Hopkins: Munguia is here to stay

Boxing legend and one of the leaders of the promotion company Golden Boy Promotions Bernard Hopkins reacted to the victory of the WBC Silver champion in the second middleweight of the Mexican Jaime Munguia over the British John Ryder.

“The guy showed a brilliant performance. This is a new level of thinking. I'm telling you this as a fan and boxing expert. Looking ahead, I will say that Jaime is ready for any opponent at 168 pounds. Canelo had problems in the fight with Ryder. John then gave Saul a fair beating.

This all demonstrates Jaime's level. If you have any doubts, remember what Munguia did in the fight with Ryder. So Jaime is here for the long haul,” Boxing News quotes Hopkins as saying.

Let us remind you that on January 28, Munguia won ahead of schedule against John Ryder.
