Weighing In - Part 81

Andrew Cancio

Andrew Cancio is an American boxer born in 1988.  On Sept. 17, 2016, he fought against Joseph Diaz in Arlington, Texas for the WBC featherweight title.  While he was weighing in, a slight mishap occurred with the modesty cloth (above).

A slowed-down replay, above, shows us that Cancio actually caused the incident when, after raising his fist in triumph after weighing under the limit, he brought down his arm and accidentally hit the edge of the cloth.  Well, that's what makes things interesting.

Cancio lost this fight, but later won the WBA super featherweight title in 2019.  His overall record is 21 wins and 5 losses.
