JAKARTA - Saul Canelo Alvarez caused a stir on social media following his controversial tweet about Lionel Messi.

According to the boxer, the Argentine did not respect Mexico by placing the El Tri team jersey on the dressing room floor while celebrating a 2-0 victory at the 2022 World Cup.

Some Argentines jumped to defend their idols, but one of them, journalist Pablo Carrozza, went a step further.

After Canelo posted the tweet, Carrozza fought Canelo. "Che, boxing is one of the most beautiful sports, but it's clear that so many punches affect my cell."

Then he went on to defend Argentina's captain. "Messi must be the most polite and well-behaved sportsman in the world. You are a play player, you are cool because we love you again."

However, the most serious comments appeared in the next tweet, in which he attacked the Mexican boxer personally.

"Before criticizing Messi, Canelo should talk about his dark side with alcohol and how he wants to be with his own daughter on his 15th birthday," he wrote.

Así como respeto Argentina tiene que respetar mexico!! no hablo del país(argentina) hablo de messi por su mamada que hizo. 👊🏻🔥

"Because the MEXICAN shirt was lying on the floor, it was already an insult."
