Enrique Andrade Ornelas (born September 17, 1980) is a Mexican professional boxer. A two-time world title challenger, Ornelas challenged for the WBO super middleweight title in 2010, as well as the WBA light heavyweight title in 2012.

Background

[edit]

Born in Jesús del Monte, Guanajuato, Mexico, Ornelas is the younger brother of super middleweight contender Librado Andrade.[1][2]

Career

[edit]

Ornelas began his professional career on 16 October 1999, beating previously unbeaten Rigoberto Placencia on points over four rounds at the Marriott Hotel, Irvine, California].[3]

Ornelas vs. Hopkins

[edit]

On December 2, 2009, Ornelas fought Bernard Hopkins through 12-rounds but lost a unanimous decision. The bout took place in the light heavyweight division and Ornelas had never fought that high up in weight before.[4]

First title shot

[edit]

Ornelas went to Montreal for his first shot at a world title as he faced WBO champion Robert Stieglitz set for November 20.[when?] Stieglitz was stopped by Ornelas' half-brother Librado Andrade in 2008 and he made the third defense of the WBO crown.[5]

He now makes his home in La Habra, California.
