José Quirino
Mexican boxer
José Quirino (born 19 April 1968) is a Mexican former professional boxer who competed from 1986 to 1997. He held the WBO super flyweight title in 1992.
Professional career
Quirino was not a hard puncher, so he won many of his fights with his speed.
WBO super flyweight title
Quirino won the WBO super flyweight title by upsetting Puerto Rico's José Ruíz Matos in The Aladdin, Las Vegas, Nevada.
On September 4, 1992, he lost his championship against an undefeated Johnny Bredahl in a very disputed twelve-round decision, in Copenhagen.
Legacy
Jose was undefeated at 16-0 until he lost his 17th professional fight against Tony "the bazooka" Luca in a highly disputed ten-round fight. José has losses to some of boxing's best fighters like Danny Romero, Michael Carbajal, Mark Johnson, Junior Jones, and Johnny Bredahl. Jose was also nominated as the rookie of the year for Mexico in 1986.
Personal life
Quirino's son, José Jr., went 20–3–3 as a professional boxer before he was shot and killed in Tijuana in 2020.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “José Quirino” as mexican boxer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as mexican boxer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6293763. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1968, 1986, 1997 and 1992.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
