WBO Super Flyweight Champion

Fernando Montiel,Mexico (35-2-1-36 KO)

Fernando Montiel (born March 1, 1979 in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico) is a professional boxer in the Super flyweight (115 lb) division. His record is 34-2-1 (25 KOs). He is the current WBO Super flyweight champion. Fernando Montiel is a hybrid boxer, using accurate punches to slow down his opponent and using swift hand speed and quickness to frustrate his opponents. This was perfectly showcased in his fight with game but relatively unknown Mitchell Samba. Scouted as a pure puncher, Montiel used lightning fast quick and crisp combinations all throughout the fight. The fight ended with 1:44 seconds left in the ninth round when Montiel unloaded double picture-perfect vicious haymakers to the body and head. This sent Mitchell to the canvas and promptly ended the fight.
