Jaime Munguia vs. Bruno Surace: Preview Odds & Fight Card

Super middleweight contender Jaime Munguia (44-1, 35 KOs) is making the best of 2024 as he enters his fourth fight of the year on Saturday night live from Tijuana, MX, streaming on ESPN+. His opponent, Bruno Surace (25-0-2, 4 KOs), will put his undefeated record on the line as he tries to upset Munguia in his hometown. This is a fight that Munguia didn’t have to take, but he wants to stay active and sharp, so this is who he needs to face to check both of those boxes.

Should he get past Surace, big things are on the horizon for the 28-year-old Munguia in 2025. There are fights with Edgar Berlanga, Diego Pacheco, Christian Mbilli, Caleb Plant, and more that can be certified headlining PPVs if those deals can be made. With Munguia staying as busy as he has been, that could be what he needs to get big wins and another crack at Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Before any of that, a big performance against Surace on Saturday will demand those fights mentioned, but a loss could see him move towards the back of the line.

The 26-year-old Surace from Marseille, France, has never fought outside his home country, so very little is known about the Frenchman. His record reflects a fighter who has boxed his way towards victory more than knocking anyone out, which could be an issue for Munguia, who has been seen chasing those fighters around the ring in the past. Can Surace pull off the upset on Saturday night?
