A pure clash of styles and space control.

Iman Lee is a well-schooled technician with a strong amateur background. He fights smart, uses footwork effectively, and looks to control distance.

Munguia Calderon, by contrast, is a relentless Mexican pressure fighter. He doesn’t stop—even when he’s taking damage.

In the Grand Prix’s first round, Munguia delivered one of the division’s standout performances. He cornered a much taller Nigerian opponent, forced an inside battle, and closed the show with a late stoppage.

Lee will need to disrupt and time. He must land on the front foot, beat Munguia to the punch, and deny him the chance to string together combos up close.

Experience is relatively even. Munguia lacks a deep amateur résumé but fights with composure and intent. For Lee, just like for Munguia, this is among the first true tests at the professional level.

Lee opened his first-round fight with impressive output—90+ punches per round from 1 to 3. He slowed slightly later, but still totaled 478 punches over 6 rounds—nearly 100 more than Munguia. However, Munguia was more accurate, landing at 23% vs Lee’s 19%. He forced his fight on the inside and found cleaner targets.

This will be the third fight in 2025 for both. Both men are building momentum and seem physically fresh enough to finish the year with 5–6 bouts. That suggests high-level conditioning and durability.

Munguia looks like the heavier puncher. He throws with intent, targets the body often, and transitions well to the head. But Lee’s power is deceptively underrated. He actually holds a slightly higher KO percentage than Munguia and specializes in catching aggressive fighters on the way in—a key stylistic counter in this matchup.

Neither man has shown any real signs of fragility. Lee uses his range well to stay safe. Munguia works behind a tight guard and keeps his chin tucked, making him hard to hit cleanly. Still, with such a contrast in styles, this fight could test both chins in ways they haven’t experienced yet.

The fight will again take place in Saudi Arabia, so no hometown advantages or partisan judging are expected. The real variable here is how both fighters handled travel and acclimatization ahead of this crucial second-round bout.

This isn’t just about advancing to the next Grand Prix stage—a good showing could fast-track either man toward bigger events in Riyadh Season or future TKO promotions. That means it’s not just about winning—it’s about performing in a way fans remember. Expect both to chase a definitive victory.
