Atlas predicted the winner of the Munguia-Ryder fight

Reputable coach Teddy Atlas believes the former world champion in the second middleweight Jaime Munguia will overcome John Ryder in their upcoming fight.

“The younger guy will win. Youth will play a role in this fight. When Munguia first appeared on the scene, he reminded me of the middleweight version of George Foreman. He is a big and powerful guy. In many ways he is not perfect, his corners are not polished, and you can see that he needs to develop. But he got better. I give credit where credit is due.

I like the way Munguia is progressing. He still has a little way to go, but Ryder is shorter so Munguia can control the distance. He's a big guy with long arms. He can control the course of the fight at a distance due to the swing of his arms and his length, and can catch Ryder on approach. Besides, Munguia is strong, he loves to get close. So he can do that too,” Atlas said.
