00:00And this is the live ring walk of Bruno Brunello, not Canelo, Brunello Suraz.
00:15We were joking because that's a nickname that he's got like since he was a kid.
00:18But, you know, it almost sounds like.
00:20Yeah, I originally thought I was like, is he like the French Canelo?
00:22Is that what Brunello means?
00:24Apparently not.
00:26We're about to find out, right?
00:27But with Suraz, for those who are not so familiar with him, what does he bring to the table?
00:34He honestly fights a lot like Jaime Mugia.
00:35He's like a French version of Jaime Mugia who doesn't hit as hard.
00:39He throws a ton of punches as well.
00:40He's very aggressive.
00:41He loves the right hand, whereas Mugia loves the left hand.
00:44But he's a very capable guy, obviously undefeated.
00:46Talking about the tail of tape here.
00:48Young, 26 years old.
00:49Two years actually younger than Jaime Mugia.
00:51But similar in size.
00:53Height the same.
00:53Reach one inch advantage for Mugia.
00:56But both these guys, big, big super middleweights.
00:57I think, obviously, the advantage in the experience of Jaime Mugia is stark and in the opposition.
01:07And, quite frankly, in the knockout ratio, right?
01:09I mean, Bruno Suraz, although undefeated at 25-0, just four knockouts.
01:13You'll see, he fights as if he can punch.
01:16He's also very tenacious in his approach.
01:19He throws that right hand with bad intentions.
01:21He's just not a heavy-handed guy.
01:22And making his North American debut tonight.
01:26Fighting outside of his native France for the first time as a professional.
01:30Jaime Munguia!
01:40Se va volcado al ataque.
01:45Jaime Munguia!
01:48Se da la cuenta.
01:49Está coqueteando con el knockout.
01:52Parece que cae.
01:54Está dando la chance.
01:55¡Eso!
01:57Y lo recarga contra las fuerzas y le empiezan a llover.
02:00Ganchos de izquierda y derecha.
02:03Jaime Munguia!
02:04Lo vuelve a hacer al estilo del de Tijuana.
02:08And now making his way to the ring in his backyard at Tijuana, Baja, California,
02:20Jaime Munguia returning back home for the first time since February of 2022.
02:25Jaime Munguia!
02:55And there is Jaime Munguia, 28 years old, 44-1 with 35 knockouts.
03:07And it was really important for Jaime to fight back in Tijuana, to stay active, to give back to his fans.
03:14And a much bigger star and bigger name than he was the last time he fought there, which was, as I mentioned, back in February of 2022.
03:20Yeah, having that platform fighting Canelo Alvarez, you know, the face of boxing, especially the face of Mexican boxing, but also having that, a good performance.
03:29You know, I said that he was very respectful in that performance in terms of how we performed.
03:36But it's gotten better, even better since then.
03:39And from all the things you were alluding to based on what was available in camp, I think that we're seeing a much improved Jaime Munguia since the Canelo Alvarez fight.
03:47Yeah, and even that great fight with Sergei Ketevernichenko.
03:50Fight of the Year candidate.
03:51I mean, amazing fight.
03:53Actually, I think it was the fight of the year.
03:55Amazing fight.
03:56Had to pull out the victory with a late round body shot, knocked down.
04:07So this was something that was important to Jaime, something that he wanted, very focused.
04:11You can see, I mean, didn't even look like he got a haircut for this fight.
04:14I mean, he is just like ready to get to work.
04:17But that's really all you can ask for.
04:18He's not sitting on that Canelo money.
04:20Nope.
04:20Nope.
04:21A lot of guys sit out.
04:22If you fight Canelo, you get the bag, you don't see him for a year or two.
04:25Not Jaime Munguia.
04:26He took six months off, came right back to the ring, and also fought a very tough guy.
04:29Bazinian was no joke.
04:31He did less than six months off.
04:32He fought Canelo and may have fought Bazinian in September.
04:36And now back again in December.
04:38Yeah, five minutes.
04:39Four months.
04:40Jeez.
04:40But that's what you want in your top fighters.
04:45Stay active.
04:45Stay busy.
04:47Increase your profile.
04:48And it's still kept him relevant in the rankings, and it's still probably going to lead him to another world title opportunity should he continue to win in 2025.
04:56I mean, there's talks of that Christian Munguia fight.
04:59I mean, sign me up for that.
05:01That's a fantastic matchup.
05:02Can't miss action fight.
05:03I agree.
05:04Both affiliated with top rank.
05:06It's a very makeable fight.
05:07I think the WBC actually just ordered that as the mandatory.
05:11The fight, he's number two right now, ranked is Jaime Munguia with the WBC.
05:15So I'm here for that.
