Former Welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi provided his prediction for this weekend's blockbuster bout in ‘Canelo vs Munguia’.
Speaking to Fastestpayoutonlinecasino.com, Malignaggi previewed the Canelo-Munguia undisputed super-middleweight showdown, "I give Canelo the slight edge, but Canelo is fading.
"Canelo has struggled with guys who bring a fast pace, Munguia brings a fast pace but the problem for Munguia is he's very hittable and if he doesn't get knocked out he will be slowed down by Canelo’s punches.
"One thing I learned in my fight with Miguel Cotto is that just because you resist the punch power, doesn't mean it won't fatigue you taking those kinds of punches. His pace can be very uncomfortable for Canelo, but because he is so hittable, I think it will slow him down. That's what it comes down to - can Canelo slow down the pace of Munguia? Munguia will come out firing and it will be entertaining.
"If Munguia does win, Oscar De La Hoya is going to lose his mind, especially after Garcia beating Haney, that would be a big couple of weeks for GoldenBoy."
