Jaime Munguia, the exciting Mexican super middleweight, is setting his sights on a showdown with Edgar Berlanga in 2025. With a solid record of 44 wins and just 1 loss (35 KOs), Munguia is focused on his upcoming fight against Bruno Surace in Tijuana on December 14. After that, he’s ready to take on Berlanga and other big names in the 168-pound division.

Preparing for the Big Fight Against Surace

Before thinking about Berlanga, Munguia needs to take care of business against Bruno Surace. Originally scheduled to fight Ronald Gavril, Munguia has shifted his focus and is determined to make a statement in the ring. This fight is crucial for him, especially after his loss to Canelo Alvarez earlier this year. In a recent interview, Munguia said, “Firstly, we now have the commitment of December 14, but without a doubt, everything is going to turn out well.”

This matchup isn’t just another fight; it’s an opportunity for Munguia to regain his momentum and show that he belongs among the elite fighters in the super middleweight division. Fans are eager to see how he performs and whether he can bounce back with a victory.

Targeting Berlanga and Other Top Contenders

Looking ahead, Munguia is not just focused on Surace; he has his eyes on a potential clash with Edgar Berlanga and other top fighters like Caleb Plant and Christian Mbilli. Munguia believes a fight with Berlanga would be a fan favorite. He mentioned, “I think it can be a good fight next year, so we are going to do it.”

This shows Munguia’s commitment to giving the fans what they want. He’s not just focused on titles but on creating exciting matchups that keep the audience engaged. “I personally think it would be a better fight with Berlanga, and obviously I would like to be world champion again, now at 168,” he added. This desire to reclaim his title adds extra motivation for Munguia as he prepares for his next steps in the ring.

Comparing Performances Against Canelo Alvarez

Both Munguia and Berlanga faced Canelo Alvarez in 2023, and both came away with unanimous decision losses. However, Munguia feels his performance was much stronger. He pointed out, “I did try to win the fight. But I think that Berlanga only went to survive.” According to Munguia, he was actively trying to engage with Alvarez, while Berlanga seemed hesitant and defensive.

This perspective highlights Munguia’s competitive nature and his determination to stand out among his peers. He’s not afraid to take risks in the ring, and that’s what makes him an exciting fighter to watch. As he prepares for his next bout, he aims to prove that he’s ready for the biggest challenges in the super middleweight division.
