Javier Varguez: Boxing Career and Major Results
Javier Varguez was a Mexican professional boxer who competed at light flyweight. His record includes regional title contests, including a WBC Continental Americas light-flyweight bout.
Varguez did not win a major world championship. He faced future world champion Humberto González in 1988 and lost by stoppage. His career record and listed title bouts are preserved in boxing databases.
A long professional schedule
Varguez began his recorded professional career in November 1981 with a knockout win over Maravilla Pinder in Tenosique. His schedule later included repeated appearances in Mérida, Cancún and Campeche, as well as contests abroad.
In March 1991, he challenged Michael Carbajal for the IBF light-flyweight championship in Las Vegas. Carbajal won by unanimous decision. Varguez subsequently recorded regional-title victories over opponents including Pablo Tiznado, Rafael Orozco and Raul Rios.
Experienced opponents across the divisions
His record also includes a November 1994 stoppage defeat against Ricardo López in Mexico City. Later assignments brought meetings with Manny Melchor, Fernando Montiel and Israel Vázquez. His final listed contest was a loss to Alex Baba in Miami in August 2001.
BoxerList totals his career at 41 wins, 26 defeats and one draw. That record spans almost twenty years of documented competition. It supports a portrait of an experienced professional with regional success and world title opportunities, while keeping those achievements distinct from a major world championship reign. His career can be followed through those dated results, from his early Mexican schedule to international championship contests.
