Golden Boy Promotions has had a setback with Ryan Garcia’s recent defeat to Gervonta Davis, making Jaime Munguia’s fight against Sergiy Derevyanchenko on Saturday all the more important. Oscar De La Hoya discusses their respective careers, expresses concerns for Saul Alvarez, and addresses retirement and the effects of CTE in an interview with Declan Warrington for Boxing News. Munguia’s fight against Derevyanchenko presents a difficult challenge, but a win would put him on everyone’s radar, potentially leading to fights against Charlo, Benavidez, and even Canelo Alvarez. De La Hoya sees Benavidez as a strong potential opponent for Munguia but is unsure about Gennady Golovkin’s retirement status. He believes Munguia can make a statement by beating top fighters like Benavidez and Charlo, leading to a potential all-Mexican match-up with Canelo. De La Hoya also addresses Canelo’s wear and tear and retirement plans, warning against a rematch with Dmitrii Bivol. He believes Ryan Garcia’s next opponents could include Teofimo Lopez, Isaac “The Pitbull” Cruz, Rolando “Rolly” Romero, or even Manny Pacquiao. De La Hoya also discusses the importance of finding the right trainer, moving on if necessary, and dealing with retirement as a professional athlete.
