Munguia says Morales’ advice paid off
Unbeaten middleweight Jaime Munguia and D’Mitrius “Big Meech” Ballard commented on their fight on Saturday night in Tijuana won by Munguia via third round stoppage.
Jaime Munguia: “It was a dream of mine to fight here in from of the people that saw me grow up and develop as a fighter. We came well prepared for this fight and my performance today proved it. I knew that I was going to be the one to apply pressure and I went in there and did my job. D’Mitrius did have some power. That surprised me, but after the second round, Erik Morales advised me to apply more pressure, throw more combinations. It paid off, I dropped him with a good liver shot and decided to just go for it and ended the fight.”
D’Mitrius Ballard: “I felt I prepared well for Munguia today, but his power surprised me. I couldn’t find my rhythm and apply my jab. Now we have to go back to the gym, keep working, and figure out what comes next.”