05:17We'll see if the Munguia team, if that's the direction they want to go.
05:20But they've also mentioned, you know, Caleb Plant, perhaps, you know, a Berlanga Mexican-Puerto Rican fight there could be made.
05:27I mean, the possibilities are endless, especially if he continues to look the way he does.
05:30And a familiar face behind him there in the corner, Rafael Espinosa, who was victorious just last weekend against Roe Bacy Ramirez and is the featherweight champion of the world.
05:44They've built up quite a nice friendship, and he's there in his corner tonight, supporting him against Bruno Suros.
05:50The always classy Jimmy Lennon Jr. is in the ring now for the official introductions.
06:00How about the number of people in the ring, Chris, right now?
06:10This is before the fight.
06:11Yeah, the ring is bending.

08:50Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the hard-hitting and popular world-ranked super middleweight contender,
09:04and the former WBO junior middleweight champion of the world,
09:10aquí está el ex-campeón mundial peso junior medio, demos la bienvenida al sensacional y orgulloso guerrero de Tijuana,
09:22Baja California, Mexico, Jaime Munguilla.
09:34Y aquí está el referee, once again a referee, now to give instructions, Juan José Ramírez.
09:44Yes.
09:45Yes.
09:45Yes.
09:46Yes.
10:00Okay.
10:01Don't pause.
10:03I'm fine.
10:04Any questions?
10:05Okay.
10:05.
10:09All right, here we go, our main event.
10:18From the Estadio Caliente in Baja California, Tijuana.
10:24I'm Christina Poncher, joined alongside Chris Algieri.
10:28The fourth fight of the year for Jaime Munguia,
10:31who is ranked in the top ten in all four major sanctioning bodies.
10:35And looking to have a big 20-25.
10:39Looking to cap off the year with a win against Bruno Suras tonight,
10:42who is undefeated 25-0 with four knockouts,
10:45making his debut outside of his native France.
10:48Munguia in the yellow trunks with the white trim,
10:51Suras in the black trunks with the yellow trim.
10:54Both fighters out of the orthodox stance.
11:00Munguia looking significantly, though, bigger in the ring tonight, Chris.
11:03Yeah, bigger upper body, bigger shoulders.
11:08Looks more filled in at 168 than his French opponent.
11:19I do expect fireworks in this fight, though.
11:21Because Suras, he's a very aggressive guy.
11:23He throws in combination as well.
11:25Throws that right hand, very loopy, but he throws it often.
11:28And it's pretty accurate.
11:30Doesn't carry the same power that you see in the left hand of Munguia,
11:34but still an aggressive, tenacious guy.
11:38Eric Morales back in the corner of Jaime Munguia for the second consecutive fight
11:43since the loss to Saúl Canelo Alvarez, in which he was trained by Freddie Roach.
11:49He says he's got back to doing the altitude training that he was doing before in Big Bear,
11:56as well as training in Piawana.
11:58And he said he's just the strategist that is Eric Morales,
12:01the way that they both break down fights and put together a game plan,
12:04the way he talks to him in the corner.
12:07He said they just mesh, they just gel so very well.
12:09And he was looking forward to getting back to his winning ways with him back in his corner.
12:14With no disrespect at all to Freddie Roach.
12:15He said they worked on some really great technical things,
12:18but he's happy to have been reunited with Eric Morales.
12:22Yes, it was very interesting to listen to Jaime in the fighter meetings,
12:25ending up to the Brazilian fight, where he spoke at length about Freddie Roach
12:28and their relationship, as well as Eric Morales and his style of training.
12:32A lot of strategy, a lot of fitness, and just being able to speak to him as a Mexican,
12:38as a former Mexican warrior and champion, meant a lot to Jaime Muglia.
12:44Suras with the right hand down to the body.
12:48It's a feeling out round, under a minute left to go here in round one for both fighters.
12:52A lot of action here in our opening
12:57round, as again, Suras circling around the outside.
13:00And I think Muglia, especially when he's working with Eric Morales, you see him come out,
13:10starting slower, analyzing, collecting data, trying to find his range before he really opens up.
13:20He's gonna pop in that jab out there.
13:24There's that big looping shot, the overhand right from Suras.
13:27That's his punch, it's the overhand right.
13:31He goes back to the stick, and there's Muglia with his jab.
13:34And they exchanged dabs there. Jaime's was heavier.
13:39There's Jaime cutting off the ring there, finally going down the body with that left-handed.
13:44Suras looks to Ansel with the count.
13:47There you see the size and the physicality.
13:48Jaime Muglia, who's able to bully Suras in his own corner, just before the end of the bell.
14:02Also, Fernando Fernandez in the corner of Jaime Muglia and Jaime Muglia Sr.
