Fought with Canelo and Mayweather: Carlos Baldomir’s career in boxing
A native of Santa Fe, he showed great feats from a young age and had the opportunity of his life against the always complicated Floyd Mayweather. In the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino de Las Vegas, it was for the title of the International Boxing Organization and presented those of the WBC and AMB. There were 12 intense rounds, but the judges determined that the winner on the cards and for Unanimous decision It was money.
Four years later, he would be able to beat Jackson Osei Bonsu, from Belgium, and would gain his right to challenge Saul Canelo Álvarez for the World Boxing Council title in the Superwelter category. But little could do before the Mexican, who knocked him out in the sixth round. Finally, in 2014 and after a defeat against Russian Andrey Meryasev, he ended his professional career and ended with a record of 49 victories (15 of them per Ko), 16 losses and 6 draws.

Finally, justice was done and in 2019 it was ruled An 18 -year prison sentence. It received several appeals, and thanks to how little he had left of the fortune made in his passage through boxing (most had lost it in bets), it was reduced to 16 and a half years.
