Pablo César Cano García (born 4 October 1989) is a Mexican professional boxer. He held the WBA interim super lightweight title in 2012, and challenged once for the WBC super lightweight title in 2011 and once for the WBA welterweight title in 2012. As of November 2020, he is ranked as the world’s ninth best super lightweight by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board.

Professional career

In June 2010, Pablo beat the veteran Óscar Leon to win the NABF super lightweight title.[1]

WBC super lightweight championship

On 17 September 2011 Cano faced three-division titleholder Érik Morales for a vacant WBC super lightweight title, on the undercard of Victor Ortiz vs. Floyd Mayweather. Cano lost via technical knockout (TKO) in the tenth round to Erik Morales.[2] He replaced hard-hitting Lucas Matthysse of Argentina, who withdrew with a viral infection that prevented him from training.[3]

He also fought Paulie Malignaggi in what was supposed to be a title fight, however Cano missed weight. Cano dropped Malignaggi in the eleventh round. The fight ended with a disputed split decision in Malignaggi's favor.[4]

Cano also faced Shane Mosley in Cancun, dropping a unanimous decision with all three scorecards being 115-113.

On 13 September 2018, Cano fought Ruslan Madiev. The fight started off fast, with both fighters exchanging a number of punches from the opening round. In the fifth round, Madiev caused a massive cut over Cano's left eye with a headbutt followed by a punch. Huge amounts of blood made the referee stop the fight, which led to a technical decision victory for Cano, who was up 49-47 on all three scorecards at the time.[5]

In his next fight, Pablo Cesar Cano fought former champion Jorge Linares who moved up from lightweight. Cano shocked the boxing world by dominating Linares, dropping him three times in the first round before the judge would see that Linares, despite beating the count could not take any more punishment from Cano. Linares seemed like he could not take any of Cano's punches and seemed oversized by Cano.[6]

After the biggest win of his career, Cano faced Roberto Ortiz on November 16, 2019. Ortiz started off strong and managed to drop Cano in the first round. After the first round ended, it seemed like that was the only time Ortiz had any chance at winning the fight, since from the start of the second round Cano took over the fight. Cano would end up dominating the round and dropping Ortiz twice, before the referee had seen enough and called the fight to a stop.[7]
