Timothy Bradley compares Jaime Munguia with Canelo Alvarez - "Epitome of Mexican-style boxing"

Former Hall of Fame boxer Timothy Bradley ripped into Canelo Alvarez by comparing him to his rising compatriot Jaime Munguia.

The undefeated Munguia is only 27 years old and holds the WBC silver super middleweight championship. In his most recent win, he dismantled former Alvarez opponent John Ryder with the 34th knockout victory of his career.

Bradley praised Munguia for his relationship with his fans and for embodying the Mexican-style of boxing. In an interview with ProBox TV, he said:

“Munguia is everything Canelo Alvarez wishes he was with the fans. I’m letting y’all know right now, he is the epitome of Mexican style boxing. This dude is never in a dull fight. Always entertaining, you know. He is – I’ll take some of yours, let me see if you can take some of mine. That’s the way, that’s his mindset.”
