Jaime Munguia is set to fight Ronald Gavril on December 14 in Tijuana, marking his fourth bout of 2024 after recovering from a loss to Canelo Alvarez. Despite an impressive knockout victory over Erik Bazinyan, many fans are disappointed with the choice of Gavril, viewing it as a regression to fighting lower-tier opponents rather than more competitive matches. Gavril, who has won seven consecutive fights since losing to David Benavidez, is perceived as lacking the caliber of opponent Munguia needs to elevate his status for a rematch with Alvarez. Munguia's move to Top Rank has led to hopes for more significant fights in the future, as he aims to secure a second chance against Alvarez. The upcoming fight is also significant as it will be Munguia's first appearance in Tijuana in over two years, and fans are eager to see how he performs against Gavril. However, for Munguia to reach the top again, he will likely need to face tougher competition soon.
