He beat me in the first fight, and then I took the title from him in the second bout..

Though he lost his belt to Gutierrez in his first defense, he planas on regaining the title and initiating a long reign. "I am happy to have the opportunity to rectify the loss I suffered against Roger Gutierrez," said Rene Alvarado. “I made mistakes in that second fight, but I promise to correct them all on August 14 so I can deliver to Nicaragua a great victory.
