Trained former [[WBO]] World Heavyweight champion [[Sultan Ibragimov]]

[[Category:Trainers|Lewis, Panama]]

Banned from being at ringside for life after removing the padding from the gloves of [[Luis Resto]] before a fight with [[Billy Collins Jr.]] Lewis and Resto also served jail time for this offense. Lewis is popularly known for working in the corner of former [[WBA]] and [[IBF]] world light welterweight champion [[Aaron Pryor]]'s first bout with [[Alexis Arguello]]. One of the most remembered cornerman quotes ever said was made by Lewis in this bout, when he said to a tiring Pryor: "You want the (black) bottle. The one I mixed." After drinking from the bottle, Pryor appeared to become refreshed with new stamina and energy. No one -- to this day -- knows what was in the bottle. [[Luis Resto]] claimed that Lewis would break open antihistamine pills then add them to the water.

==Notes==
*Frampton was managed by [[IBHOF]] member and former-world champion [[Barry McGuigan]].
*Not unlike his former manager and mentor McGuigan, Frampton has often said that he wants to bridge the sectarian divide in Northern Ireland through boxing. He grew up in a staunch Unionist area of Belfast, however learned his trade at a Catholic gym and elected to fight under the Irish flag as an amateur instead of for Great Britain.

*[[Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year]] (2016).
*[[BWAA Fighter of the Year]] (2016).
*[[BBBofC Fighter of the Year]] (2016).

A memorable 2016 saw Frampton unify his IBF Super Bantamweight title with the WBA title held by fellow undefeated Brit, Scott Quigg. Frampton then moved up to dethrone WBA Featherweight champion, Leo Santa Cruz of Mexico. Santa Cruz was also undefeated but had held titles at Bantamweight and Super Bantamweight so with this victory The Jackal was awarded a ranking in the Ring Magazine's Pound for Pound top-10.

*On the origin of his nickname, Chocolatito: "My grandfather, Fracois Gonzalez, was a famous boxer in Nicaragua. My uncle, Cali Gonzalez, was also a really good boxer, as well as my father, Luis Gonzalez. Due to his dark skin complexion, everyone called him 'Chocolate.' So when I started boxing, people called me 'Little Chocolate,' which is where the word 'Chocolatito' comes from."
*On [[International Boxing Hall of Fame|Hall of Famer]] and fellow Nicaraguan [[Alexis Arguello]]: "He was my friend and my mentor. My manager was one of his best friends. Alexis and a group of friends formed the company which promotes me in Nicaragua. Our gym is almost a tribute to his life philosophy. There you will see posters of him, trainers who were instructed by him, etc. I remember him often. He taught me what it means to represent Nicaragua in boxing abroad. He was an international star and an ambassador of the sport. Most importantly, he was a good friend, a good person, and somebody who really cared about the fighters. "

Guillermo Rigondeaux Ortiz

2020-02-09T15:32:40Z

<boxer>492989</boxer>
'''Trainers:''' [[Freddie Roach]], [[Ronnie Shields]], [[Ismael Salas]], [[Jorge Rubio]], [[Pedro Luis Diaz]] 
'''Manager:''' [[Gary Hyde]] (2009-) 
'''Promoters:''' [[ARENA Box-Promotion]] (2009-), [[Roc Nation Sports]] and [[Caribe Promotions]] (co-promoter)

== Career Overview ==
Guillermo Rigondeaux was one of the most decorated amateurs in the history of boxing. Competing in the bantamweight (54 kg) class, he won seven [[2004 Cuban Olympians|Cuban]] national championships (2000-2006), two [[Olympics|Olympic]] gold medals (2000 & 2004), and two amateur world championships (2001 & 2005). Rigondeux claimed an amateur record of 463-12. His last losses came against [[Rencise Perez]] and [[Bekzat Sattarkhanov]] in 1998, [[Waldemar Font]] in 1999, and [[Agasi Mamedov]] in 2003.

On July 22, 2007, Rigondeaux and teammate [[Erislandy Lara]] failed to appear for their scheduled bouts at the Pan American Games in Brazil. It was initially announced that Rigondeaux was to turn professional, joining fellow 2004 Cuban Olympians [[Odlanier Solis]], [[Yuriorkis Gamboa]] and [[Yan Barthelemy]], who defected earlier in 2007. However, Rigondeaux and Lara were taken into police custody three days later for overstaying their visas and sent back to Cuba. Rigondeaux and Lara insisted they never intended to defect, but German promoter [[Ahmet Oener|Ahmet Oener]] of [[ARENA Box-Promotion]] said they signed professional contracts. Cuban leader Fidel Castro said at the time that neither would again be included on the national team because "the Cuban athlete who deserts his delegation is like a soldier who deserts his unit in the midst of combat."

