Jaime Munguía vs. Erik Bazinyan betting pick and predictions

Despite suffering the first loss of his career to Alvarez back in May, Munguia’s stock arguably rose after a gutsy, competitive showing as the underdog. He returns here, back in the home corner, as a sizeable favorite (-1400) to record the 44th win of his career against the largely untested Bazinyan (+750).

The bout will be the first time Bazinyan has competed at legitimate world level, although he does hold a relatively impressive sixth round stoppage win over former-David Benavidez opponent Ronald Ellis back in October 2023.

I expect Munguia to be too fresh and too aggressive for Bazinyan, with his relentless pressure and combination punching being enough to see him to a win somewhere in the mid-to-late rounds. We’ve seen Bazinyan struggle against another aggressive Mexican in Jose de Jesus Macias back in June 2023 in a bout he was badly hurt in, and I feel he will struggle to contain the marauding Munguia on Friday night.

Rob Tebbutt's Pick:

Jaime Munguía by KO/TKO in Rounds 5-8 +200
