Assuming Munguia does get knocked out once more by Floor, he can nonetheless depend on getting fights towards the likes of Caleb Plant, Edgar Berlanga, Diego Pacheco, and Christian Mbilli. In different phrases, Munguia is usually a gatekeeper or trial horse for the youthful fighters to get expertise towards a light former world champion.
