Miguel Angel Espino (b. February 16th 1980, N. Hollywood) is a professional boxer.

Personal life

Espino is from a down and out area, and sees boxing as an escape from this - looking to the day when he can present his parents the keys to a new house. His mother is legally blind, and he has one younger sister. Espino is by nature a polite and quiet character, as well as a bit of a "foodie".

Boxing career

He was placed on the West Coast Team in reality tv show The Contender, and was matched against Peter Manfredo, the high-ranked boxer who had been reinstated into the show by popular vote amongst the contestants. He was unlucky to lose, the three judges giving Manfredo 144 points and Espino 141 - the maximum for the five round fight being 150.

On losing, he was hugely upset at missing his oppertunity to lift his family out of their "plight".
