Danny Garcia: Canelo Took The Young Lion (Munguia) To School Tonight

Canelo Alvarez impressed more or less the entire boxing sphere tonight with an impressive win over Jaime Munguia.

Munguia had never tasted defeat before in his professional career of 43 fights up until tonight.

Danny Garcia said of the win:

Not suggesting Garcia is, but to think of Alvarez as an old lion would certainly be very unwise.

At just 33-years-old and how fighters look after themselves these days, technology, and the lack of punishment he’s taken, he can go on for a long time into his late thirties at the highest level at least, if he wants.

Alvarez’ main decision making will surely have to be around not moving up and down in weight classes too much.

Go for the big fights but don’t be up at cruiserweight or silly ideas like that.
