WBC orders Munguia-Mbilli
It will be up to Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KOs) to decide whether he wants to defend against the winner of Munguia vs Mbilli.
The Mexican superstar previously beat Munguia (44-1, 35 KOs) with a 12-round unanimous decision on May 4 this year, seemingly outpointing him in the second half, choosing to spare him. The scores were 117-110, 116-111 and 115-112.
Mbilli (28-0, 23 KOs) would be a problem for Munguia, 28, as he is an aggressive fighter with excellent power and a high work rate. While both fighters have shown vulnerability, 2016 Olympian Mbilli may have too many weapons for Jaime.

Mungiia, promoted by Top Rank and Zander, will fight this Saturday, December 14, in a 10-round confidence booster against little-known second-tier fighter Bruno Surance (25-0-2, 4 KOs) in Tijuana, Mexico. This fight has gone under the radar of fans due to Surace being a complete unknown and Munguia’s poor performance against Canelo last May.
The criticism Munguia has received is that his promoters have matched him strategically for much of his career. He maneuvered around risky fights to build his 44-1 record without fighting anyone of quality. When Munguia finally faced a good opponent, Canelo, he fell short.
