Oscar Valdez advierte a Canelo: "Munguía no será un paseo por el parque"

Canelo regresa al cuadrilátero este 4 de mayo ante un peligroso retador tijuanense.

Óscar Valdez advirtió que Jaime Munguía será un duro retador para Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez en su próximo reto programado para este 4 de mayo en la T-Mobile Arena de Las Vegas. Valdez es compañero de gimnasio de Munguía, quien se prepara de la mano del experimentado Eddy Reynoso anticipa el riesgo que implica el retador tijuanense de las 168 libras.

Munguía será el primer retador mexicano al que se enfrentará Canelo, desde que venció a Julio César Chávez Jr. en 2017 y el primer compatriota que le disputa su cinturón indiscutido de las 168 libras, esta es una noticia que le da gran gusto a Oscar Valdez.

“Estoy feliz, ambas partes van por México, así que es un ganar-ganar. Esto feliz por Jaime Munguía. No es un oponente fácil. La gente piensa que Jaime Munguía es un paseo por el parque para Canelo. No, él es duro. Él tiene corazón”, declaró Valdez a Boxing Scene.

Esto, con todo y que Munguía no era considerado el retador más peligroso que Canelo tenía sobre la mesa, pues David Benavidez levantó la mano como retador mandatorio del CMB, aunque el organismo verde y oro hizo un show para permitirle al Canelo eludir este combate sin perder su cinturón.

También parecía ser un buen combate contra David Morrell, por lo que Munguía era el tercero sobre la mesa y ahora, luce como gran favorito para el 4 de mayo:

“Pero aun así tengo a Canelo ganando, porque lo veo entrenar y las ventajas que tiene [mentalmente] y con su talento”, advirtió el doble campeón mundial.

“Él peleará contra cualquiera. No tiene miedo de pelear con nadie. Pero hay otras personas que dirán eso… Siempre traen a alguien nuevo que dice: ‘Oh, lo estás esquivando’. Lo he visto pelear el sábado, descansar el domingo y regresar al gimnasio el lunes. Eso muestra el tipo de peleador que es, especialmente cuando lo tiene todo y cuando lo ha hecho todo. Siempre está entrenando y eso es algo que admiro de él”, finalizó.

En una entrevista con Fight Hub TV, Valdez -miembro del Canelo Team- cree que la entrega de Canelo Álvarez en el gimnasio, su corazón y talento lo ayudarán a salir victorioso de este difícil enfrentamiento contra Munguía.

Por su parte, Fernando Beltrán, promotor de Jaime Munguía, reiteró que la pelea no tiene acordada alguna cláusula de rehidratación y sí una de revancha inmediata en caso de sorpresa en favor del tijuanense.

Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez, llega a su próxima pelea con marca de 60 victorias (39 por nocaut), dos derrotas y dos empates en su carrera. Mientras que Munguía está invicto en oportunidades, con 34 nocauts.

Valdez, campeón interino de las 130 libras de la OMB, ya está anticipando peleas contra nombres como Luis Alberto López y O’Shaquie Foster, con marca de 32-2, 24 KO.
