Boxing Picks
Munguia is going to be favored in this fight, but I rarely like to lay big prices and there is no question Munguia is going to be a hefty favorite. We do have the option of playing the rounds and we could also take a shot simply at Munguia winning by knockout. These two fighters have combined for 48 knockouts, so there is a good chance this one doesn’t go the distance. I will take Munguia to win by knockout and the rounds to go under the total.
Boxing Pick: Munguia by 6th round knockout and the rounds to go under the total.
