WBO minimumweight champion
editOn 27 August 2011, Fuentés won a twelve-round split decision over Raúl García to capture the WBO minimumweight title. The bout was held at the Auditorio Benito Juárez, in Guadalajara. He would go on to vacate the title as he moved up to junior flyweight.
Personal life and death
editFuentes suffered a blood clot in his brain as the result of a 2021 fight with David Cuellar. He never fought again after that and complications from the injury resulted in his death at the age of 37 on November 24, 2022.[3] That was his fifth loss in the last six matches, and his third consecutive inside the distance defeat.
