Bazinyan fought well in defeat, landing the jab and straight right as he won four of the first five rounds on my card. Still, Munguia slowly wore down the previously unbeaten Canadian with subtle but consistent pressure.
Munguia began to turn the tide in the sixth and hurt Bazinyan in round seven with a left hook but Bazinyan managed to fight Munguia off with return rights.
That was the final stand for Bazinyan as Munguia grabbed control of the fight in the eighth and started quickly in the tenth hitting Bazinyan into a corner as Bazinyan attempted to fight back, he ran into the left hook that left him unable to beat the count.
For Munguia, it was a huge win in an exciting fight and will lead him to better things while Bazinyan performed well in defeat and I'm sure we will see him more in the future.
Even though there would be much more to be done before a rematch with Canelo Alvarez would be plausible, Munguia has several fights that could happen, and all would be exciting to see.
Munguia mentioned Bazinyan's stablemate Christian Mbilli, the number one contender for the WBC, and that would be easy to make with Munguia's new arrangement with Top Rank.
That would be a tremendous action fight that would be anticipated by boxing followers, although Munguia also mentioned possibilities that could include Edgar Berlanga (Matchroom) or Caleb Plant (PBC), each of which would be solid matches.
