Canelo's pride in all-Mexican matchup

China Daily  

Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia face off during a news conference on Tuesday ahead of their all-Mexican super middleweight showdown on May 4. Alvarez has changed his mind, and the Guadalajara native will step in the ring on May 4 with Tijuana's unbeaten Jaime Munguia for his latest Cinco de Mayo weekend showdown. "Yes, I've said I don't want to fight Mexican fighters," Alvarez said on Tuesday at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Alvarez hasn't fought a Mexican opponent since May 2017, when he won every round in a thrashing of infamous nepo baby Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Canelo has fought only three Mexican opponents in his last 37 bouts since April 2009, when Alvarez was becoming big enough to get a measure of control in choosing his foes. "I'm glad he changed his mind," De La Hoya said of Alvarez's decision to fight a countryman.
