Jaime Munguia would face his former conqueror, Bruno Surace, in a rematch on April 12 in Tijuana, Mexico.
Former WBO junior middleweight champion Munguia (44-2, 35 KOs) hopes to avenge his humiliating sixth-round knockout loss to Surace (26-0-2, 5 KOs) from last month on Dec. 14 in front of fans from his hometown in Tijuana.
The Cobra Strike
Munguia, 28, was careless in the sixth round and was dropped by a Cobra-like right hand from Surance. The shot sent Munguia face-first to the canvas.
Jaime was standing after getting up, and the referee, Juan Jose Ramirez, stopped him rather than allowing him to get hit a second time by the Frenchman.

One wonders if it’s a good idea for Munguia to get his revenge against Surace, because this guy might have his number. Earlier in the fight, Jaime knocked him down with a left hook to the head.
However, Surace stunned Munguia moments later with a cobra-like right hand to the head. Munguia took it well, but that shot was identical to the right hand he dropped him with later in the fight in the sixth.
