In a candid and critical remark, Jaime Munguía shared his thoughts on Edgar Berlanga’s controversial celebration after his loss to Canelo Álvarez. Munguía, known for his no-nonsense approach to boxing, didn’t mince words when he expressed his disbelief at Berlanga’s reaction following the fight.

“Honestly, it’s ridiculous,” Munguía said. “I don’t see any reason to celebrate after a defeat. We, as fighters, should always strive to improve, to push ourselves harder after every fight, regardless of the result. Celebrating a loss goes against everything I believe in. We should never be content with just surviving a fight — we should be focused on winning.”

Munguía, who has established himself as a prominent figure in the boxing world, stressed that a fighter’s mentality should be one of constant growth and determination. He made it clear that he takes every loss as an opportunity to learn and get better, never as an excuse to celebrate. “It doesn’t make sense to celebrate a defeat. Of course, I respect Canelo; he’s a great champion. But we should focus on improving and not celebrating a loss as if it were a victory.”

The comments were made in response to Berlanga’s public reaction after his fight with Canelo, where he was seen celebrating despite taking a decisive loss. Berlanga, who had hoped to challenge Canelo for the title, found himself outclassed in the ring, yet his celebration raised eyebrows within the boxing community.

Munguía, always focused on the future, shifted the conversation to his own goals. He mentioned that he wasn’t concerned with celebrating past victories but rather with preparing for future challenges. “Every fight is a chance to grow and learn. That’s what I focus on, not celebrating past moments,” he said.

Looking ahead to his own career, Munguía emphasized that he was constantly striving to be the best, a mentality that he feels should be the norm for all fighters, not just himself. “My focus is always on what’s next. We all need to continue working hard, pushing ourselves, and learning from each experience,” he said.

As the boxing world continues to debate Berlanga’s reaction to his loss, Munguía’s comments serve as a reminder that the true spirit of a fighter lies in resilience, growth, and never settling for anything less than victory.
