Everything about Daniel Ponce De Le N totally explained
Daniel Ponce de León (
Tarahumara Amerindian born
July 27,
1980 in
Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua,
Mexico is a 5' 5"
southpaw professional
boxer in the
junior featherweight (122
lb) division. He is the current
WBO world junior featherweight champion. ("Ponce" isn't a
nickname, as a casual observer might believe; Ponce de León is Daniel's given
surname.)
Amateur career
Ponce de León competed at flyweight where he won the bronze medal at the 1999 PanAm games but was defeated in the opening round of the 2000 Olympics by eventual bronze medalist
Wladimir Sidorenko of Ukraine.
Professional career
Ponce de León's only loss was a unanimous decision loss to
Celestino Caballero on
February 17,
2005. Ponce de León won the vacant WBO junior featherweight title on
October 29,
2005 defeating
Sod Looknongyangtoy by unanimous decision, handing Looknongyangtoy his first career loss.
He has defended his title six times against
Gerson Guerrero, Sod Looknongyangtoy again,
Al Seeger,
Gerry Peñalosa,
Rey Bautista and
Eduardo Escobedo.
The first round knockout wins over Looknongyangtoy in rematch and Bautista highlight Ponce de Léon's awesome power but his technical weaknesses were seen in his fights with
Celestino Caballero and
Gerry Peñalosa. In a brief statement after the Philippines vs Mexico world cup last August, Filipino boxing analyst, Ronnie Nathanielsz, stated that De Leon wasn't in peak condition when he fought Gerry Peñalosa.
Ponce de León retained his title against Eduardo Escobedo on
December 8 2007 via unanimous decision, as part of the undercard of the
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.-
Ricky Hatton fight.