Rigondeaux was able to successfully defect in February 2009. He was taken out of Cuba on a cramped smuggler’s boat and delivered to Miami, where he joined Lara, who had defected the previous June. Both signed promotional deals with ARENA Box.

In only his seventh professional bout, Rigondeaux won the interim WBA super bantamweight title with a twelve-round split decision against [[Ricardo Cordoba]] on November 13, 2010.

Rigondeaux captured the full WBA super bantamweight title on January 20, 2012 by knocking out [[Rico Ramos]] with a body shot in round six.

In April 2013, Rigondeux upset [[Nonito Donaire]] by a twelve-round unanimous decision to unify the WBA and WBO super bantamweight titles.

Trainer [[Freddie Roach]] said of Rigondeaux: "He's probably the greatest talent I've ever seen."

'''Trainer:''' [[Jose Benavidez Sr.]] 
'''Promoter:''' [[Sampson Lewkowicz]]
==Amateur Career==
*Amateur Record: 15-0-0.
*Benavidez had minimal amateur experience and there were two reasons for this. “My dad always trained me a professional style,” he explained. “Once you go into the amateurs, you pick up a lot of bad habits. You’re not really throwing your punches all the way. You kind of slap; that’s how we felt, so my my dad thought it would be a good idea to practice that pro style. Also, I was really heavy when I was younger - about 250 pounds, when I was 13, so it took me two years to lose the weight. That’s another reason why I didn’t really fight in the amateurs.” Benavidez didn’t fight in any tournaments but made up for that with sparring some of the best fighters in the world.

Guillermo Rigondeaux Ortiz

<boxer>492989</boxer>
'''Trainers:''' [[Freddie Roach]], [[Ronnie Shields]], [[Ismael Salas]], [[Jorge Rubio]], [[Pedro Luis Diaz]] 
'''Manager:''' [[Gary Hyde]] (2009-) 
'''Promoters:''' [[ARENA Box-Promotion]] (2009-), [[Roc Nation Sports]] and [[Caribe Promotions]] (co-promoter)

== Career Overview ==
Guillermo Rigondeaux was one of the most decorated amateurs in the history of boxing. Competing in the bantamweight (54 kg) class, he won seven [[2004 Cuban Olympians|Cuban]] national championships (2000-2006), two [[Olympics|Olympic]] gold medals (2000 & 2004), and two amateur world championships (2001 & 2005). Rigondeux claimed an amateur record of 463-12. His last losses came against [[Rencise Perez]] and [[Bekzat Sattarkhanov]] in 1998, [[Waldemar Font]] in 1999, and [[Agasi Mamedov]] in 2003.

On July 22, 2007, Rigondeaux and teammate [[Erislandy Lara]] failed to appear for their scheduled bouts at the Pan American Games in Brazil. It was initially announced that Rigondeaux was to turn professional, joining fellow 2004 Cuban Olympians [[Odlanier Solis]], [[Yuriorkis Gamboa]] and [[Yan Barthelemy]], who defected earlier in 2007. However, Rigondeaux and Lara were taken into police custody three days later for overstaying their visas and sent back to Cuba. Rigondeaux and Lara insisted they never intended to defect, but German promoter [[Ahmet Oener|Ahmet Oener]] of [[ARENA Box-Promotion]] said they signed professional contracts. Cuban leader Fidel Castro said at the time that neither would again be included on the national team because "the Cuban athlete who deserts his delegation is like a soldier who deserts his unit in the midst of combat."

Rigondeaux was able to successfully defect in February 2009. He was taken out of Cuba on a cramped smuggler’s boat and delivered to Miami, where he joined Lara, who had defected the previous June. Both signed promotional deals with ARENA Box.

In only his seventh professional bout, Rigondeaux won the interim WBA super bantamweight title with a twelve-round split decision against [[Ricardo Cordoba]] on November 13, 2010.

Rigondeaux captured the full WBA super bantamweight title on January 20, 2012 by knocking out [[Rico Ramos]] with a body shot in round six.

In April 2013, Rigondeux upset [[Nonito Donaire]] by a twelve-round unanimous decision to unify the WBA and WBO super bantamweight titles.

Trainer [[Freddie Roach]] said of Rigondeaux: "He's probably the greatest talent I've ever seen."

