STEVE BARRERAS

New Mexico boxer Steve Barreras started his pro career on August 22, 1988 winning a Unanimous decision over Eddie Hernandez.  He fought his first 5 fights on the road in California before returning to his home town of Albuquerque, NM and taking a 4 round decision victory over fellow New Mexican Danny Almanzar.  His toughness made him a favorite opponent to test potential stars on their way up.  His record includes bouts against some great names including:  David Sample, Robert Wangila, Skipper Kelp,  and World Champions Ike Quartey, and Yori Boy Campas.  Barreras never fought for a title and had his last bout on Aug. 3, 1994 ending on a winning note against Anthony Ayon.  He ended with a record of 10-11, 3 ko's.  I have the following Steve Barreras bouts available on DVD:

  2. Steve was a nice guy and a fierce competitor. He fought for Albuquerque PAL, I fought for Las Cruces PAL we fought in different weight divisions. I always enjoyed watching Steve fight. He was one of the first Albuquerque boxers i met when I started boxing. Always very friendly. Great guy. Hope he is doing well.
