Juan José Montes Valderrama (born 15 July 1989) is a Mexican professional boxer. He challenged for the WBC super flyweight title in 2011.[1]

Professional career

Montes defeated Francisco Reyes for the second time in over a year to retain the WBC Continental Americas crown via a 12-round unanimous decision.[2] On November 28, 2009, Montes beat contender Fernando Lumacad by a 10-round majority decision to win the WBC Youth World Super Flyweight title.[3]

On 2 October 2010, Montes defeated Filipino Sylvester Lopez in a WBC Super Flyweight title eliminator bout. Montes knocked Lopez to the canvas in the first round. In the third round, Montes suffered a headbutt which caused a cut above his right eye and resulted in Lopez being deducted a point. The referee was ultimately forced to stop the bout in the fifth round due to the severity of the cut and Montes was awarded a unanimous technical decision.
