Canelo vs Munguia: Live updates and results

23:34:28

MIELNICKI JR SHUTOUT?

Cruz is putting it on ‘White Magic’ who is dealing well with the cut. Mielnicki’s body shots are landing sweetly in the seventh round.

Veteran trainer Ronnie Shields is urging Vito forward and encouraging the body attacks. PBC ringside scorer Larry Hazzard has awarded Mielnicki every round, including a couple of knockdowns.

CRUZ DOWN FOR A SECOND TIME

It’s going from bad to worse for Cruz. He’s down at the end of the fourth from another left hook, this one high on the head.

Mielnicki turned pro young and has a loss on the slate, but he’s punching hard. Especially at the end of the rounds. Cruz needs to switch on.

CRUZ CONTROLLED

This is Cruz’s first time fighting in Las Vegas and he’s been dropped at the end of the third by a left hook. Referee Robert Hoyle counted is as a legitimate knockdown even though the actual punch landed after the bell. Mielnicki the boss but he’s cut over the left eye.
