Luisito Pio Espinosa (born June 26, 1967) is a Filipino actor and formerprofessional boxer who competed from 1984 to 2005. He is aworld champion in two weight classes, having held theWorld Boxing Association (WBA)bantamweight title from 1989 to 1991 and theWorld Boxing Council (WBC)featherweight title from 1995 to 1999.

Professional career

[edit]

Espinosa turned professional in 1984. In 1989, he won theWBABantamweight title by knocking outKaokor Galaxy in the first round. He was then managed by famed boxing analyst and businessman Hermie Rivera. Espinosa defended the title twice before losing it toIsrael Contreras by a fifth-round knockout in 1991.

Espinosa made an arduous climb back to the top, this time fighting under Joe Koizumi's stable. His comeback culminated in 1995, when he won theWBCFeatherweight title by outpointingManuel Medina. In his first title defense, Espinosa knocked out Alejandro "Cobrita" Gonzalez in the 4th round in Mexico. He then took on the hard-hitting body-puncherCésar Soto at Luneta (Rizal) Park in Manila and hammered out a well-deserved unanimous decision in front of his countrymen, which included no less than PresidentFidel V. Ramos. He defended the title seven times before losing the belt in 1999 to Soto who won by a controversial unanimous decision. The following year, he challengedGuty Espadas, Jr. for the Vacant WBC Featherweight Title, but was outboxed and lost a technical decision after their fight was stopped after a clash of heads.

Retirement

[edit]

Espinosa retired in 2005 after a public outcry for him to stop fighting after beingknocked out byCristóbal Cruz. He spent his retirement living in the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas.

Post-boxing career

[edit]

Due to some promotional and managerial disputes and divorce, Espinosa was left with little. He had to take jobs washing dishes, stocking shelves, flipping burgers and cleaning carpets in the US.[3] Espinosa, who was out of the boxing scene for quite a while, entered themixed martial arts (MMA) scene by training brothersNick Diaz andNate Diaz in boxing to improve their stand-up.[4] He also assisted in the training of theUniversity of San Francisco's Boxing team from 2006-2007 in preparation for the annual Hilltop Cup. After losing his job in the US he was invited to work in Hong Kong as a boxing trainer at the Everlast Fight and Fitness Gym and moved in November 2014.[5] On June 16, 2015, after 17 years, he won a case for prize money that was owed to him his by the promoters of his WBC featherweight title defense againstArgentineCarlos Rios.[6] In 2017, he moved to the Everlast Gym as a boxing trainer in downtownDalian city in mainlandChina.[7]

When he returned to the Philippines, he was added as cast ofFPJ's Batang Quiapo, as Roberto.[8]
