Jaime Mungia, a former owner of the title in the average weight, could face the disciplinary action after his b-tribe returned positively to the forbidden substance after his unanimous victory regarding the decision on Bruno.
Munguia saw the victory fell over to the lack of and could meet the suspension from six months to one year.
The Munguia team maintained their innocence in a statement on Tuesday, which confirmed that his test returned positively to the exogenous testosterone metabolites.
“We want to repeat that this result does not change our position: Jaime has not consciously or intentionally consumed any forbidden substance,” said the team in his statement. “We are steadfastly convinced that this result was caused by pollution and we are still taking every possible step to identify the source.
“Jaime remains unwavering in his involvement in pure competition and we will continue to work closely with experts and relevant authorities to achieve full transparency.”
After the initial positive Munguia test (45-2, 35 KO) said that the discovery was a “complete surprise” and formally asked to test his samples B. He suggested that he would be open to go through “retroactive, current or future tests to show that I was always a pure athlete.”
Now that these discoveries are in line with his attempt A, Mungia will expect disciplinary activities of the British boxing council.
“I spent my whole career doing things in the right way – and this is not an exception,” Mungia said in a statement. “I love boxing and I am the first to explain everything because boxing is my life. I can’t wait to return to the ring. We will prove that we never respected this sport, my opponents or introduced fans.”
Mungui’s victory over Surace took place in the rematch of the December fight, which Surace won by knockout.
The B-tribe of Jaime Munguia returned a positive test for synthetic testosterone on his decision to win in Bruno Surace for a rematch of May 3 in Riyjad. Munguu’s victory over Surace (26-1-2, 5 KO) can now be changed to the Bres competition and can face the suspension.
Positive Munguia B-Póba test
Mungui’s victory was undermined by positive B-tribe testing in terms of exogenous testosterone origin, and puts a career of a 28-year-old Mexican warrior in Jeopard. Entering the rematch with the French Surace, Munguia had a 1-2 record, and his career was in bad shape.
When the initial positive test results were revealed on May 29, Munguia expressed a surprise, saying: “Several experts explained this There are many ways of pollution. “He pointed out that he had never tested positively in his career before.
Positive testing of the rematch against Surace does not make sense. Munguia’s defeat in December last year was to be a situation in which he was caught with a shot, being reckless. The first fight was seen by Mungui as cherry, choosing an unknown Surace, who never beat any significant fighters during his career.
Jaime career in the fall
Even with a six -month suspension, Munguia will be challenging to get it back. He looked on average in his losses to Surace and his defeat with Canelo Alvarez last year. If Mungia returns to the average pretender he was earlier, his career will end. His ability was not near the highest level.
The top 15 are many fighters who would feast in the Munguia version, which Surace knocked out in December last year in Tijuana.
Fans wondered why Munguia (45-2, 35 KO) looked so impressive in a rematch with Surace. He walked through the cobra, his right hands, Surace, as if they were nothing, and they looked tight than he had ever looked.
Some fans wondered how Jaime could go from a tender warrior who was knocked out in six rounds in December last year to a fighter similar to Superman, who effortlessly beat Surace in a rematch in May last year. Munguia won the results of 117-111, 116-112 and 117-111.
Today, Artur Beterbalwal’s training clip was sent, revealing a transformed warrior, hitting Southpaw’s attitude into a weighty bag, preparing for revenge after the first career defeat with Dmitryan Bivol. It is expected that the fight against the trilogy will take place next between Beterbiev (21-1, 20 KO) and IBF, WBA and heavyweight champion WBO Bivol (24-1, 12 KO).
Modern skills for Beterbiv-Bivol III
Mentally, he seems to be motivated by his loss and even wants the result from Bivol. Arthur learned, developed again and he will come back with a completely fresh set of skills. It will be a different version of Beterbaview than this Bivol fought in the first two fights.
Southpaw Beterbiav was revealed
The Southpaw position, which Beterbiev used in battle, showed that he has a fresh bag of tricks that he will hire against Bivol to take revenge this year.
Beterbiev wants to make sure he pulls the referees out of the game to a rubber match, because in his two fights with Bivol there was controversy. Some boxing fans, including the Bivol promoter, believed that they deserved to win the first fight in October last year.
Bivol led the entire second half of the competition, showing no interest in the fight. In the rematch in February last year, Beterbiev won six of the twelve rounds in what should be a draw, but the judges in Riyadh gave him Bivol.
Some believe that Bivol has decided to compensate for the controversy of the first struggle to silence complaining fans and his promoter. Bivola’s victory, however, created fresh controversy because it seemed that it was a gift decision.
Monotonous combat style bivol
Many fans want Bivol to move and face WBC champion David Benavidez for the unquestionable championship. They think that 40 -year -old Beterbiev is antique and snail-paced, and they do not want Bivol to utilize its advantage of speed to view his way to another monotonous decision.
Both fights were very monotonous because of the bivol style. Beterbiev lacked the speed of the foot to catch up when he was running in the ring. In each round there were extended episodes in which there were no action. Bivol threw away and then escaped from a snail-paced Beterbuwal.
Bivol would be much more challenging to utilize this style against “Mexican monster” by Benavidez, because it is faster in cutting off the ring. He would force Bivol to fight, in which he is not good against the great punchers.
