Okay, so I wanted to dig into Jaime Munguia’s professional boxing record. Here’s how I went about it.
First, I hit up the usual spots, you know, just to get a general overview. I was curious about when he started and how many fights he had under his belt. Turns out, this guy turned pro back in 2013. Pretty impressive, right? He started as a light middleweight, and from what I gathered, he was undefeated for a good while, racking up 28 wins before his first title shot. That’s no small feat.
Getting into the Details
Then I wanted to see about his big fights, especially that title match. I found out he challenged Sadam Ali in May 2018 for the WBO junior middleweight title – and won! That must have been a huge moment for him. After that, he defended his title against Liam Smith in July of the same year and won by a unanimous decision. The dude was on a roll.
- Turned pro in 2013
- Won the WBO junior middleweight title against Sadam Ali on May 12, 2018
- Defended the title against Liam Smith on July 21, 2018
- He lost a fight in 2024 to Bruno Surace.
- Total wins 44, loses 2, Draws 0.
Key Moments:
Championship Record
Now, this is where it gets interesting. His championship record is 5-1-0, which is pretty darn good. And out of those, he had 2 knockouts. Against former or current world champions, he’s 2-1-0, with 1 knockout. He won against Sadam Ali and Liam Smith but lost to another fighter.
Recent Buzz
I also stumbled upon some news about a recent fight in Tijuana. Apparently, there was a bit of a shocker in December 2024. Munguia was knocked out in the sixth round by Bruno Surace. That must have been a tough one. I guess it just goes to show that anything can happen in boxing.
Overall Record and Style
So, as of now, Munguia’s record stands at 44 wins, 2 losses, and 0 draws. That’s a lot of fights! What’s impressive is that he’s knocked out 35 of his opponents, giving him a knockout ratio of around 76.1%. That’s pretty high. He is also a former junior middleweight world champion, Munguia’s only previous loss had come in a 12-round unanimous points decision loss to Alvarez in May this year for the undisputed super middleweight title, and he was returning home after four fights in the US. From what I’ve read, he’s boxed a total of 227 rounds, meaning his fights last about 4.9 rounds on average.
It was a fun deep dive into Munguia’s career. He’s had quite the journey, from starting out in 2013 to becoming a world champion and facing some tough challenges along the way. It just shows how much dedication and hard work it takes to make it in the world of professional boxing.
He just won a fight in September by KO, good for him!
That’s it. Hope you enjoyed it.