14:22in the corner of Suras, his father, and also his chief second, Murad Hadou.
14:35Forgive my French pronunciations, I'm doing my best.
14:39Yeah, don't ask me, that's not my language either.
14:48As we take a look back at a few of the highlights, there wasn't a lot there in round one.
14:54There was a couple of overhand rights from Suras and then
14:59single body shop attempt at the end of the first round.
15:03And we are actually taking the feed, there we go.
15:06Thank you for, we had a brief hold up on the feed there coming from Tijuana as we start round two.
15:11I'm sorry, go ahead, Chris.
15:12Yeah, there was a nice body shot attempt at the end of round one.
15:16Suras came out this round, he landed a good jab into a right hand right down the middle and split the guard.
15:21And Suras is showing some fast hands here in this first round and a half.
15:25Not being super busy, but showing that he is capable thus far.
15:31And how about Suras switching briefly to a southpaw stance, now back to orthodox.
15:38You see him kind of posturing as he, when he moves to the right.
15:42Ooh.
15:43As he looks to throw that overhand right on Mugia.
15:46Tricky shot that we live with a lead uppercut, that's what the guard landed
15:49well and then a looping right hand that landed mostly in the glove.
15:54Oh, and a big left hand from Mugia has Suras on the canvas here in round two.
16:01Huge left hand shot slipped on the inside.
16:03And for the first time as a professional, Suras has hit the canvas.
16:12A ton of time here left to work for Mungia.
16:15Mungia taking his time, closing the distance, using that head movement, that tick-tock side to side,
16:20trying to set that left hook up again.
16:22Oh, down to the body with two left hands for Mungia.
16:28Suras still looks out of sorts here.
16:31Legs aren't quite underneath him.
16:34Right back down to the body.
16:36He is firing back though off the ropes.
16:39Mungia, you gotta understand, he's looking for that liver.
16:41He wants to set that shot up, that's his favorite punch.
16:44It was the left hook to the head that put Suras down.
16:49But one of Mungia's best punches is that left hook to the liver.
16:56Under a minute left here in round two.
16:59Suras down from a left hand, fighting his way back now.
17:03Seems to have at least got his legs up under him now, a minute left to go.
17:06Some good recovery, especially for a fighter who hasn't seen the canvas.
17:09He's been knocked down as a professional in his 27 professional fights.
17:14Certainly seems to be moving around much better, was letting those hands fly.
17:19Unleashing those quick hands that he has.
17:2330 seconds here.
17:24Nice right hand connects for Mungia.
17:26Backed against the ropes as Surasi goes back down to the body with the left hand.
17:30That was a nice right hand, right down the middle, right on the point of the chin.
17:33Split the guard.
17:34I mean, that is a dangerous spot to be, connects with the left hand up top once again.
17:42Just gets him to bite off a fake.
17:44Yeah, yeah, that was a hard fake.
17:50So a knockdown scored for Jaime Mungia in round two.
17:53So beautiful timed left hand from Jaime Mungia.
18:10Drops Bruno Suras in the second round.
18:15For the first time in his professional career.
18:18Yeah, you can see him slip inside.
18:20Big left hook.
18:21Bang!
18:22Right on the point of the chin there.
18:25Massive shot.
18:28Goes for the follow-up.
18:29Looking for that body shot.
18:29That was a nice liver shot there.
18:31Suras took that quite well.
18:33Boom.
18:33And there was a nice straight right hand right down the middle,
18:35right on the point of the chin.
18:37Bang!
18:39Not going to land a better shot than that.
18:41There was a good look at it.
18:42Suras went down very hard.
18:44Got up hurt, but recovered well during the round.
18:47Was letting those hands go.
18:48Fighting off the ropes.
18:49Keeping himself in the fight.
18:51Seemed to have righted the ship.
19:01Round three in this scheduled 10-rounder.
19:03Christina Poncher and Chris Algieri here with you.
19:05So a 10-8 round scored there for Mungia in round two.
19:09After a slow start in round one really for both guys.
19:11Things heated up quickly and then a slip there in the red corner.
19:15Ref right on top of that is.
19:20Obviously you get that condensation from fights before and water being poured in that corner.
19:25Dangerous spot to be there for Suras as Jaime Mungia continuing to stalk here in round three.
19:32Goes right back down to the body with a series of punches.
19:34Finishes up top with the left hand.
19:36Yeah, Suras does not want to be putting himself in the ropes the way that he did there.
19:39He's just gonna allow Jaime Mungia to let those hands go in combination.
19:43And he's going to find a home for those shots.
19:49Side to side upper body movement from Mungia.
19:52Now Suras is going punch for punch at this point which is not a good idea.
