Alvarez vs Munguia Betting Analysis
Canelo Alvarez
Alvarez is a Mexican professional boxer with a record of 60-2-2, including 39 wins by KO at the age of 33. He is a four-division world champion who has lineal titles in two of those divisions and unified in three. He is the current undisputed super middleweight champion, the first to ever accomplish that feat. Before turning professional at age 15, Alvarez accumulated a 44-2 amateur record and won a Jr. Mexican National Championship.
Alvarez stands at 5’8″ and fights as an orthodox boxer with a 70 ½” reach. He has a 65% KO rate and has never been stopped. His only two losses have been to pound-for-pound greats Floyd Mayweather and Dmitry Bivol. He has completed an astounding 484 professional rounds going into this weekend.
Jaime Munguia
Munguia is a 27-year-old Mexican boxer with a professional record of 43-0, including 34 wins by KO. He is a former WBO junior middleweight champion is currently the #5 ranked super middleweight according to The Ring, and the #1 contender in the WBC and WBO.
Munguia’s betting analysis can’t be compared to Canelo’s because he hasn’t done even half of what Canelo has accomplished. With that being said, Munguia is listed as a 6’0” orthodox boxer with a 72” reach. He has an impressive 79% KO rate and an unblemished record. He has completed 199 professional rounds since making his debut in 2013.

DAZN and PBC have not received any injury reports.
Alvarez vs. Munguia Betting Preview
The Alvarez vs Munguia betting analysis shows a very one-sided resume. There is a lot more to be looked at to predict this one, including previewing the betting lines and breaking down styles and skills both guys have put on film.
According to the boxing odds, Alvarez is going into the weekend as the sizeable -600 betting favorite over the +410 Munguia. The odds favor this bout to reach a decision at -180. The over/under is set at 10.5 rounds as well.
Stylistically, this is going to be an awesome matchup to enjoy from wherever you watch on Saturday night. Two Mexican warriors going at it on a weekend that their country celebrates accordingly. The passion will be on display in the ring with lots of action from bell to bell.
Alvarez is one of the best to ever do it. His one-shot counterpunching, body-punching ability, and fight IQ are second to none. However, the only question is how good in shape his body is and if he will be able to be at his best for 12 rounds against a dangerous puncher.
Munguia is the younger, fresher fighter with lots of power. His heart will allow him to give it all he has in the ring on Saturday, which is the most dangerous part about him.
Alvarez vs. Munguia Betting Prediction
The Alvarez vs Munguia betting analysis holds up nicely after we broke down this matchup stylistically. Canelo is on a different level than most fighters on the planet. The two blemishes on his record come from two of the best to ever do it.
As long as Alvarez can control the pacing for the most part, and is healthy enough to fight for 12 rounds, he will outclass Munguia. The pace, control, comfort, and accuracy of Canelo will allow him to use his talent to the best of his abilities against someone who isn’t as physically strong as he is.
The Canelo match prediction is that he is going to win by decision. He wants a KO inside 8 rounds, so his confidence makes it difficult not to take the u10.5 round total at +160 as well to hedge the bet a bit.
