Canelo Alvarez to defend against Cintron Nov. 26 in Mexico

Dan Rafael of espn.com is reporting that Mexican Sensation, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will defend his WBC
Super Welterweight title against former Welterweight champion Kermit Cintron on November 26 in Mexico.

“It’s finalized. It’s a great fight, another dangerous fight for Canelo and another step up for him,” Said Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer.

“There is no question about it that Cintron is a very dangerous guy,” Schaefer said. “That’s what you need to do with Canelo. He’s 21 years young and this is about building up to the bigger names and bigger fights. Canelo is well on his way. I think our matchmakers, Eric (Gomez) and Roberto (Diaz), along with (Golden Boy president) Oscar (De La Hoya), who is closely involved in this, have done a very good job on the matchmaking side. To tell you the truth, I’m a little worried because Cintron is a tough, tough, tough guy and a good puncher.”
