Former WBO Featherweight World Champion Steve Luevano has retired from Boxing according to his manager Cameron Dunkin who said the decision was made late last night. Luevano 29, finishes with a 37-2-1(15) record. He held the title from July 2007 when he claimed the belt on the road in England scoring an impressive eleventh round stoppage over local hero Nicky Cook. He went on to make 5 successful defence’s before losing his crown to JuanMa Lopez in February. Over the summer Luevano was let go from his contract with Top Rank who had promoted him for his entire career. It’s not known what Luevano intends to do next but on behalf of spam.com congratulations on a great career Steven enjoy retirement.

I just lurk the forums most of the time but why do you always have something negative to say about Puerto Ricans?.......You have some deep rooted issues you need to sort out.

But as far as the thread subject goes, I guess its better to retire to early rather than too late, Luevano was a good solid fighter who won a trinket so credit to him if he feels the need to retire.

[xcaret v3]

he was a decent fighter, lopez best win to date.... only thing he lacked was power.........i really liked him, hopefully he gained enough money and invested some of it...

['Sugar' Freddi]

He'll be back.

[Willie Beamen]

He'll be back.

For him to retire out of the blue there must have been some medical reason as to why, he does come off as being fragile to me.
