Jaime Munguia's promoters at Zanfer plan to trigger a rematch clause to force a rematch against Bruno Sauras in the first half of 2025 after Jaime lost the super middleweight contender by sixth-round knockout last Saturday night at Estadio Caliente in Tijuana, Mexico.
An immediate rematch with Surace is not without risks. Although this may seem like a smart thing for Munguia's promoters, it could backfire as he gets eliminated once again. This would ruin his career.

It is unclear why Munguia's promoters put a rematch clause in the contract for a non-title bout which he was expected to win easily. The 26-year-old Souras is not ranked in the top 15 by any of the four sanctioning bodies.
WBO junior middleweight champion Munguia (44-2, 35 KOs) entered the fight as the favorite and dominated the action through the fifth round. In the sixth game, Surace (26-0-2, 5 KOs) dropped Munguia, 28, with a right hand. The referee had no choice but to stop the fight when Munguia got back to his feet because he was in bad shape.
“I have been told that Zanfer intends to activate the rematch clause for Jaime Munguia vs. Bruno Sauras 2 in the first half of 2025 after Saturday's shock result in Tijuana. There will be details in this regard in the next few days,” said Salvador Rodriguez. X.
