Boxer

The Resume

    (January 1, 1962- )
    Contestant on ‘The Contender’
    Won in the first round but later withdrew due to injuries
    Nickname is El Gallo Negro

Why he might be annoying:

    He is Hispanic yet he looks black.
    Although he won his fight against Tarick Salmaci, he sure got hurt because he later withdrew from the competition due to injuries caused by Tarick.
    He looked way too hyper in the ring and his father kept telling him to relax.
    Although he won the fight, the other boxers weren’t impressed.
    Ishe Smith called him over-hyped and said he has no defense.
    Jimmy Lange told him right to his face that he was sloppy and even Juan agreed.
    After beating Tarick Salmaci, he told Sugar Ray Leonard that he was hurt and wouldn't risk his career if the cut above his eye didn’t heal fast enough.
    Sugar Ray said that and no fighter walks in the ring 100% healthy and later said Juan looked like an amateur.
    When he received his gold gloves necklace for winning the fight, he said he was off his game plan instead of just being grateful.
    He walked away from the competition due to an injury.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He turned pro at the age of 15.
    At 18 years old, he was the youngest fighter on ‘The Contender.'
    He is boxing to raise money for college.
    He uses to his advantage that opponents underestimate him due to his age.
    He never wanted the easy way out; he always wanted the more challenging fight possible.
    He was the only boxer from his team to win his first fight on ‘The Contender.'
    He had the balls to tell Joey Gilbert to his face that he wouldn’t pick him to fight because he didn’t see him as a challenge.
    He dedicates his career to his late grandfather who he wears a picture of around his neck before and after every fight.
    When Ahmed Kaddour was throwing hard punches at Sugar Ray Leonard, Juan actually spoke up, saying he was just showing off and it was ‘stupid and disrespectful.’
    He beat Tarick Salmaci, who’s bigger than he is.