20:11He's not as big of a puncher as Jaime Mungia is.
20:15He should get on that jab, use those quick hands, look to score.
20:17Mungia is not known for his defensive prowess. A jab can get to him.
20:24Mungia looking to shoot the jab down low to the gut there.
20:28Cutting off the ring quite well.
20:30Really getting Suras right in a position to land shots like that.
20:33Well, Suras is allowing him to walk him down to the ropes.
20:37And more and more you're seeing Mungia go down to that left hook to the liver.
20:42Tenderizing the body of the Frenchman.
20:47Ooh, right hand.
20:49Partially blocked but still knocks Sadas off balance.
20:52Literally lifted up his front foot.
20:55Up against the ropes once again Mungia looking to shoot the left hand.
20:58Brings it upstairs first as Suras, much to his advantage, up off the ropes.
21:06And Mungia's done a good job actually making Sadas miss because Sadas is looking for one big punch at a time.
21:12He's not throwing the punches in combination like I've watched in his past fights.
21:15He's throwing singles looking for home run shots and Mungia seeing them a mile away.
21:2140 seconds left here in round three.
21:26Mungia stalking, stalking, following.
21:29Could be cutting off the ring better but still putting a lot of pressure on Suras.
21:35Suras looking for any sort of opening to try to land a shot.
21:38Yeah, but he's getting stuck in the mud.
21:41He's not moving those feet anymore.
21:42He's waiting on the one big shot and it's allowing Jaime to come in with combinations.
21:47Ooh, look a little counter though with the left hand there from Suras.
21:50Listen, he's got fast hands and he's willing to fire them.
21:53Good shot there, right hand, left hook, combination.
21:56Suras with his hand kind of raised walking back to the corner, perhaps a little boost of confidence
22:14because he did find a little bit of success, if you want to call it that, in the last round.
22:19I certainly would.
22:20I mean, that was a nice combination.
22:21He actually threw more than one punch at a time, landed a right hand and a left hook.
22:25Definitely got the attention of Mungia.
22:27Enough to give him the round?
22:29No.
22:30No, spent way too much time on the ropes.
22:36This body position here with Suras leaning against the ropes and just covered up, not a good look.
22:42And some of those punches are getting through but also you're catching flak,
22:45those punches that are going through your elbow, going through the glove.
22:49You still feel those shots even though they're landing on the arm or the glove.
23:13As we start round four, what adjustments if you're in the Suras corner, Chris,
23:17are you telling your fighter to make here?
23:19Use the jab, be more consistent with that.
23:21Pop that jab, pop that jab at this position right here.
23:23Don't just back up and put yourself on the ropes.
23:25Also, throw in combination.
23:26Stop loading up on single shots.
23:28You're not the power puncher here.
23:32Just a huge opportunity for Bruno Soras against, without a doubt, the best opposition that he's
23:38ever faced.
23:39And you know, he does have a 25-0 record, but not necessarily against guys that have had winning
23:43records as he tries to land a chopping right hand there on Munguia.
23:48Seems like both guys have a lot of trouble with the moisture on the mat.
23:51Well, and they're fighting outside, let's not forget, right?
23:53True.
23:53I mean, it's probably 50 degrees out there.
23:54There's gotta be some precipitation and
23:56a left hand lands there for Munguia around the guard of Suras.
24:00Being told it's 53 degrees out there right now.
24:10And I don't think we've given enough credit to Soras, you know, coming across the world,
24:15putting his undefeated record on the line against his toughest opponent to date by far,
24:19coming to his backyard.
24:22Absolutely.
24:23And he said he got the call three months ago, so he's had plenty of time, but he said,
24:27look, I have an opportunity to change my life, to change my family life, and I will do whatever
24:32it takes.
24:35I'd say he definitely trained for body shots, because Munguia has ripped some good left hooks
24:40to the body, and Suras has taken them well, hasn't really shown...
24:45Particularly with that left hand.
24:47Yeah, I mean, that's Munguia's weapon.
24:49That's one of his best punches, one of his favorite for sure.
24:52And he's landed some good ones, even on the hip and around the elbow.
24:55Those punches usually hurt guys, and Suras has taken them well.
25:02Up top for Suras.
25:04Nothing that's really caught the attention of Munguia through the first,
25:09you know, nearly a minute left in the fourth round here.
25:12I know Suras has not been all that active offensively, but I will say he has made adjustments.
25:16I've seen him in past fights be a little wilder, a little more reckless with his shots.
25:20He has cleaned up his offense quite a bit, which, you know, you would have to to still be here at this point.
25:26Down to the body again with the left hand for Munguia.
25:29Munguia now is getting more creative with the offense, mixing those punches up quite well.
