Sniper takes out Alvarez in three rounds. In front of a absolutely packed stadium erected on the beautiful Mamita’s beach club, Quintana Roo, Mexico, two heavy hitters thrilled the loud Mexicans fans with a very exciting fight. Shawn Cox of Barbados was out weighed by his Puerto Rican opponent Francisco Alvarez by 35lbs. Cox fought a very intelligent fight using his right jab from a south paw stance and quick combinations to easily take the the first round from Alvarez who was looking to load up for the big shots. In the second round those big shots did land and visibly shake the the well built pugilist from the small Caribbean island. The “Sniper” recovered quickly and adhered to instructions from his corner to use his speed and movement, then his power. Cox executed the plan well in the third round smartly using his boxing skills to set up his power shots that sent Alvarez down for the count in his own corner. Alvarez had beaten Cox in the first round as an amateur at the XVIII Central American and Caribbean Games in Maracaibo, Venezuela in 1998 to win the silver medal.
