Middleweight edit
Munguía vs. O'Sullivan edit
Following Munguía's victory against Patrick Allotey, he vacated his WBO light middleweight title as he moved up to middleweight to face Gary O'Sullivan on 11 January 2020. Munguía won his middleweight debut via eleventh-round technical knockout.[10]
Munguía vs. Johnson edit
In his second bout at middleweight, Munguía faced Tureano Johnson on 30 October 2020. In the sixth round of the fight, Munguía landed a right uppercut which caused a nasty gash in Johnson's lip. This caused a doctor's stoppage, giving Munguía the victory and the WBO Inter-Continental middleweight title. After the fight, he made clear his desire to win a world title at middleweight, saying "I want any of the 160-pound champs. Any [of them] would be great for me."[11]
Munguía vs. Szeremeta edit
On 19 June 2021, Munguía faced former world title challenger Kamil Szeremeta who had taken the fight on short notice. Munguía won the fight via sixth-round corner retirement. Now ranked number 1 by the WBC and WBO, he said, “I would like to [fight for a world title] by the end of the year. If not, a battle between Mexico and Puerto Rico with Gabriel Rosado [who had knocked out Bektemir Melikuziev on the undercard], he looked really good tonight.”[12]

Munguía was scheduled to make his first WBO Inter-Continental middleweight title defense against the 41-fight veteran Gabriel Rosado on November 13, 2021, at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.[13] Munguía entered the fight as the significant betting favorite, with most odds-makers having him -700 or -750 betting favorite.[14][15] Munguía won the fight by unanimous decision, with scores of 118-110, 119-109 and 117-111. He landed 328 total punches to Rosado's 154, and successfully connected with 50% of his power shots.[16]