25:35Oh, nice uppercut lands there for Suras.
25:38Tricky shot up the middle, splits the guard.
25:41I mean, look, I couldn't tell if he was off balance, if that actually wobbled him, but he's coming right back.
25:46Yeah, he came back with the left hand to the body and a right hand around the guard of Suras,
25:50but that was a significant shot for the Frenchman.
25:5415 seconds here in round four.
25:56Down to the body uppercut of his own for Munguia.
25:59So now she's showing some good durability.
26:03Oh, overhand right for Suras.
26:09Solid into this round.
26:21I would say that Suras has gotten some respect from Jaime Munguia.
26:25I was going to say the same, yes.
26:25In that last round, I mean, he landed some big shots.
26:27It was a nice uppercut to split the guard, some chopping right hands.
26:31Definitely got the attention of Munguia.
26:33Not sure how much it did he damage, but I guess we'll see in the replay.
26:47Again, Suras fighting off the ropes, coming back with some combinations,
26:51but getting stuck on the ropes too much and allowing Jaime to land
26:55some vicious shots.
26:58There was that tricky little uppercut.
27:00Eh, it was a little bit of a glancing shot.
27:02That wasn't as clean as it looked initially.
27:08But shots like that are going to continue to boost the confidence of Bruno Suras.
27:12If it did nothing else, if it did nothing else, it gave Suras the reason to raise his hands
27:17at the end of the round as he walked back to his corner.
27:19As we begin round five.
27:26Jaime Munguia has done some significant work to the body through the first
27:30four rounds, particularly with the left hand.
27:34He's dropped Suras in round two with that left hand, a grazing shot to the head.
27:41His counter there from Suras on the outside, a little pull counter with the right hand,
27:44catches Jaime Munguia just below the ear.
27:51Really important for Jaime Munguia.
27:53He told us to have one more fight before the end of the year.
27:55This, in fact, his fourth fight of 2024, wanted to bring it back to his backyard in
28:00Tijuana, a place that he hasn't fought since February of 2022.
28:04Down to the body with the left hand.
28:06He goes wanting to put on a good show for his fans.
28:08Loading up along the ropes there, but
28:10Suras showing that he's a durable, physically strong guy.
28:13He puts that high guard up, doesn't leave a lot of openings,
28:17is willing to take those shots on the arms and the elbows.
28:23Side to side upper body movement,
28:25moving his way in.
28:26Suras smartly backs off against the ropes after his back touch is there and
28:30moving forward with the jab and then swinging wildly, missing with the hook is Munguia.
28:34Yes, Suras is keeping it.
28:37Chopping right hand for Suras.
28:38He's keeping it very simple, keeping the guard up, looking to fight a counter fight.
28:44You know, waiting for Munguia to overthrow these shots, be off balance and then counter.
28:47He's found a home for that lead uppercut.
29:02Some good work once again with the back against the ropes.
29:05I mean, anytime Suras gets stopped and tagged there, it's down to the body and then back up top,
29:11no question for Munguia.
29:12Yeah, and everything's hard, Munguia needs to change up, he needs to change up the speed.
29:16He's throwing everything in the same tempo and it's allowing Suras to get the timing and rhythm.
29:23You gotta be a little more deceptive when you got a guy who's just gonna shell up the way that
29:27Suras is on the ropes.
29:33And for Munguia, how can he kind of get him to open up just a little bit more so
29:38he can land these shots a little bit cleaner?
29:40More of that we just saw, that jab.
29:41Use that jab, split the guard, keep touching him, take a little bit of power off the punches
29:46and let the hands go a little more, throw in combination.
29:49Double jab, right hand, left combination there for Suras.
29:53And I just feel like you can see Suras thinking in there, right?
30:05Like he's really trying to figure out how he can get inside and land something on Munguia,
30:10who is continuing to faint, move side to side with the upper body movement,
30:13use the jab, and of course invest in the body.
30:16I think first and foremost he's thinking about how not to take any more punishment.
30:20That's kind of the goal, obviously, right?
30:22Not to take punishment and also look for opening.
30:24Because again, he's fighting a complete counter fight, counter tactics.
30:28So he's fighting mostly off the ropes here.
30:30You see Munguia going to work, but again, everything is hard.
30:34Just hard shots with both hands, not being deceptive, not setting punches up anymore.
30:38And then back comes Suras when he has these opportunities that Munguia,
30:41overthrowing at times, gets off balance and leaves himself open for combinations like that.
30:46Not all of those punches weren't clean, but they're scoring blows for Suras.
30:52There you see those opportunities where he's trying to catch Munguia when he's off balance,
30:59overthrowing.
31:00And there was that solid four-punch combination for Suras, too.
