Linares named the favorite for the Alvarez - Munguia fight

Famed Venezuelan veteran Jorge Linares weighed in on the chances of absolute world middleweight champion Saul Alvarez and Jaime Munguia in their upcoming fight.

"It's a great fight. I give 60 percent for Canelo to win and 40 percent for his opponent to win. Munguia is a great and strong fighter, but he doesn't have the potential that Saul has. Alvarez has everything. Munguia is big and strong, but he's not great in the ring.

So we'll see. I think this fight could probably come down to a judges decision. I think Canelo will win on points," Linares said in an interview with YouTube channel Fight Hook News.

Recall that Alvarez and Munguia will fight on May 4 in Las Vegas, USA.
