This past Saturday Mexico once again remained on top of the world, \u00a0after the sensational fight that Saul Canelo \u00c1lvarez and Jaime Mungu\u00eda gave us in Las Vegas, during the celebration of Cinco de Mayo. The famous anniversary date which has, for decades, become a tradition to host the greatest champion of the moment; Salvador Sanchez, Julio Cesar Chavez, Erik Morales, De la Hoya, Mayweather and todays king Canelo Alvarez have \u201cowned\u201d such date.<\/span><\/div>\n
Canelo vs Munguia \u00a0was a fast-paced thrilling fight, spiced with non stop action. The young Mungu\u00eda managed to land hard punches on Canelo several times and clearly dominated the beginning of the fight, making it highly dramatic.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Unbridled, Canelo reined him in, with his vast experience, crocodile like patience and high ring IQ plus great preparation. He weathered, parried and slipped punches, biding his time, \u00a0until Jaime swung and overextended himself in the fourth round.<\/span><\/span>Canelo instantaneously seized the momentary lapse and flaw, caught the younger man with a left hook, almost lifted him off his feet with a humongous right uppercut and added another left hook to the face for good measure. Down Jaime went to the canvass chastised and chastened.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
More precise, poised and chillingly hard hitting, Canelo executed \u00a0a high-level boxing master class thereafter, chalking up points by \u00a0inflicting top marks, \u00a0to brilliantly defend his super middleweight belts and in the process add to his collection the beautiful Tamaulipas belt, commemorating the 5 de Mayo.<\/span><\/div>\n

I did not have the opportunity to be present in this memorable event held at the T Mobile Arena a promotion of PBC and TGB under the new series aired by Prime Video and also by DAZN. My oldest son Jose, graduated from North Eastern university with honors and I was together with my wife Christiane and Jose\u00b4s siblings enjoying every second of the so many moments that mark the new beggining of his life. Our great pride, and I would not change these days in the company of my entire family for anything.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0I tried without success to put this thrilling\u00a0<\/span>fight to the back of my mind, but I did have to take a lot of calls and we finally ended up watching, thrilling and marveling to it as a family sitting in the hotel lobby thanks to my computer screen.<\/span><\/div>\n

The woman is supreme. The life giver, she gives birth, \u00a0nurtures, guides, teaches and sets the example. the woman is a worker, she is love, she is passion and compassion. She is loyalty, she is everything\u2026 and our everything. And that is why I want to remember and revere the work of women in boxing, since in all the great stories of success for fighters there is a woman next to the successful champion, or a champion in her own right.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
But I want to start with my Mom; The most adorable woman in the world, Do\u00f1a Martha who married Don Jos\u00e9 in the provinces of Mexico, who worked while pregnant when my father was going through a difficult situation, she took him by the hands and said \u201cJos\u00e9, as long as you have these two hands, we are going to be all rightget \u201d\u2026 Mother of six and grandmother of 14, she is the pillar of the Sulaim\u00e1n Sald\u00edvar family.<\/span><\/div>\n

Lonnie Ali did not marry Muhammad Ali, a megastar and universal figure, she married the \u00a0legendary champion who was then afflicted \u00a0with a terrible illness; Lonnie accompanied him through all the difficult years. Lonnie was always by his side every step of the way \u00a0because outside the limelight, it was a life of suffering, needing loving and dedicated care in the privacy of their own home. The confirmation of such a Great, Great Woman.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Fula Duran, wife of Roberto Dur\u00e1n, always by his side, during the years of fame, partying and extravagance, but today, as always, she is with Duran. They are an exemplary couple, happy, united, amiable and adorable. Hand in hand with Hands Of Stone, forming a Rock of Ages.<\/span><\/div>\n

She stuck to her guns, and now, after 15 years of his sobriety, they live happily, devotedly and contentedly.<\/span><\/span>She is the steadying handbrake that Julio needs; She is the one who steers the steady course for him to be happy, gives him absolute freedom with faith and \u00a0confidence. So together, they travel the world working, and establishing the champion’s legacy at its deserved rarefied heights.<\/span><\/div>\n

Humberto Chiquita Gonz\u00e1lez met Margarita, serving and selling \u00a0meat; He tells us that he climbed on a box, behind the counter, to make himself look taller, and when he saw his future wife, he gave her the choicest cuts of meat.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0A lot was at stake!

Thus I could continue with many love \u00a0stories, in which women have been a fundamental part in the success of careers, life stories, and love stories. Another mighty All Time Great Carlos Z\u00e1rate, with Nelly; Lennox Lewis, with Violet; Daniel Zaragoza, with Elsa; In short, these lines serve to pay tribute to all the women of the world.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are also the mothers who are champions in the ring. It is not so common, since female fighters normally dedicate themselves to a career as boxers, and then seek to make their family.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mariana La Barby Ju\u00e1rez is an exemplary doting mother, and her daughter Natasha is her inspiration to continue day after day to this day.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ana Mar\u00eda Torres, happily married to Cristobal Mora, did leave the ring to dedicate herself to creating a united home full of happiness, with her children Cristobal Rogelio and Julio Enrique.<\/span><\/div>\n

Today’s anecdote…<\/span><\/div>\n
My dad lost his mother, my grandmother Wasila, when he was just 17; She died of cancer at 42.<\/span><\/div>\n
There wasn’t a single day that he didn’t mention her; He talked to her, asking her for strength, advice and guidance from heaven.<\/span><\/div>\n
When Don Jos\u00e9 talked to \u00a0us about his grandmother, he was filled with hope and enthusiasm; It was thanks to her that he learned the culture of service to others, her empathy and compassion towards everyone\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n

\"\"
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He told us many instances of when she did good turns without mentioning it or ever expecting anything in return. That is love in word and deed\u2026indeed.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
