Cancio turned pro in 2006 and had a record 19-4-2 before challenging and beating Puerto Rican boxer Alberto Machado for the WBA (Regular) super featherweight title.[1]
The rematch against Machado was scheduled to take place in the summer of 2019. Machado was ranked #5 by the WBA at the time.[2] On June 21 at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California. Cancio retained his WBA title via third-round stoppage of Machado, landing a strong body shot to Machado's left side and causing him to go down.
In his next fight, Cancio lost his belt to Rene Alvarado.[3] Alvarado, ranked #1 by the WBA at super featherweight,[4] dominated through most of the fight, before the referee decided to stop the fight after the end of the seventh round.[5] Following his defeat, he was released by his promoter Golden Boy, but quickly signed a new contract with Top Rank.[6]
