Jalisco Welterweight Championship
The Jalisco Welterweight Championship is one of the state championships of the Guadalajara box y lucha libre commission. Very little is known about the championship and it's likely been defunct more often than it's been active.
The championship first shows up in the 1940s. It's believed to have become the Occidente Welterweight Championship sometime in the early 1950s. However, it would still occasionally appear on cards under that name (such as in 1977), and returned on a more consistent basis in the 2010s as a title for Jalisco's independent scene. It also persisted after CMLL's abandonment of the Occidente version circa-2020, and is considered a continuation of the same lineage by some.