31:03A highlight moment for him in that last round.
31:07It's kind of been too far in between, really, in my opinion, to win him most of these rounds.
31:11And also when you see them in slow motion, you see that they're all glancing,
31:14that Jaime's moving with them.
31:16Suras does have fast hands, so I think it looks like it's more effective initially,
31:21but in hindsight, they're not really the cleanest shots.
31:26But I also think what you've been able to see with Jaime Munguia, especially
31:29with how this fight has gone, and really all the fights he's had the two,
31:33now second after Canelo, is that he's kind of tightened some stuff up a little bit in terms
31:39of how he's throwing his shots as well. You know what I mean? He's placing him to the body very
31:43well. He's using his jab. I mean, I know he's the kind of fighter that will take a couple to give
31:47his out. You mentioned it earlier.
31:49Yeah, we're seeing less of that, for sure. But also, I agree with you.
31:52And the level of opposition.
31:53In terms of the way that he throws his punches now, he's not quite as reckless as he used to be
31:57throwing long combinations and throwing double, triple, quadruple left hands. You can't do that as
32:02you go up in class, as well as you're going up in weight. These guys hit much harder.
32:07So, you know, at 154, he's able to throw those long combinations. Here at 168,
32:12he's a lot more judicious and careful with the combination so he doesn't get countered by the
32:16bigger punchers. Yeah, of course, the former WBO junior middleweight champion, five successful
32:21defenses there. Good chopping right hand there from Saras. Now 3-1 at 168 pounds. Of course,
32:28that lone loss to Canelo Alvarez in May of this year.
32:30Two minutes left to go here in round six.
32:37Down to the body. Of course, combination starting again with that left hook.
32:39If you remember how Jaime Munguia was able to drop and hurt Saras early, was punching with him.
32:46At this point, they're taking turns. It's your turn, my turn. Saras is waiting, waiting, waiting.
32:51He allows Munguia to work with his hands up, and then as soon as he's done, he throws.
33:03Munguia using a lot of those feints too with the foot.
33:09Jab overhand right misses. Back to the jab. He's taking a little bit of power off those shots. I think that's smart.
33:14That's kind of what you said that he needed to do in order to be able to get more effective at landing
33:22some of those inside shots. Change the speed.
33:28How about doubling up on that jab?
33:30Just jabbing in general. High, low. Sticking that jab.
33:33Blinding your man so he can't see the right hand coming. Punching through the guard.
33:38Because they're unaware that that right hand's next.
33:40Jab is just such a versatile weapon and tool.
33:50No, we were watching and calling that Bazinian fight.
33:52We were like, okay, well, this is a good fight.
33:53They kind of went back and forth, and then you thought Bazinian was in it until he wasn't.
33:56Until he wasn't, exactly. Right?
33:57It's like Munguia took a round off and then came back and finished it.
34:01My goodness!
34:03Munguia goes down in round six!
34:05Cinco, seis, trece, ocho, nueve.
34:11He's done, oh my God!
34:12My goodness!
34:13He does not beat the count!
34:15It is over!
34:17One punch knockout.
34:18Bruno Suros has knocked out Jaime Munguia!
34:24Wow!
34:25My goodness!
34:28What an upset in Tijuana!
34:36What jubilation from Team Turas who has come over from France in his first fight
34:43outside of France and has got the knockout victory against Jaime Munguia!
34:48Can you believe this?
34:49No!
34:49This guy, listen, I said we gotta tip our hat to this young man who's coming out here,
34:55coming across the world to fight the man in his hometown and scores a one punch,
35:03come from behind, knockout of the year, upset of the year.
35:08One punch, full ten count, unbelievable.
35:12Bruno Suros said we have a chance to change our life for this fight and I will do whatever it takes.
35:19Tonight it took one right hand that dropped Jaime Munguia.
35:25A man with four knockouts and 25 wins gets his fifth KO in 26 wins against Jaime Munguia,
35:33a single one punch KO, unbelievable.
35:35The cleanest punch he landed all fight.
35:37Yep.
35:38One punch and he doesn't beat the count.
35:42And I was gonna say, Jaime just looks uninspired.
35:48He looked uninspired.
35:50And now look at the way he's acting in the corner.
35:52He's smiling.
35:53With great risk comes great reward and this opportunity for both guys.
35:59I wanna get in another fight before the end of the year.
36:01I wanna have a big 2025.
36:03I wanna give a fight back to my fans and to Ioana and for Bruno Suros the same.
36:07I want an opportunity to change my life, to change my family's life.
36:12Well, he did.
36:13He changed his family's life.
36:15France has a new top super middleweight.
36:21Wow, unbelievable.
36:22I mean, perfect shot, wide open.
