Jaime Munguia continues his middleweight journey against Tureano Johnson on Friday in Indio, Calif. (DAZN).

Munguia, a former junior middleweight titleholder, will be fighting at 160 pounds for the second time. The Mexican slugger, only 24, stopped Gary O’Sullivan in 11 rounds in his debut at the weight in January.

Johnson, a 36-year-old veteran, is a capable boxer-puncher but he has come up short in his biggest fights. He seemed to be finished as an elite fighter after knockout losses to Curtis Stevens and Sergiy Derevyanchenko but bounced back to stop previously unbeaten Jason Quigley in nine rounds in July of last year.

In this episode of Showdown, DAZN commentator Beto Duran interviews Munguia and Johnson at the same time.

Here’s what they had to say.

The Ak & Barak Show is available on DAZN and Sirius XM Fight Nation, Channel 156.
