Juan Alfonso Keb Baas: Boxing Career and Notable Fights
Juan Alfonso Keb Baas was a Mexican professional boxer who competed in the lighter divisions. His recorded career includes a challenge against Brian Viloria for the NABF flyweight title in 2004.
Fight with Brian Viloria
The BoxRec title-fight record lists Viloria’s defense against Keb Baas in Uncasville, Connecticut. Viloria won the twelve-round bout by unanimous decision. Keb Baas’s professional results also include regional title contests in Mexico, as documented in his record profile.
A career in the lower weight classes
The NABF flyweight title fight against Viloria is among the best documented bouts in Keb Baas’s professional record.
Regional wins and championship challenges
Keb Baas defeated Osvaldo Guerrero in Mérida on December 1, 2000, winning by stoppage in a WBC FECARBOX light-flyweight title contest. His later schedule included a WBO minimumweight challenge against Kermin Guardia in April 2001 and a WBC minimumweight bout against José Antonio Aguirre in February 2003. Both world-title opportunities ended in defeat.
The Boxerlist record also lists meetings with Ulises Solís, Hugo Fidel Cázares and Eric Morel. Those opponents place Keb Baas within an active international circuit across the lower weight classes.
A full-distance test against Viloria
The Viloria contest took place on February 13, 2004, at Mohegan Sun. It was a flyweight regional-title defense for Viloria, separate from Keb Baas’s earlier minimumweight world-title challenges. Keb Baas completed the twelve-round distance but lost on all three judges’ cards.
His career consequently included different types of achievement and opportunity: a regional title win at home, unsuccessful world championship bids and full-distance contests overseas. Following the opponent, division and belt attached to each bout helps distinguish those stages and gives the preserved Viloria video its proper competitive context.
Further career results
Keb Baas’s later opposition included several established world champions. In February 2004 he lost a unanimous decision to Brian Viloria in Connecticut. He faced Eric Morel in Puerto Rico in January 2005 and Glenn Donaire in California that June, losing both on points. December 2005 brought a majority-decision defeat against Nelson Dieppa in Fajardo. Those assignments added flyweight and light-flyweight experience to the regional-title contests already recorded earlier in his career.
