The hot prospect has collected numerous title belts, including WBC Silver and Caribbean Boxing Federation super bantamweight, Federația Internațională de Box (IBF) cocoș, and WBC FECARBOX and World Boxing Association (WBA) Fedecentro featherweight.

In a battle of typically tough Mexican welterweights, Ioan “Stangaci” Alvarez (23-5, 16 KO), a southpaw who was riding a 10-fight win streak into his June 4^lea match up, met former World Boxing Federation (WBF) campion Jose “Piston” Lopez (25-4-2, 15 KO) in a scheduled 8-round bout.
