One of the top up-and-coming middleweight fighters will try to avoid an upset on Saturday night
Undefeated middleweight boxer Jaime Munguia will be the favorite on Saturday against Kamil Szeremeta, who was booked on short notice, but Szeremeta's effort in a defeat to Gennady Golovkin last year showed his toughness in the ring.
The GGG loss was the first of Szeremeta's career, though the level of his opponents beforehand had been underwhelming relative to Munguia.
The fight will take place at Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas, where it should be a home crowd type of atmosphere for Munguia, who hails from Mexico.
