Canelo Alvarez vs Jaime Munguia

Despite all of the extracurricular activities that have dominated fight week, the weather report for Saturday's All-Mexico showdown in Las Vegas between Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia remains sunny with high probability of excitement. 

Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) will defend his undisputed super middleweight championship in the main event of a PBC on Prime Video pay-per-view card (8 p.m. ET; simulcast on DAZN PPV) from T-Mobile Arena against the hard-charging Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs). The Cinco de Mayo weekend clash represents the first time Alvarez will be fighting a fellow countryman since his 2017 beatdown of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. 

Although Alvarez remains a 5-to-1 betting favorite due to his advantages in experience and craft, the expectations remain high that a competitive firefight is ahead of us given that Munguia, the 27-year-old native of Tijuana who is trained by Hall of Famer Freddie Roach, fights in the classic, all-action Mexican style.

Both Alvarez and Munguia have been nothing but cordial and respectful of one another at every turn. The relationship between Alvarez and his ex-promoter, Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy, who is the co-promoter of Munguia, couldn't be any different, however. 

De La Hoya, who accused Alvarez of attempting to get him banned from promotional events, severely altered the fight week narrative at Wednesday's press conference by unleashing a pre-written rant aimed at his former fighter. Things got so heated on the dais that the normally mild-mannered Alvarez needed to be held back by security from attacking De La Hoya after the two aired out the dirty laundry between them. 

Asked about the ongoing drama between his promoter and opponent on Thursday, all Munguia could do was laugh. 

"Not my problem," Munguia told CBS Sports. "I am chill and just very calm right now. Whatever happened between them, it's not my issue at all. I was laughing."

Alvarez, however, retained a much more serious demeanor when asked whether De La Hoya's premeditated attempt at mental warfare has become a distraction at all. 

"I do respect every person out there but I always say that for every action, there is a reaction. I'm a fighter and things happen," Alvarez told CBS Sports. "From Oscar, you can expect anything like that. He just throws shit [out] of his mouth. He don't know anything about promoting the fighter or caring about their fighter. 

"[Golden Boy] always leaves their fighters when they need him on the biggest stage. He leaves his fighters and he don't care about them. The attention is [supposed] to be for Munguia but [De La Hoya] doesn't care. He just wants attention. But nothing surprises me from him."
