HBO: Sadam Ali vs. Jaime Munguia & Rey Vargas vs. Azat Hovhannisyan RBR.

Some of us on here would probably have known about him by now (prior to like 8 weeks ago when he entered the Cinco de Mayo sweepstakes) if he already with his current experience level was ready for a step up in class like Ali (let alone Golovkin), no?

 

I don't even like World Kid, and up through his fight with Cotto you never heard me not say "KO waiting to happen" when mentioning his name, but I've talked so much shit about this match-up, he better fucking win.

 

hope you win!

 

About to board my second flight, as much detail in the RBR please guys, this is the real 50/50 for me this weekend.

Brain tells me Jaime KO on the glass chin heart tells me Ali UD.
I went with my heart. Good luck & enjoy the fight

 

ali is getting destroyed here after a few good rounds, see khan vs canelo.

 

Pulling for World Kid but man...

 

How did Vargas win any rounds? For punching in the air?

 

Ali is a very good fighter, I know this because I picked him to beat both abregu and cotto, but Ali lost to vargas, so I look at this one as close to 50/50 because he is the weakest link at 54... WILL Ali Wilt to the pressure of Munguia? Well see.

 

Didn't take long. Ali in trouble.

 

ALi down already

 

D- level Defense not exaggerating.

Munguia could have a breakthrough performance because Ali is basically two weight classes below. I personally think Ali is levels above JM technically so I just can't pick against Ali. Munguia size/ punchers chance imo

 

C'MON NOW Ib

 

Round 1

Munguia is planking a ponderous jab on the body. Ali is bouncing around, flitting, jabbing. Body hook by Munguia. Another left hook up top by Munguia while Ali gets cute spiraling by him, and down goes Ali. Munguia is tied up and hit with a rabbit punch; ref warns Ali. Munguia hooks Ali up against the ropes, sloppy but effective. Ali is dancing away, planting his feet before getting walked into a corner and leaping in with a superman right into the guard to hold Munguia off. Clinch. Left hook by Munguia, Ali down again, wobbly on all fours. 54 seconds left as the ref counts in Ali's face. He's shaky. Left hooks by Munguia, wild, blocked or dodged. Ali is backed into the corner. Big hook on the body, Ali hurt and scrambling. Ali runs. Going to be saved by the bell if he can hang on ten more seconds. Yep.

10-7 Munguia

 

LOL.
