Jaime Munguia vs. Gabriel Rosado | DAZN - November 13, 2021

[Bandog]

Munguia, 37-0, takes a fight like this instead of a chance at Andrades belt? Quack quack.

Who?

Just pointing out that everyone seems to go on about how poor of a boxer Andrade is, but when someone with a lot of talent, unbeaten Munguia, gives up his mandatory to fight Andrade, it speaks for its self.

Press Release | Alexis Rocha vs. Jeovanis Barraza Added as Co-Feature

Orange County will be represented on November 13th as Santa Ana’s Alexis “Lex” Rocha (17-1, 11KOs) faces off against Jeovanis Barraza (22-1, 15KOs) of Barranquilla, Colombia, in a 10-round welterweight co-main event for Munguia vs. Rosado at Anaheim's Honda Center.

The welterweight fight will be preceded by a 10-round middleweight bout between top contender D’Mitrus Ballard (20-0-1, 11KOs) of Temple Hill, Maryland, and Mexico’s Paul Valenzuela, Jr. (26-9, 17KOs).

The DAZN show opener will feature Mexico’s undefeated, heavy-handed, lightweight rising star, William Zepeda (23-0, 21KOs), facing off against Miami’s John Moralde (24-4, 13KOs) in a 10-round fight for the WBA Continental America’s Lightweight title. The event will be broadcast live on DAZN, excluding Mexico, starting at 6:00 p.m. PT/9:00 p.m. ET.

“Saturday, November 13th will be a great night of boxing for Southern California fight fans,” said Oscar De La Hoya, Chairman, and CEO of Golden Boy. “We are proud to highlight one of Orange County’s top contenders, Alexis Rocha, as he makes his return to the Honda Center in the co-main event of the night. I know he will make all his hometown fans proud as he takes on a tough contender in a 10-round welterweight war.”

After a stellar, knock-out performance on June 19, 2021, against James Bacon, Alexis “Lex” Rocha of Santa Ana, California, is determined to continue his winning streak when he faces off against Jeovanis Barraza on November 13. The Southern California native is returning to the Honda Center as a top-rising welterweight contender who has steadily climbed the rankings by successfully defeating tough competitors like Berlin Abreu, Roberto Valenzuela Jr., and Brad Solomon.

“I expect a lot from myself. I expect to be a main event star in the sport. For now, I’m focused on stealing the show as the co-main event and bringing excitement to the crowd,” said Alexis Rocha. “I want to earn the respect and support of Orange County fans and I can do that by knocking opponents out. I was born and raised here. Sports in Orange County should be Angels, Ducks, and Alexis Rocha. That’s my goal.”

Making his second American appearance on November 13, Jeovanis Barraza of Barranquilla, Colombia, is looking to make a statement in the welterweight division. The 26-year-old dangerous contender has defeated tough competition in Colombia, including top prospects Carlos Saenz and Luis Guillermo Berrio. Now, he will be looking to impress American audiences as he seeks an upset victory against Santa Ana’s Alexis Rocha.

“I am at Reyes Boxing getting the best training I can to prepare for a fight that will change my life,” said Jeovanis Barraza. “I am going to bring my top game and show the world what I am made of.”

Headlining the Golden Boy Fight Night portion of the night, live on Facebook Watch, Arley Muncino (29-3-2, 10 KOs) of Monterey, Mexico will meet Jackie Calvo (14-6-2, 1KO) of Mexico City in a 10-round female flyweight battle.

The Pride of Mexicali, Diego De La Hoya (22-1, 10KOs) will make his return to the ring facing off against Guadalajara’s Jose Gonzalez (23-9-1, 13KOs) in a 10-round featherweight event.

Alejandro Reyes (4-0, 3KOs) of Los Angeles will participate in a 4-round super lightweight fight against Osmel Mayorga (2-2, 1KO) of Miami, Fl.

Finally, San Diego’s rising prospect, Jorge Chavez, will make his pro debut in a 4-round super featherweight bout against Mexico City’s Gilberto Aguilar (0-3).

Fight Week!

[Mexi-Box]

For some reason, I feel like the winner will get Canelo in January, especially if it's Munguia. I think Canelo will probably fight in January, May, and November, probably. I can see Munguia, Benavidez, and Charlo or Bivol next year.

[ironbeard]

Didn’t Team Canelo already say his next fight is in May?

Yeh, will discuss his May fight in Jan with Reynoso

Munguia: I Know I Have To Be Careful Against Gabe Rosado

“I am very ready and excited to be fighting in Anaheim among all my fans in Southern California. I can assure everyone that it will be great fight and a great night for boxing," Munguia said.

“I know that Rosado is coming off a great fight, a great knockout and has a lot of experience. I know I have to be careful but I have faith in my training and I am confident that I will be victorious on Saturday.

“We make a great team with Erik Morales. Thanks to him I have had a great training camp and I feel like my boxing skills have advanced.

“I know on Saturday I have to keep my distance and apply pressure where I need to. I need to make sure I dominate the action in the ring.”

[ironbeard]

Only one thing is certain…there will be blood.

[Bandog]

@ Mexi-box
Munguia gave up his mandatory, not ready for Andrade, I doubt he's ready for Canelo at an even higher weight. Makes no sense.

[apollo creed]

@ 160 Rosado may be weak.

[Enlightened-One]

@ Mexi-box
Munguia gave up his mandatory, not ready for Andrade, I doubt he's ready for Canelo at an even higher weight. Makes no sense.

Canelo once lobbied the WBO to make him the mandatory challenger to Billy Joe Saunders’ 160lbs world title.

And within a few weeks of the WBO fulfilling Canelo’s request, the Mexican rejected the Saunders bout, renounced his mandatory challenger status and fought someone else instead.

Do you think Canelo wasn’t ready for Saunders or did his handlers simply make a business decision?

The same thought process probably applies to Munguia too.

Be watching them both.

[margaret thatcher]

if anyones watching this let us know when mung-rosado starts, i prefer this to the benavdiez fight

IS the benevid card on right now too? shit ay. while left befor Jaime.

[margaret thatcher]

benavidez card just about to start i think?

although between the 2 cardss very little interests me, but i do find munguia to be one of those types i enjoy even vs overmatched opposition, and rosado has given scares before

[gregregegg]

Vslenzuela is a weird guy. throws like a gassed chisora, but as a fresh middleweight (i think). Has terrible feet, hardly any strait shots, but can be kind of effective at times.

[rorenes]

Is Ballard winning?

[ironbeard]

Is Ballard winning?

Hard to say. I think so but Valenzuela is super awkward. I haven’t been scoring it but I think that Ballard is up.

[gregregegg]

Is Ballard winning?

I would think so. But its not certain. he isnt winning the vibe... old mates dancing in the corner and shenanigans.

[margaret thatcher]

ballard has gone under my radar mostly. i thought he did enough to beat falcao, although that was ruled a draw. aside from that hardly seen him

dmitrius 'the blasian bomber' ballard

[mcrow24]

Is Ballard winning?

Hard to say. I think so but Valenzuela is super awkward. I haven’t been scoring it but I think that Ballard is up.

If I'm managing a prospect I don't think I would want to match him up with Valenzuela. Awkward fighters can ruin a prospect's career or set it back quite a bit.

[JxhDel.]

Zepeda is nice to watch, looking forward to seeing him in a title match.

Ballard vs Valenzuela 77 - 75. Windmill contest, some belting though.
