Janibek Alimkhanuly vs. Jaime Munguia - WBO Ordered

[Ruthless-RKO]

Janibek Alimkhanuly-Jaime Munguia Mandatory Title Fight Ordered By WBO

Jaime Munguia insisted following his latest win that he is ready to move toward a major title.

For the second time this year, the WBO is prepared to test his sincerity.

Tijuana’s Munguia (41-0, 33KOs) was formally ordered to enter talks with WBO middleweight champion Janibek Alimkhanuly 13-0, 8KOs). Munguia has long served as the number one contender but is now identified as the mandatory challenger, which means he either next challenges for the title or clears the way for a more willing participant.

“Please be advised that the WBO World Championship Committee orders the parties herein to commence the negotiations for the above-referenced bout between Jaime Munguia and [Janibek] Alimkhanuly,” Luis Batista-Salas, chairman of the WBO Championship Committee noted to the promoters of both boxers via official letter, a copy of which was obtained by Boxing Scene. “The parties are granted 15 days to reach an agreement.”

A purse bid hearing will be called if a deal is not reached by Decembet 5. The minimum accepted bid for a WBO-sanctioned middleweight title fight is $200,000.

The order comes just one fay after Munguia—co-promoted by Zanfer Boxing and Golden Boy Promotions—scored a third round knockout of Argentina’s Gonzalo Coria this past Saturday from Arena Astros in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Alimkhanuly—who is promoted by Top Rank and managed by Egis Klimas—claimed the interim title with a second-round knockout of Danny Dignum in May. The fight came about after Munguia declined to enter talks for the previously ordered fight, as he was in talks for a bout with WBC titlist Jermall Charlo which never materialized.

The interim belt was upgraded to full title status for Alimkhanuly after Demetrius Andrade was forced to vacate after failing to honor repeated calls for a mandatory title fight. Alimkhanuly lodged his first title defense in a twelve-round, unanimous decision win over England’s Denzel Bentley on November 12 in Las Vegas.

What a mess the WBO MW belt has been.
They need a top 4 tournament rather than promoting guys.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Jani said he doesn’t want to fight Munguia. He wants world champions.

If Munguia doesn’t want it, Eubank is next..

After him it’s:

3 Meiirim Nursultanov (International)
4 Felix Cash GBR
5 Esquiva Falcao
6 Ryota Murata
7 Michael Zerafa

[Ruthless-RKO]

Top rank should call purse bids and just bid..

See if Munguia really wants it.

Maybe GBP will bid.

Munguia wants GGG at Cinco de Mayo.

Munguia wants GGG at Cinco de Mayo.

Who he calls out, and who he fights have been vastly different

Arum and Oscar will try to price their fighters out and nothing will happen. A one wants this, the other one wants that, evenrually both will fight another cans. Yet the matchup itself could be intriguing.

Pricing them Out is fine. What about when it goes to
Purse bids?

Who pulls out first ?

[margaret thatcher]

jani fought low level guys in his two title fights, but remember he was in it for the andrade fight and it was andrade pulled out. im not so sure his team would avoid this if they could get it. mung offers a big undefeated record but has looked quite flawed several times, he's a good opportunity to take a nice looking 0

hopefully mung's side also sees jani not looking good last time and would be up for it

[Bandog]

Carlos Adames wants to fight Janibek. Janibek said no unless he has a major belt. He also doesn't want to fight Munguia because he has no belt.

GBP will make an excuse, turn it down again. Adames is a good fight. Ko'd Montiel that gave Charlo trouble. Also beat Derevchenko.

[margaret thatcher]

ah yes montiel , that dude mung ko'd in 2, he's a notable win now

carlos adames new boogeyman

[daz74]

ODH saying he wants to make Munguia v Charlo …
