[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

On August 23rd at the Arena Roberto Duran, Leroy "The Sensacional" Estrada (12-1, 5KOs) and Carlos "Araņita" Ortega (9-3-2, 4KOs) will fight each other for the vacant WBC silver strawweight title.

There is only one catch - the two fighters are cousins.

Their family members tried their best to prevent the contest from happening - but the cousins came together and made a united decision to move forward with the fight.

They got the spotlight now. Rocky Marciano KO'd his own brother, so it's not a first. It's still an oddity, sellable even, better than Danny's next fight.

I don't think theres any solid proof to the Marciano fighting his brother stuff

The rumor is good enough, I'm not trying to smear Rocky. Just saying, it wont be a first.

Oscar de la hoya Also fought his cousin at one time, I don't remember his name. But there was bad blood between them, that's when oscar was a contender, before he became champion. I wish I can remember the name of his cousin who obviously was not a De La Hoya, but had another last name.
