“Just as I respect Argentina, you have to respect Mexico! I’m not talking about the whole country [Argentina]. I’m talking about Messi because of the s**t he did,” he also said.

Although people tried to explain that Leo accidentally hit the jersey while taking his boots off [as seen in the video], this didn’t really stop Canelo.

“Since the MEXICO shirt is on the ground, it’s already an insult. Stop bulls**tting about what was or wasn’t,” he replied.

Controversy out of nowhere in my books. Clearly, Alvarez is simply frustrated about Mexico’s World Cup defeat.
