At 19, Suárez was already a professional boxer which allowed him to earn money for the first time, fighting in festivals in any part of Buenos Aires.

[citation needed] He did not have a skilled technique but his fierceness and attitude helped him win many fights, and therefore more people came to see him box.

For the first time, the denigrated lower class saw how one of them could escape from poverty to live a comfortable life at the highest level.

He fought against the Chilean Estanislao Loayza at a sold-out Luna Park stadium, winning by points average in what was considered one of his best fights.

Amongst the attendance was the President of Argentina, José Félix Uriburu and the Princes of England, Edward of Windsor, later King Edward VIII, and Prince George of Kent, who cheered Suárez from the front seats when the referee raised Suarez's hand proclaiming him the winner.

His body was brought from Cosquín to Buenos Aires, and buried in La Chacarita Cemetery, The funeral was accompanied by a large crowd who took the coffin to Luna Park, the place where Suárez had won his most glorious fights.
