Jaime Munguia, Jimmy Kelly make super middleweight limit for their fight Saturday

Jaime Munguia and Jimmy Kelly made the super middleweight limit for their fight Saturday.

Middleweight contender Jaime Munguia and opponent Jimmy Kelly on Friday weighed in for their super middleweight fight Saturday in Anaheim, California (DAZN).

Munguia weighed 165 pounds, Kelly 164.

 

That’s the heaviest the Mexican star has weighed in his career. The former junior middleweight titleholder has made the 160-pound limit for his last five fights, including a third-round stoppage of D’Mitrius Ballard in February.

Munguia (39-0, 31 KOs) has been targeting 160-pound titleholder Jermall Charlo.

Kelly (26-2, 10 KOs) has fought as heavy as 169 but is primarily a middleweight. He last fought in February, when he defeated previously unbeaten Kanat Islam by a majority decision.
