Canelo Álvarez loses wager following Mexico's 3-0 loss to USA
Mexican boxer Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez lost a significant wager after the Mexico national football team suffered a 3-0 defeat against the United States at State Farm Stadium in Arizona. Before the match, Álvarez shared proof of a $7,182.72 USD bet (approximately 130,000 Mexican pesos) on social media, expressing confidence in a Mexican victory.
The match, part of the CONCACAF Classic, marked a difficult setback for head coach Rafa Márquez. The United States secured the win through goals by Julian Hall and Cavan Sullivan, following errors by Mexican goalkeeper Raúl Rangel. While Mexico had scoring opportunities, including chances by Santiago Giménez, they were unable to overcome the American side.
