Roach: "Munguia can knockout Alvarez"

Legendary American trainer Freddie Roach assessed the chances of his charge Jaime Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) in his upcoming fight with absolute world champion in the second middleweight division Saul Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs).

It was previously revealed that their fight will take place on May 4 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, USA.

"I like this fight. Do I believe that Alvarez can take it early? Yes, I do. Come on, he's been shaken before. I know Munguia's style will give Canelo problems and we're looking forward to this fight. We signed the contract in one day - that's how much we wanted this fight.

I think Alvarez has given up a little bit, but we'll find out. I don't expect a knockout, but Jaime can knock him out," Boxing Social quoted Roach as saying.
