‘Canelo licking his chops’: Ellerbe predicts vicious KO of Munguia

Leonard Ellerbe says Canelo will score a vicious knockout of Jaime Munguia.

With an official fight between Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia on the way, and after a very underwhelming opening press conference, Leonard Ellerbe takes some time to talk about the fight. Ellerbe breaks down the matchup and takes an unequivocal stance that this fight will end in a highlight reel KO for Canelo, rising his star once again.

Ellerbe on the Canelo vs Munguia fight

“Terrific, terrific matchup. I like this fight a lot because in this fight Canelo’s going to get a chance to get back to his highlight stuff. This is going to be a vicious knockout. Vicious. Visious. Munguia’s a good fighter but he’s tailored made for Canelo, tailored made for Canelo.

“Canelo, him and Tank in my opinion are the two best counterpunchers in the game; this guy’s tailor made for him. Trust me.”

On how long he expects Munguia to stand up to Canelo

“Well, again, Canelo, he’s a great counterpuncher and it’s about placing the shots and the timing of everything...Let’s be honest, man. Munguia isn’t known for the for the best defense in the world. Just a couple fights ago people weren’t talking about him in these kind of terms, of facing a guy like Canelo. Canelo is licking his chops for this fight. Trust me, trust me on that.”
