Each Thursday right here at FightHype, we make an area among the many video content material for a very good, old style written phrase cash shot from the depths of my bulbous, bulging sack. So, prepare for a few of that notorious Magno-rific gooey, salty, typically NSFW reality. This week, we’ve got feedback/questions relating to Teofimo Lopez, Jaime Munguia, and Canelo in Perspective…
Teofimo/Munguia
Hello Paul
I’ve combined emotions about Teofimo successful. It’s all the time good to have a gifted man to have these sorts of performances, however I discover it very odd to make use of that remark of killing somebody. It was good for him to say after the combat that he could also be caught within the warmth of feelings, however on the finish of the day I don’t like his angle one bit. My view is that so long as he sticks together with his dad, and offering his retirement is all bluff, he’ll run into one other Kambosos in a few years. And if he does resolve to proceed his profession, I feel he ought to do it at another place fairly than High Rank, as Bob Arum has been very vocal about fighters being overpaid and Teofimo believing he deserved a sum that he has not confirmed he deserves.
I’m glad Jaime Munguia received a beating (although he gained), in all probability it will convey some sense into ODLH that he is likely to be KOed by a non-elite fighter and he must match him towards somebody huge. Personally, I want to see him face Carlos Adames (I do know the Charlo combat may not occur, no matter me studying someplace that he is likely to be in negotiations with a red-headed undisputed champ) and this could give him leverage to now pressure a combat at 160 with the massive guys, ideas?
Finest Regards

Hey Miguel.
There are two issues I do know for certain in terms of Teofimo Lopez: 1) He’s NOT retiring and a pair of) He hasn’t discovered a rattling factor from his current issues in life.
The man had barely left the ring when he picked proper up the place he left off post-Lomachenko win, evaluating himself to boxing legends and making an attempt to scheme for more cash. It’s virtually as if he hadn’t gone by practically three years of a stalled profession resulting from these exact same vainglorious ideations. Teofimo will all the time be his personal worst enemy and I’ve zero doubt that he’s headed for an additional fall in some unspecified time in the future pretty quickly. Within the ring, although, he’s a pleasure to observe and he’ll have loads of huge combat alternatives if he can carry on the trail to getting these fights.
Munguia is completed at 160. He can’t make the load anymore and is reportedly struggling mightily to even make 168 now. And this places Golden Boy/Crew Munguia in a troublesome spot. Canelo has all of the belts at 168 and will very nicely ignore Munguia due to Munguia’s affiliation with Golden Boy. I don’t see Munguia doing very nicely towards any of the opposite tremendous middleweight prime canines. I feel guys like David Benavidez and David Morrell crush him and Demetrius Andrade would make him look terrible. Sending him as much as mild heavyweight to try to tangle with Beterbiev or Bivol could be a suicide mission. So, I truthfully don’t know the place Munguia CAN go at this level.
Munguia’s Baptism By Fireplace
Hello Magno!
Munguia-Derevyanchenko jogged my memory why I’m a tough core boxing fan. It has the ability to make you neglect. To make you dream. To make you are feeling no matter doable emotion.
I used to be a part of the legion of men who didn’t consider Munguía was for actual. I even felt he was unfit labeling himself as a Mexican-style warrior. I finished caring many many months in the past.
I noticed the combat as a result of I used to be in entrance of my TV ready for Taylor-Lopez to start. Thank God I noticed the 12 rounds.
Good Lord. Was I incorrect about Munguía.
I’m NOT saying he’s the following huge factor. I’m NOT saying he’s PxP materials. I DO consider, robust, that his fucking cojones don’t slot in his pantalones. Sergiy Derevyanchenko is sort of a Terminator. He gained’t cease coming at you it doesn’t matter what. The man is frightening. And Munguia handed the take a look at with flying colours and provided a really entertaining present.
Let me rant concerning the Ukrainian. What a very good boxer he’s. And what a disgrace he has misplaced so many shut fights. I really feel actually sorry for him. I’m a fan and without end shall be. The best way he fights is, once more, scary. Did you discover the man was far more harmful when he was harm? Come on, that’s completely sick! A pleasure to observe. I hope he will get one other probability to shine for he deserves it and he’s must-watch TV. I nonetheless can’t consider he made it to the ultimate spherical, by the best way.
