Top Rank promoters say “Jaime Munguia will be back” following his sixth-round upset loss to Bruno Surace last Saturday night at the Estadio Caliente in Tijuana, Mexico.
The promotional company recently signed the super middleweight contender Munguia (44-2, 35 KOs) to a multi-fight contract, and his loss to the non-contender Surace (26-0-2, 5 KOs) was obviously not what they expected.
Promoter Bob Arum, the head of Top Rank, hasn’t said what the plan is to bring Munguia back from this loss. Losing to this kind of fighter puts the 28-year-old Munguia in a tough position where he’s going to need a rebuild. That’s not why Top Rank signed him.
They were obviously hoping to ramp him up for another big-money fight, like his match against Canelo Alvarez earlier this year. He can forget about that now.
Rematch Potential
Ideally, Top Rank needs to set up a rematch with Surace because this isn’t the kind of loss that Jaime can walk…
