Amateur Career

• Unlike most Mexicans, especially one so young, Munguia has an extensive amateur background. During his time in the unpaid ranks, he campaigned at 141 pounds and won Gold and Bronze medals at the national championships. Too young to fight at the London 2012 Olympics, Munguia decided against waiting another four years to enter the paid ranks. “I didn’t want to pursue my amateur career any longer, I wanted to turn pro,” he explained. “That’s why I turned at 16.” [1]
