Jaime Munguia, Gabriel Rosado clear final hurdle before 160-pound showdown

Jaime Munguia and Gabriel Rosado on Friday cleared the final hurdle before their 160-pound showdown Saturday.

Jaime Munguia and Gabriel Rosado on Friday made the middleweight limit ahead of their scheduled 12-round bout at Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

Munguia weighed in exactly at the 160-pound limit, Rosado at 159.4.

Munguia (37-0, 30 KOs) is a former junior middleweight titleholder who is 3-0 — with three knockouts — at middleweight, including a sixth-round KO of Kamil Szeremeta in June.

Rosado (26-13-1, 15 KOs) is a former title challenger who is known for coming up short in his biggest fights. However, he stopped then-unbeaten prospect Bektemir Melikuziev in three rounds on the Munguia-Szeremeta card to earn this opportunity.
