“He has a very telegenic style, and I think when we talk about those great fighters that touch people. Canelo, Morales, Barrera. They all had a telegenic style to them. I think Munguia has the same telegenic style. It’s exciting to watch.

“Munguia has a great ability to connect the dots of a long history of great Mexican fighters. Great legends have paved the way for Munguia to be an absolute superstar coming from Mexico. Erik (Morales) is behind it. So, We’re very excited about it.”
