Arena Astros, Guadalajara, Mexico. The popular local ex-world middleweight champion (up to 72.6 kg) Jaime Munguia (41-0, 33 KOs) beat the Argentine southpaw Gonzalo Coria (21-6, 8 KOs) in a mismatch devoid of any logic.
For some reason, the anthems of Mexico and Argentina sounded … Well, okay …
Munguia started the fight slowly and even missed a couple of left straights. Coria acted simply: he threw out the series and immediately entered (even ran) for the left hand of the Mexican or rushed into the clinch and tied his hands.
In the 2nd round, Munguia took aim, dropped his opponent with a right cross. Corea has finally switched to survival mode, his nose is already broken.
