Alvarado Eager To Win Title On Day Of Arguello's First Championship

•Nov 23, 2019

From the moment he donned his first pair of gloves, Nicaragua’s Rene ‘Gemelo’ Alvarado longed to follow in the footsteps of the late, great Alexis Arguello. With his first career title fight comes the best way imaginable to honor his lifelong boxing idol. The 30-year old junior lightweight contender is all in for his upcoming rematch with 130-pound titlist Andrew ‘Chango’ Cancio (21-4-2, 16KOs), which takes place this weekend at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California (Saturday, DAZN, 7:30pm ET). More so than a chance at avenging a past defeat and equally as important as joining twin brother Felix Alvarado on the title stage, comes the cultural significance of the fight date.

Rene ‘Gemelo’ Alvarado can’t think of a better way to celebrate a year filled with upsets than by joining his fellow career-long underdogs—even if it means taking out one of its own in the process. “This has been God’s plan, He led me to this moment and it is my time to win the world title,” Nicaragua’s Alvarado (31-8, 20KOs) told BoxingScene.com of his upcoming rematch with Andrew Cancio (21-4-2, 16KOs), the man who’s stood front and center in the Year of the Upset.

Andrew Cancio looks to continue to the feel good story of 2019, but doesn’t at all feel good about the manner in which he’s being passed over for an upgraded title status. The dual-occupational 130-pound titlist—who holds a full time job with the Southern California Gas Company—is at the tail end of training camp for a Nov. 23 rematch with Rene Alvarado, which will mark his second attempted defense. The bout takes place in Indio, California, on the same night as will a 130-pound clash between now former three-division titlist Leo Santa Cruz and Miguel Flores at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
