Five months after his feat against Mexican, the Frenchman was dominated by unanimous decision of the judges in Ryad on Saturday.
Frenchman Bruno Surace was beaten by the Mexican Jaime Munguia on a unanimous decision of the judges during revenge between the two boxers on Sunday in Ryad, where Canelo Alvarez again unified the belts of the super-worlds.
Surace, 26, had created an immense surprise in December by putting Ko Munguia, a rising boxing star, on his land.
During a super-medium category fight started at 04:00 in the morning (01:00 GMT) in order to be visible on Saturday evening in the United States and Mexico, Surace seemed to seek to resist his opponent, who boxed with application.
«The most important thing was to have the right mentality and what I needed to do after a fight like the previous one. Jaime Munguia is there to stay“Commented Mexican in the ring. The two judges gave Munguia winner at 117 against 111.
Surace, entered the air of Francis Cabrel’s “corrida” in an almost empty room, underwent the first defeat of his career (26 victories, 2 draws).
MUNGUIA (45 victories, 2 losses) gave him back after his defeat against the Frenchman, and a year after being dominated by his compatriot Saul Canelo Alvarez, star of the Ryad meeting, who will fight at the end of the program against Cuban William Scull.
On December 14, Suracus was theoretically only the “storage” of feared Munguia, in full preparation for a fight for a world belt. But on a single blow, a perfect right in the 6th round, the Marseillais had overthrown the Mexican, the forecasts and the course of a hitherto confidential career.
On Sunday, he surely won respect for the boxing world and reassured about his ability to hold during big fights, that one in 12 rounds.
“Brunello” attacked the first round, triggering the encouragement of his coach: “It’s perfect Bruno, you shouldn’t do more, take your time, it will work”.
Munguia gradually took the upper hand in a fight without much flight, surace sometimes resistant in the strings but struggling to reply.
According to the Compubox reference site, Muching managed to place 105 shots against 64 for Surace (77 nets against 35), insisting in particular in the body (51 against 10).
“I hate this kind of fighter”
Two hours later, Canelo Alvarez, 34, once again unified the super-medians after a frustrating fight unanimously won by the judges against the Cuban William Scull.
Canelo, holder of WBC, WBA and WBO belts, recovered the IBF belt of Scull which he had abandoned last year by refusing to fight his official challenger.
Scull, 32, who suffered his first defeat there, was particularly fleeting, with an effective leg of legs, but without managing to counter-attack.
«I don’t like boxing this kind of guy, they just come to survive. A boxer who does not try to win, who just wants to survive, I hate this kind of fighter», Routs Canelo in the ring after the fight.
Canelo (63 victories, 2 defeats), which held the center of the ring, managed to place mainly blows to the body, but frustrated as the fight was progressing.
He now has an appointment with the American Terence Crawford, Super-Welters champion, for a fight in Las Vegas on September 12.
«Crawford is one of the best, it’s going to be a pleasureAdded the Mexican.
