The final press conference for the Alvarez vs. Munguia fight took place on Wednesday in Las Vegas. Canelo Alvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion, put his four world championships on the line against Jaime Munguia at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday.

Alvarez' former promoter turned enemy Oscar De La Hoya was there to support Munguia and laid into Alvarez during the press conference.  The two had a heated exchange that could have turned physical.   

"I just said the truth.  That's it.  People don't like hearing the truth," De La Hoya said as he was leaving Wednesday's press conference.  "I was ready, clinched fist and all."
