Miguel Angel Espino (b. February 16 1980, North Hollywood, California) is a professional boxer.

Personal life

Espino is from a down and out area, and sees boxing as an escape from this - looking to the day when he can present his parents the keys to a new house. His mother is legally blind, and he has one younger sister. Espino is by nature a polite and quiet character, as well as a bit of a "foodie".

Boxing career

He was placed on the West Coast Team in reality tv show The Contender, and was matched against Peter Manfredo, the high-ranked boxer who had been reinstated into the show by popular vote amongst the contestants. He was unlucky to lose, the three judges giving Manfredo 144 points and Espino 141 - the maximum for the five round fight being 150.

On losing, he was hugely upset at missing his opportunity to lift his family out of their "plight".

"Espino" is the Spanish word for Hawthorn.
