Oscar De La Hoya, former world champion and now renowned promoter, has spoken out about the recently announced fight between absolute world super middleweight champion Saul Alvarez and his compatriot Jaime Munguia.

"Alvarez is a great fighter, but I feel our guy will prove to be the better fighter on this night. I really think Jaime got a great opportunity, he's capable of beating Canelo. We couldn't wait any longer," Oscar was quoted as saying by YouTube channel Fight Hub TV.

The bout between Canelo and Munguia will take place on May 5 in Las Vegas at the super middleweight limit. At stake will be all the championship belts of Alvarez.
