MESSI GETS A TOUGH ONE FROM CANELO

-

In one corner, Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez. In the other, Lionel Messi. The Argentina star may have gotten into trouble with the wrong person after moving the Mexican national team jersey with his foot while celebratin­g his team’s win against Mexico. The boxer said on Twitter that Messi “was cleaning the floor ” with the Mexican shirt. He said it was a disrespect­ful toward the Mexicans. “He better ask God not to run into me,” Canelo tweeted. Messi was taking his right shoe off when he — apparently — moved the Mexico shirt which he had exchanged with a Mexican player after Argentina’s 2-0 win. The shirt was on the floor.
