Alberto Machado
Introduction
Alberto Machado (9 September 1990) is a Puerto Rican professional boxer who has held the NABO super featherweight title since April 2017.
Professional career
Machado started boxing at 10, trained by José "Canito" Marrero. Despite being right-handed, he's boxed as a southpaw ever since. Machado won several national competitions as an amateur before turning pro at 22.
Machado won his first 8 fights before competing for the USNBC super featherweight title against fellow Puerto Rican prospect Alvin Torres. Machado would prove to be too much for Torres, winning by technical knockout in the second round. Machado's second title would be the NABO super featherweight, for which he beat Juan José Martínez by TKO in just one round. Machado unified North American titles against NABA super featherweight titlist, Carlos Morales. Morales was knocked down on the second round before losing a unanimous decision (99-90, 99-90, 98-91).
