In what is a definite candidate for Upset of the Year, France's Bruno Surace (26-0-2, 5 KOs) stunned the boxing world in knocking out former world champion Jaime Munguia (44-2, 35 KOs) in the sixth round in Munguia's hometown Saturday night at Estadio Caliente in Tijuana, Mexico.


After a quiet opening round, Munguia scored a knock down of Surace with a counter left hook. Surace survived the round and continued to fight on and in the sixth, Munguia offered Surace the more inviting target, leaning back with his hands down. And Surace delivered the right hand in knocking down the hometown fighter. Munguia attempted to get up but was counted out.


“I know that he is an excellent boxer. So, we worked on our counter punches," Surace said. "He is a true warrior. I want to thank him for the opportunity. This was a big experience for me.


“Middleweight is my true weight class. But we’ll see if {a rematch} can happen.”