36:28And listen, he had a game plan.
36:29He was gonna wait his turn, wait for Jaime Munguia to overextend himself and counter when he had the opportunities.
36:35And you see the expression on the face of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., who was on the air there,
36:41ringside on the apron, just could not believe the shot.
36:44I mean, just flattened him, Chris, flattened him with the right hand to the chin.
36:47Head bounced off the mat, you know, got up at the count of nine and a half,
36:51but was too hurt to continue.
36:53Ref made a good call, stopped the fight.
36:57Unbelievable, unbelievable.
37:01Wow, wow, what an upset.
37:04Congratulations to Bruno Suras.
37:06That's why you fight the fight.
37:07Yeah, that's why you take the risks.
37:09I mean, coming into this fight, what really did he have to lose, Chris?
37:12Yeah, well, exactly.
37:13I mean, listen, he was coming across the world, like I said, and, you know, I'm sure he got a nice
37:18little payday, but he was going in against a monster in his hometown and did exactly what
37:24he needed to do in order to get the victory.
37:26And, you know, he had a game plan.
37:27He executed it.
37:28He stayed calm under pressure.
37:29He got hurt badly in round two, got dropped, never been down before.
37:34Got up right at the ship, got right back to work, right back to the game plan,
37:38and found a way for that right hand and ended the night.
37:41I mean, just absolutely snapped the head to the side, flat on his back, Jaime Munguia.
37:47You know, I had mentioned how Jaime Munguia was being a little more judicious with his punch.
37:55He's not just going to the win, because he's fighting guys that are bigger.
37:58He's fighting in these higher weight classes.
38:00Because of this reason, I don't care if you're a 168-pounder, you can punch.
38:03I mean, it's not like the 154-pounders he used to fight.
38:06These are 168-pounders.
38:08All these guys can punch.
38:09The only other guy to put down Jaime Munguia was Canelo Alvarez.
38:13Now Canelo puts him down, and now Brunello puts him down, and...
38:19Puts him out.
38:19Puts him out.
38:21Wow, the first knockout loss in the career of Jaime Munguia,
38:25and the biggest win in the career of Bruno Brunello Suras.
38:33Where is Suras hiding this power?
38:36Four KOs in his 25 wins, comes out with a one-punch KO
38:39over normally very durable Jaime Munguia.
38:49See?
38:50Puts it behind the jab, overhand right, hits nothing but chin.
38:56See the face of Julio Cesar Chavez, head and hands.
39:00I mean, he looked away.
39:01It was just that brutal of a shot.
39:07Perfect shot, chopping overhand, clips the chin.
39:11You know, he put a little jab out there.
39:18Got the attention of Jaime Munguia and bang, right on the chin.
39:22Couldn't ask for a more perfect punch in terms of where it landed.
39:26And if you are in Morsai or anywhere in France right now, and it's the morning on Sunday,
39:34and you're waking up and watching this or seeing Bruno Brunello Suras has knocked out Jaime Munguia,
39:41you might be thinking that you're still in a dream right now.
39:45Is it too early to drink wine over there?
39:47I mean, he just caught him perfectly timed.
39:50I mean, I know we've shown it about 17 times while we're waiting for the decision on the feed from Mexico.
39:55What you saw there, you saw Jaime Munguia cross-block that jab.
39:58He reached out too much.
39:59Look, cross-block.
40:01He put that hand across the way, had no defense for that shot.
40:05Over the top.
40:06I mean, just perfectly timed over that left hand.
40:09That was...
40:10No defense there, hands not at home.
40:12Remember, I was talking about Picasso and how he always gets his hands back to home.
40:15Jaime Munguia is the opposite.
40:17Those hands were...
40:18Look where those hands are.
40:18Reaches out with both...
40:21He literally cross-blocked with his right, reached down with his left hand,
40:24and, I mean, lets his shin completely exposed.
40:29That was not part of the plan for Team Munguia.
40:33Absolutely not.
40:34And it spoiled some big plans for Team Munguia in 2025.
40:38I mean, you're talking...
40:39We talked about it in the lead-up.
40:40The mandatory position to fight for a world title with the WBC,
40:43possibly against Christian and Billy.
40:45I mean, now...
40:47I don't even know what to say as far as what could be the future for Brunello Suras.
40:55I do.
40:56Paydays.
40:56Yeah, that.
40:57He earned himself a whole heck of a lot more money off a performance like that.
41:02And my hat's off to him for taking the risk, fighting outside of his home country for the first time.
41:08In your opponent's backyard, he was a heavy favorite, and it's a heavy right hand.
41:15In the fifth round.
41:16I don't think anyone predicted this, but at the end of the day, it's poor fundamentals.