Jaime Munguia was baptized with hearth within the huge leagues. The primary spherical made me assume he was going to get KO’d. And the fifth spherical made me really feel sorry for the child. When he sensed his rival was harm, he swung for the fence and paid an expensive worth. He was virtually out on his toes like Castillo was vs Corrales. However he didn’t give up. He saved adjusting. He didn’t panic. And saved coming. And coming. The best way his nook -kudos to El Horrible- dealt with the combat was completely terrific. The knockdown within the final spherical was an excellent second for the Munguia Crew.
Munguia is must-watch TV, too. We realized he has the composure, coronary heart, energy, and mind, to take a lot of the prime canines within the division to deep waters. Good for him. Very good story of mini-redemption.
Lastly, what an astonishing, breath-taking fifth spherical. It’s not for the faint of coronary heart. I’m certain most of you media guys will keep in mind it for those who care about awarding a “spherical of the 12 months” worth.
Saludos.
– Carlos, from Hermosillo, Mexico.
Hey Carlos.
For all of the criticism I’ve heaped on Munguia (together with what I wrote above), he IS a fascinating fighter and a likable man. He additionally handed a significant intestine examine final Saturday towards Derevyanchenko.
However that’s the issue. Golden Boy/Zanfer didn’t make this combat to be a “to Hell and again” life-and-death battle. They signed the combat to be a showcase squash towards somebody with title worth who ought to’ve been due for a mighty fall. Munguia shouldn’t have struggled so prodigiously towards a well-worn, older, a lot smaller former title challenger who was 1-3 in his final 4 fights and 2-4 in his final six.
And, truthfully, I feel Munguia having the ability to set up himself within the second half of the combat was largely resulting from Derevyanchenko being worn down from his bodily disadvantages towards an even bigger, youthful, and far brisker opponent.
Munguia-Derevyancheno was an excellent combat. Sadly, I feel it might have marked the start of the top for each fighters. Derevyanchenko needs to be spent now and Munguia might have confirmed himself to be useless within the water at 168.
Canelo in Perspective
Hiya Paul
Love your mailbag. I take pleasure in it each week.
So, I used to be desirous about how boxers are judged after they retire.
Should not we, in assessing the greatness of a fighter, dig a little bit deeper than their boxrec? Two fighters in two specific fights come to thoughts once I consider this:
1. Meldrick Taylor v Chavez. Regardless of the controversy across the stoppage, Taylor put in an unbelievable efficiency towards a nonetheless good Chavez, and was soundly beating him in my view. But he misplaced that combat and so it does not get credited to his greatness by the boxing public. That’s one thing I do not agree with.
2. Ali v Frazier 3. I believed Frazier was unbelievable in that combat. I had him soundly beating Ali, and but he received caught and he misplaced the combat. Once more, I don’t assume he will get the correct amount of credit score for that efficiency as a result of he was on the shedding aspect.
So we come to Canelo. Though he has nice accolades, for those who take a look at his titles and boxrec, should not we glance a little bit deeper, as with all fighters, and ask the place have been Mosley, Cotto, and Kovalev of their careers when he beat them? Did he actually beat Trout and Lara or did he get favorable judging? Though he’s the undisputed 168 champ, how good have been the fighters he fought to gather these belts?
For me, as a lot adoration as he has gotten since changing into undisputed, I don’t assume that is been one of the best of him. I don’t assume 168 is his weight class. From Golovkin 1 by to Jacobs, I feel I noticed one of the best of Canelo, regardless of for those who thought he gained these Golovkin fights aren’t.
Anyway, I’d have an interest to see what you consider all or any of this.
Large Fan.

Hey Omar.
Thanks for studying.
You make some actually good factors. There IS an excessive amount of of an emphasis on outcomes over efficiency, however that’s the tradition we’re in, so what can we do?
As for Canelo? I agree, to an extent. I feel his legacy is extra outlined by quantity than by anybody or two specific performances. I do have larger regard than you appear to have for his run to unify the tremendous middleweight titles. He just about dominated three of the highest 5 tremendous middleweights on the earth on the time. I don’t assume you might be requested to do a lot better. It’s not his fault who held the belts on the time.
You do convey up an attention-grabbing query, although. What WAS Canelo’s greatest efficiency? What are these one or two fights we’d present individuals to clarify why he was an elite of his time? I’d say Golovkin 2, Golovkin 1, and perhaps Billy Joe Saunders. However, like we talked about with efficiency vs. outcomes, it needs to be considered fairly rattling spectacular how nicely he fought Austin Trout, Floyd Mayweather, and Erislandy Lara as a 22-23 year-old.