[[File:Edwin valero I.jpg|left|thumb|400px|Edwin Valero]]
<boxer>122183</boxer>
* '''[[:Category:Edwin Valero Gallery|Edwin Valero Gallery]]'''
==Career Review==
'''Edwin "Dinamita" Valero''' started boxing at age 12 and compiled a reported amateur record of 86-6 with 45 knockouts. Some reports list 57 knockouts, but Valero confirmed his record after his second professional fight, saying, "Soy estilista y tambien pego duro. En amateur gane 86 peleas y propino 45 nocauts." He was Venezuelan amateur champion three years running, as well as the 2000 Central American & Caribbean Featherweight Champion, beating mexican olympian [[Francisco Bojado]] in the final.

Valero was in a severe motorcycle accident on February 5, 2001. He suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and a fractured skull. About a year later, he was cleared by doctors in Venezuela to fight and turned professional on July 9, 2002 with a first-round knockout of Eduardo Hernandez.

[[Golden Boy Promotions]] signed Valero after his third fight in the United States, a first-round knockout of Tomas Zambrano in Irvine, California on December 18, 2003. Golden Boy tried to put him on a card in New York in January 2004, but he was declined a license after a routine MRI revealed a small blood clot on his brain, the result of the motorcycle accident. The [[New York State Athletic Commission]] placed him on the indefinite suspension list.

After a seventeenth-month layoff, Valero returned to boxing. He fought in Argentina, Panama, Venezuela, Japan, and France.

On February 25, 2006, Valero knocked out [[Whyber Garcia]] in the first round to win the [[WBA]] Fedelatin Super Featherweight Championship. In his next fight, he knocked out [[Genaro Trazancos]] in two rounds, which ended his consecutive first-round knockout streak at eighteen. Valero eclipsed the undocumented 100-year-old record established by [[Young Otto]] in 1906, who reportedly won sixteen straight matches by first-round knockout. Valero said, "In my matches, I focus on winning, but I'm not going for knockouts." Valero's record was surpassed in 2008 when [[Tyrone Brunson]] scored nineteen straight first-round knockouts.

Valero won the WBA Super Featherweight Championship with a tenth-round knockout of [[Vicente Mosquera]] on August 5, 2006 in Panama. He made four successful title defenses before relinquishing the title on September 4, 2008 to move up to lightweight.

In March 2009, Valero was granted a license in Texas, which had him submit to a battery of tests before allowing him to fight there. On April 4, 2009, Valero knocked out [[Antonio Pitalua]] in two rounds to win the vacant [[WBC]] Lightweight Championship in Austin, Texas.

In May 2009, Valero was arrested in Texas and charged with drunk driving. [[Top Rank]] wanted to put him on the [[Miguel Angel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao|Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto]] undercard in Las Vegas, but he was denied a U.S. visa because of the pending DUI charge. Valero suggested that the visa had been refused because of his support for Venezuela President Hugo Chavez, a fierce critic of U.S. policy.

Valero made his first defense of the WBC Lightweight Championship on December 19, 2009 with a seventh-round stoppage of [[Hector Velazquez]] in Venezuela. His second defense was a ninth-round TKO of [[Antonio DeMarco]] in Mexico on February 5, 2010. Valero advanced his record to 27-0 with 27 knockouts.

After defeating DeMarco, there was talk of Valero fighting [[Manny Pacquiao]] in late 2010. [[Freddie Roach]], trainer of Pacquiao, said, "The number one contender in my mind right now is Valero."

==Arrest & Death==
In March 2010, Valero's 24-year-old wife, Jennifer Carolina Viera de Valero, was hospitalized with cracked ribs and a punctured lung. Valero allegedly assaulted her, but his attorney stated that she had fallen down a flight of stairs while inspecting a water tank on a roof.

Valero went to the hospital where his wife was being treated and caused a ruckus. He was arrested on charges of harassing his wife, threatening hospital personnel, and resisting arrest. Valero tested positive for drug and alcohol use after he was arrested and entered rehab under court order.

On April 18, 2010, Valero was arrested after his wife had been found dead in their room at the Intercontinental Hotel in Valencia, Venezuela. She had been stabbed three times. Valero left the hotel room around dawn that morning and told security that he had killed his wife.

On April 19, 2010, Valero was found hanging in his cell by another inmate, who alerted authorities in the police lockup. Valero used the sweat pants he was wearing to hang himself from a bar in the cell. He still showed signs of life when they took him down, but they were unable to save him and he died about 1:30 a.m. ET.
