There was a big upset as Jaime Munguia was knockout by Bruno Surace in his hometown of Tijuana, Mexico.
Munguia was a huge favorite going into this fight and he has been looking to fight rival Puerto Rico's Edgar Berlanga after this one. But it's obvious that it might not happen for now, as Munguia will have to go back to the drawing board.
So this is a big challenge for him, but I think he can still make a name, he is still very young and maybe we can see a rematch between the two.
I just watched a video on Facebook regarding the highlights of the fight, and surely, this is an upset especially for Munguia that's fighting on his own hometown.
I will call it, but this is the "UPSET OF THE YEAR" fight candidate.
I don't know if it's just me though, but it seems like the referee was too fast in counting when Munguia got knocked down, but nevertheless, that right hook really stunned him that he didn't beat the count. Well, I counted myself as well at the start of the knockdown, and I would say that he's a bit fast. Also, for me, it's too fast to waive his hand signaling that he can't fight anymore. I mean after counting to 9, he immediately waived his hand. Well, I guess the referee knows more than I am, but it's a big upset indeed.
Rematch for sure will happen next year before fighting Berlanga. It's just very frustrating if you're a fan of Munguia to see your fighter losing in your own hometown. All of the fans are stunned when they see it, and it's very quiet in the arena.
