And Jaime Munguia did not disappoint, just as he did in Arizona in January of this year.

The multiple former champion in several weight classes beat challenger Erik Bazinyan in the 10th round.^th round and improved to 44-1 with 36 knockouts.

“We had to wrestle him down and be careful with body blows,” Munguia said in Spanish. “And in the 10^th round, I decided to give it my all. And that's how we managed the knockout.”
