Lorenzo Trejo: Boxing Career and Notable Fights
Lorenzo Trejo Valencia, nicknamed “Explosivo,” is a Mexican boxer from Ciudad Obregón, Sonora. He boxed professionally from 1995 to 2017, finishing with a record of 35 wins, 33 losses and one draw, according to boxing record databases.
Three world-title challenges
Trejo challenged Iván Calderón for the WBO minimumweight title in Caguas, Puerto Rico, on September 5, 2003, losing a 12-round unanimous decision. He later challenged WBC minimumweight champion Eagle Kyowa in Tokyo on November 13, 2006, and lost another 12-round decision. In September 2007, Édgar Sosa stopped him in the ninth round while defending the WBC light-flyweight title in Las Vegas.
Trejo also won regional titles, including the NABF minimumweight championship. Those results outline a long career across several divisions, from the NABF minimumweight championship to major world-title challenges and subsequent appearances against a later generation of opponents.
Further career results
Trejo remained active well after the three major world-title challenges. His November 2008 schedule included an IBO minimumweight championship contest against Nkosinathi Joyi in East London, South Africa, which ended in defeat. Later appearances took him to Puerto Rico against Cesar Seda in December 2012 and to California against Bruno Escalante in February 2014.
The later part of his record also includes victories over Ricardo Silva and Ramon Pena in 2013, followed by wins against Rene Trujillo and Javier Romano in Fresnillo in 2015. Those domestic successes sat alongside difficult overseas assignments rather than replacing them. Antonio Nieves defeated him in Erie in November 2015, and subsequent entries include Keenan Carbajal in Tucson in 2016 and Damien Vazquez in Salt Lake City in 2017. The sequence shows how a boxer best remembered for minimumweight title attempts continued taking assignments at higher weights and against a later generation of opponents.
His NABF minimumweight success included an eighth-round stoppage of Oscar Murillo in Ciudad Obregon on August 21, 2004, followed by a twelve-round decision over Regulo Gamez in April 2005.
