Guillermo Jones may be the most dangerous champion which nobody knows. In fact, at 39 and a career that is already 42 fights old – Jones may very well fade into the “best” fighter that we never knew.

“El Falino” (Jones) was 22-2 as an amateur fighter in Panama before opting to turn pro in 1993. Fighting as a Welterweight, Jones racked up 21 straight victories from the gate.
His efforts won him a versions of the WBA & WBC Welterweight Titles, the Panamanian Welterweight Title along with the WBA Light-Middleweight crown. In short, Guillermo Jones was one of the hottest Welterweights on the planet.

Then in ’97 he lost via 2nd round KO by David Noel.
Nobody expected Jones to lose and he knew it.
8 weeks later he avenged the loss to Noel by KO’ing him in a rematch seconds into the 1st round.

2 fights later, Jones did the unthinkable – he jumped up 4 weightclasses to fight as a Cruiserweight.
He did not disappoint.
Jones racked up 9 victories against one very controversial Draw and no losses.

Campaigning as a Cruiserweight, Jones again won versions of the WBA/WBC crown.
The problem is – that was in 2005.

As the Champ, Guirllermo has competed only 4 times in nearly 6 years.

Fortunately for him, Jones’ last victory (over a year ago) earned him the WBA World Cruiserweight Title.

And now, finally, with all eyes on him to step up to the plate and prove his existence in the
upper crust of elite prodegies – Guillermo Jones is up to bat.

The Boxing rankings committee is tired of waiting.
Talk is over.

It is GUILLERMO JONES’ turn to make himself known.
