Munguia’s Comeback Trail
At 27 years old, Munguia (43-1, 34 KO) is bouncing back from his first professional loss—a 12-round decision against Canelo Alvarez on May 4 in Las Vegas. This setback has only fueled his determination to reclaim his momentum in the middleweight division, making the upcoming fight a crucial step in his career recovery.

Challenges Ahead for Bazinyan
On the other side, Canada’s Bazinyan (32-0-1, 23 KO) also faces a pivotal moment. Recently, he experienced the first blemish on his record, a 10-round draw against Shakeel Phinn in Montreal. Currently highly ranked with the WBC, Bazinyan finds himself at a crossroads where his next move is crucial for maintaining his standing and momentum in the competitive boxing landscape.

Potential for a Thrilling Encounter
The bout promises to be compelling. “Munguia is generally enjoyable to watch when he gets rolling downhill, and Bazinyan is a solid boxer who simply may have been getting bored at the level he’s sat at for years now,” according to the original article by Bad Left Hook. The match could very well elevate Bazinyan’s game, placing him across the ring from a formidable opponent like Munguia. As the article suggests, “You fight the fights to find out.”
This September clash not only highlights the resilience and tactical acumen of both boxers but also serves as a critical juncture in their careers. With stakes this high, the boxing community eagerly awaits to see who will emerge victorious, proving once again that in boxing, every match can dramatically reshape careers.
