This prospect @ 140lbs, signed to Al Haymon, made his sophomore appearance opening the Dirrell vs. Yıldırım card @ the Minneapolis Armory last weekend. He scored a spectacular kayo, but would have gone unseen by a wider audience had not a benevolent soul captured it from ringside. This content is protected Well. My interest sure is piqued. He's still only 19 years old, but has boxed more than half of his life so far. Apparently went ~100-20 in the amateurs, with a good number of RSC's...

Three years later, and Juárez has suffered a gut check first career loss to Filipino southpaw upsetter All De Guia "The Machine Gun" Rivera via MD (surviving one knockdown) in June but then rebounding with a dominant UD victory over Jairo "Doberman" López Múñiz (who also survived one knockdown) in September. This was his ninth straight appearance on a PBC on Fox/FS1/Fox Sports PPV show and thirteenth - spanning his entire run since his pro debut - under the banner of TGB Promotions, so they are obviously vested in keeping him televised while developing. Even if he doesn't end up chasing gold he'll still be fun to watch.
