Jaime Munguia opens up after losing to Canelo: My first loss hurt me

Original source (on modern site)

Jaime Munguia was aggressive at the beginning of the fight against Saul Alvarez, but the punishment he received slowed him down until he lost control of the fight.

The Tijuana native came in undefeated against Canelo, but experienced his first setback at the end of the fight in Las Vegas.

He also went to the canvas in the fourth episode when he received an upper to the face, from which he soon got up, but from then on the dominance leaned to the one from Guadalajara.

Saul Alvarez's experience was key

"I felt good, I think I won the first rounds, he is a very experienced fighter, he beat me well, it hurt my first defeat. I started the rounds very well, but after that he started to win the rounds," Munguia acknowledged.

Now the record for the Tijuana native is 43-1-0 and he will be looking to get back to his winning ways in his next fight.

"I'm not sorry for anything, I looked for the fight, I tried to make the fight and I gave the people a good fight," he said for ESPN.
