Mexican experience Saul Alvarez played a key role in the fight with compatriot Jaime Munguia, but the second has great potential, Russian light heavyweight Vasily Voitsekhovsky told .
On Sunday night, undisputed super middleweight champion Alvarez defeated Munguia by unanimous decision.
— Munguia played very, very well the first three rounds. I would even give him first and third. The second can hardly be granted to him, but if the arbitration had been in Yekaterinburg, they would have given Munguia the first three rounds! In the fourth, Jaime took a hard hit and felt permissive. He managed to harass Canelo serially, but I think Alvarez was just too confident in the beginning. Every now and then Munguia would catch him with these multi-punch combinations. And then that left side, bottom right of Canelo came… Jaime missed, and that decided the outcome of the fight. Munguia continued to receive blows to the liver, which were painful. But ultimately, Canelo brought everything to its logical conclusion: in this case, experience trumped potential and youth over ambition. But I was personally surprised by Jaime Munguia. A very strong and tough fighter. I think this fight will give him a lot, just like the fight with Mayweather gave Canelo. In the end, he will be a champion. And now we are all very interested in another fight – David Benavidez vs. Canelo Alvarez! I think Alvarez has a little less chance there,” Voitsekhovsky told .
For Álvarez, 33, this victory was the 61st of his career, with two draws and two defeats. He owns the IBF, WBC, WBO and WBA Super championship belts. Munguia, 27, suffered the first defeat of his career with 43 victories, including 34 by knockout.