41:20Poor fundamentals is when you get knockouts like that.
41:24Wow, we're gonna be seeing this clip over and over and over again.
41:33Upset of the year for sure, potential knockout of the year.
41:37I mean, and from, again, let me remind you, a fighter who had only four knockouts in 25 fights.
41:43And I don't know, I apologize, I'm not really sure what the holdup is in Tijuana.
41:47I mean, it's as official as official could get with how that fight ended.
41:51Yeah, we're not waiting, we're not waiting for her.
41:52I don't know why we're dragging this out any longer, to be honest with you all.
41:55But that's really what we're waiting for here.
41:58I'm not even sure we're gonna get an interview with Suras or Munguia at this point.
42:05But what is done is done.
42:10Wow.
42:17And I guess they're just deciding to continue to show more shots and different angles of the knockout.
42:25If you look at Suras' face there, his eyes, he's locked in.
42:29Again, I kept saying he had a game plan.
42:32He's waiting for Munguia to overextend himself.
42:36Gap overhand.
42:37And I said from the beginning, what was the punch to look out for from Suras?
42:39It was the overhand right.
42:40That's his favorite punch.
42:41That's the punch he throws.
42:42He throws it like he hits hard.
42:44I didn't think he did with four KOs and 25.
42:46Apparently he does.
42:47And again, I guess they're waiting for the local announcers there in Tijuana to wrap up
43:01their segment before they make this one official in the ring with Jimmy Lunen Jr.,
43:05who you can see from this overhead shot there has more than been in position.
43:08Of course, Munguia having to sit there and stand out there as well.
43:13You know these fans that have traveled to see him in Tijuana.
43:16And for Bruno Suras, I mean, I would love to hear what he had to say and what he has to say.
43:23And even for Jaime Munguia as well and what the plans are for both of these guys in the future.
43:28Now we don't know.
43:28A lot of things up in the air right now as Bruno Suras plays spoiler tonight with a huge upset and
43:34is now 26-0 as a professional with five knockouts.
43:38Jaime Munguia will fall to 44-2 with 35 knockouts.
43:46I mean, how big of a step back is this for Jaime Munguia?
43:50Oh, this could potentially occur.
43:53Yeah, I mean, with a deep division like this, you know, he's going to need to take some time.
44:00I mean, he wanted to get that fourth fight in, but now, you know, he's got to recover from this.
44:04And then we've got to recover from it physically, you know, but what about psychologically?
44:07You know, we mentioned that in the last fight coming off the loss
44:09of Canelo getting back in there, getting back into feeling like you're that guy.
44:12Well, how are you going to feel like you're that guy into this?
44:14You know something else?
44:17Okay, now they're ready.
44:18Here is Jimmy Lennon, Jr.
44:1930 seconds in round number six.
44:28Here's the winner by way of knockout and still undefeated, Bruno Brunello Suras.
44:41And there it is, round six, knockout, Bruno Brunello Suras, absolutely upset of the year.
44:50Jaime Munguia, you can tell on his face, visibly disappointed.
44:55I mean, the juxtaposition between the jubilation of the unexpected underdog and
45:02the hometown hero in Jaime Munguia, who tonight suffers the second loss of his professional career.
45:11You mentioned it, Chris, absolutely devastating tonight for Jaime Munguia.
45:15Yeah.
45:16I mean, the worst way to lose.
45:17Devastating for Jaime Munguia, so unexpected.
45:20But listen, let's talk about Bruno Suras, man.
45:23Listen, he didn't look all that surprised afterwards.
45:26He looked at me like, yeah, he's crazy like a fox.
45:27Like, he had a game plan and he was starting to execute it.
45:30He was a lot of your turn, my turn.
45:32And you could just tell Munguia was forcing everything.
45:35He was trying to land those big shots.
45:37Suras just kept covered up and was looking for the openings.
45:41And more and more, he was taking that risk of throwing the shot after Munguia fell off balance.
45:45And then he just found that perfect shot and hit.
45:47I mean, again, back to the fundamentals.
45:50You saw where the hand position was for Munguia.
45:53Got hit with a perfect shot right on the chin.
45:56Listen, I don't care who you are, man.
45:57You get hit in that right spot, it turns you off.
45:59Hey, it's why you fight the fight, right?
46:01Again, hats off and kudos to Bruno Suras and his entire team for taking the opportunity
46:05and likely taking a win in an upset of the year fight.
46:09Before we let you go, just a reminder, next time we'll see you,
46:12Naoya Inoue, taking on Sam Goodman in a fight that is now taking place after postponement,
46:17January 24th.
46:18We'll see you then.
46:19For Chris Algieri, I'm Christina Poncher.
46:22I appreciate it.
