Among those weighing in was Oscar De La Hoya, the legendary fighter-turned-promoter, who shared his perspective on why Munguía fell short in this pivotal fight. According to De La Hoya, Munguía underestimated his opponent, a mistake that ultimately cost him the match. Speaking to Boxing News , De La Hoya explained, “I believe Jaime overlooked his rival and got caught with a punch he didn’t see coming. It’s an unfortunate but valuable lesson.”
Munguía’s defeat is a reminder of the mental discipline required in boxing. De La Hoya highlighted a common pitfall for fighters: losing focus on the immediate challenge. “Fighters sometimes get distracted by the promise of bigger rewards down the line, but you can’t afford to lose sight of the task at hand,” he noted.
Despite the setback, De La Hoya remains optimistic about Munguía’s future. Reflecting on his resilience and talent, he predicted a strong comeback. “Jaime has what it takes to bounce back stronger than ever. This loss doesn’t define him—it’s just a chapter in his story,” he emphasized.
Munguía himself seems determined to rise again. In a heartfelt social media post, he thanked his supporters and vowed to return as a better fighter. “This one was for you all, and though it didn’t go as we hoped, I promise you’ll see an improved Munguía next time,” he wrote.
For now, all eyes are on the potential rematch with Surace, with hopes that Munguía can turn the tables and reclaim his standing in the boxing world.
