Pound for Pound king Canelo Alvarez didn’t see what he was expecting as Roman Gonzalez vanquished his teammate Julio Cesar Martinez on March 5 at the Pechenga Arena in San Diego. It was Martinez’s second loss as a pro, ending an unbeaten run of six years.
Although Martinez could survive all 12-rounds and fight back a few times, he was clearly on the wrong end of a lopsided beat down. Following the scrap, ‘Chocolalito’ Gonzalez earned a comfortable win on the scorecard. Three judges scored the contest 112-116, 110-117, and 110-118, all in favor of WBC (diamond) super flyweight champion, Roman Gonzalez.
Canelo Alvarez was present on the ringside with partner Fernanda Gomez to cheer for his teammate. But had to leave the arena in despair after Martinez failed in the ring. Well, Canelo himself is on an unprecedented rise in the upper weight divisions.

He is currently the undisputed super middleweight champion. And will look to add Dmitry Bivol’s WBA light heavyweight title to his belt collections on May 7. On gaining a win over the Russian star, Alvarez can march towards a trilogy clash against Gennady Golovkin. Therefore, he seems to have enriched his immediate future in the sport.

That said, Canelo Alvarez’s team, outside the ring, is currently going through some massive changes. A loyal teammate in Ryan Garcia has split ways and has also begun bantering with Team Canelo. Although Garcia hasn’t been disrespectful towards Eddy Reynoso, he has accused the trainer of being absent from fight camps.

Canelo Alvarez and his former teammate Ryan Garcia is in a clash
Alvarez responded to Garcia and ridiculed his process of fighting. Amidst all of it, Garcia’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, provoked a potential catchweight clash between Alvarez and Garcia in the future. While Canelo Alvarez has blamed Ryan Garcia for being absent in regular training, the Mexican star had similar views about his teammate, Andy Ruiz Jr.
Therefore, Team Canelo doesn’t appear to have its best time in the gym. However, Alvarez is on a flawless run and is arguably the biggest name in the existing boxing trend. So, it seems all good for Eddy Reynoso and Canelo at the end of the day.
