Miguel Angel Espino (born February 16, 1980) is a professional American boxer.
Espino is from the "hood", and sees boxing as an escape from this - looking to the day when he can present his family the keys to a new house.
He was unlucky to lose, the three judges giving Manfredo 144 points and Espino 141 - the maximum for the five round fight being 150.
Espino fought Kelly Pavlik on December 19, 2009, at the Beeghly Center on the campus of Youngstown State University for the WBC, WBO and Ring Magazine middleweight titles.
Miguel lost by way of fifth-round knockout after giving a spirited effort in which he went inside and traded with the champion, but while both guys landed a lot on each other, the power difference was clearly in Pavlik's favor, as he dropped Espino a lot prior to the stoppage.
