Delete Fails to meet either
WP:NBOX or
WP:GNG. There's a lack of significant independent coverage, junior boxing titles fail to show notability, and notability is not achieved by having a famous promoter. I think it's quite possible he becomes a notable boxer, but right now it appears to be
WP:TOOSOON.

Keep I think it's debatable whether or not he meets
WP:GNG, but he does meet
WP:NBOX as it is currently written. It was my error to not keep up with the changes in the criteria, especially the one that changed the ranking criteria from top 10 to top 15.

Keep Up and coming and on the rise rapidly; very unique for his age. Very popular amongst the Latino community, the Mexican community in particular. This isn't like any other teen boxer out there. Quickly on his way to fame due to his spotless record.

"Up and coming" is another way of saying "not yet notable", as is "on his way to fame". Popularity is not a WP notability criteria. I'm willing to change my vote is someone can show
WP:GNG is met.

Comment I do not believe he passes
WP:NBOX, but the existence of some sources
[1][2][3][4][5] make an arguable claim he meets
WP:GNG (though he did fight on ESPN, which may discredit that source). I personally have no comment on the matter, but if
WP:GNG isn't met, draftify is better than delete.

None of these sources seem like significant, independent coverage of him. Most are routine sports reporting and one is an interview with his father/trainer. I see nothing there to show
WP:GNG is met.

I thought the LA Times had a good article, and the notability of ESPN was also good; also the fact a boxing blog wants his opinion on the upcoming fight was a good showing of potential notability. I think it's closer to being met than not.

Keep. Currently ranked 11 by the WBO and 15 by the WBA and therefore eligible to fight for two world titles. --
