Spanish journalist Edu Aguirre emerged victorious over his Argentine counterpart Gastón Edul in a highly anticipated boxing match at Ibai Llanos's La Velada del Año VI event. The rivalry, which extended beyond the ring and stemmed from a World Cup final context, continued to generate buzz on social media following Aguirre's win.

He further fueled the online conversation by sharing a picture with Ronaldo's partner, Georgina Rodríguez, who is Argentine. In a subsequent Instagram story, Aguirre added a provocative caption to the photo with Rodríguez: "The only Argentine who was happy last Saturday," accompanied by a laughing emoji and a thank you for her support.

Aguirre, a sports journalist who began his career covering Real Madrid for Marca, has become a recognized figure in sports media. He has appeared on programs like Futboleros and Tiki Taka, and is currently a panelist on El Chiringuito de Jugones and a field commentator for Movistar Plus+.

The match between Aguirre and Edul was one of the most anticipated bouts of the event. Edul, a journalist for TyC Sports, made an emotional entrance to the arena, paying tribute to Argentina with the national anthem and a shirt referencing the Malvinas Islands, a gesture that went viral on social media.

Aguirre, born in Madrid in 1988, is married with two children and is known for his sometimes controversial and sharp analyses of footballers and clubs. His victory and subsequent social media posts have continued to be a topic of discussion among fans and media.
