Aarón Alameda López (born 18 August 1993) is a Mexican professional boxer who challenged for the WBC super bantamweight title in 2020.
Early life
Born into a family of boxers in Nogales, Sonora, Alameda naturally followed them to the gym and began boxing at the age of 13.[1] In his first appearance at the Mexican National Olympics in 2009, he won a gold medal by defeating Diego De La Hoya, the nephew of legendary world champion Oscar De La Hoya, in the finals.[3] The Mexican would get his revenge three years later, defeating Alameda in the same event for the gold.[4] Alameda won gold medals at a total of three National Olympics as well as the 2013 National Championships.[5][6]
Professional career
Alameda made his professional debut on 5 April 2014, defeating José Luis Leal by third-round technical knockout (TKO) in Magdalena, Sonora.[7] He ended the year with his sixth straight stoppage victory, a first-round knockout (KO) of Iván Vázquez in Monterrey.[7] After six more wins in 2015,[1] he knocked out Missouri native Andre Wilson on 19 January 2016 at the Club Nokia in Los Angeles, his first fight outside of his native Mexico.[8] With a record of 23–0, he received his first title shot on 8 December 2018, defeating Venezuelan veteran Breilor Terán for the WBC FECARBOX interim super bantamweight title on the main event of a Televisa Deportes Sábados de Box card in his hometown of Nogales.[9][10]
He fought only once in 2019, a third-round KO of Nicaraguan journeyman Jordan Escobar in April.[11] He was scheduled to fight Luis Nery in a Showtime-televised WBC super bantamweight title eliminator in March 2020, but the show was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] Instead, he faced him six months later, on 26 September, for the vacant WBC super bantamweight title after Rey Vargas was stripped of his belt. After twelve rounds the judges handed Nery a unanimous decision (UD) victory with scores of 110–118, 112–116 and 113–115.[12]
