Former junior lightweight titleholder Andrew Cancio made his return to the ring on Saturday night in Sonora, Mexico, delivering a knockout victory over Gustavo Molina in the sixth round.
Cancio, 22-5-2 (17 KOs), dropped Molina, 24-27 (9 KOs), in both the first and second rounds. The lightweight bout was scheduled for eight rounds, but Cancio’s power ensured it didn’t go the distance.
This marked Cancio’s first fight since his November 2019 stoppage loss to Rene Alvarado. The 35-year-old from Blythe, California, captured the WBA junior lightweight title in 2019 with a fourth-round knockout of Alberto Machado, repeating the feat in their June rematch, only this time with a third-round knockout. However, his year ended with the defeat to Alvarado, sidelining him until now.
An announcement regarding Cancio’s next fight is expected soon.
