He holds the distinction of being the first ever WBA interim champion when he beat Hector Acero Sánchez in October 1998 to win the interim super-bantamweight title.[1] He would get a chance at becoming full champion in his next, but would get stopped in the eighth round against incumbent champion Néstor Garza.[2] He died on October 12, 1999, three days after a bout against José Luis Valbuena in Caracas, where he collapsed after the fight and was removed on a stretcher. He died due to brain injuries sustained in the match.[3]
