Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another wild story from my own life. Today, I wanna talk about a dude named Santos Álvarez.
So, I was digging into this guy’s life, you know, just curious about who he is. Turns out, he’s a big-shot boxer, one of the best from Mexico. They call him “Canelo” Álvarez, and this guy’s got titles from WBC, IBF, WBA, and WBO.
I started looking into his family. I found out that his real name is Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán. His mom’s name is Ana Maria Barragan, and they’re from a place called Los Reyes in Michoacán, Mexico. It is a small town, Canelo’s parents were farmers, and they lived a simple life. He wasn’t born with a silver spoon, you know? He grew up poor, just like many of us.
Then, I got into his early life. Born on July 18, 1990, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, he’s 31 as of 2021. Canelo’s not just any boxer. He has great counterpunching skills and is also a body puncher. He’s one of the highest-paid athletes in the world, which is pretty impressive.
I was curious if he had kids. And guess what? He’s got four kids, each with a different woman. It got me thinking about how complicated life can get, especially when you’re in the spotlight.
