and making the former Golden Gloves champion dazed.

Bourland couldn’t even return with any jabs, going in straight self-defense mode. But it wasn’t enough.

Trapping him in the corner, Paul threw a bunch of haymakers, and the referee called it a night. The fight lasted just two minutes and 37 seconds.

“I wanted it to be a little longer to give the fans some more time,” he admitted post-fight.
