Comments Thread For: Photos: Canelo's Brother Grabs WBA Gold in Mexico

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Rigoberto Alvarez (26-2, 19KOs), the older brother of unbeaten Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, won a twelve round split decision over Nobuhiro Ishida (22-6, 7KOs) to win the vacant "regular" WBA junior middleweight title at Mesón de los Deportes in Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico. The WBA made Miguel Cotto the "super champion" at 154-pounds. Alvarez has spent most of his career in higher weight divisions, like super middleweight. He sees this as a brand new chapter in his career.

This sets the stage for the inevitable brother vs brother match-up. Or not.

I don't see "old man" Alvarez holding onto the belt for long, but it's good to see another boxing family prosper.

Good win for the family, it would be funny if canelo never makes it because he is the one with all the attention and hype but his older brother already holds a world championship and noone can take that away from him.. It's canelos' turn or one of the other 6 remaining.

Keep on hating man.. Ur rotten like an old tomatoe.
