Juan José Montes Valderrama (born July 15, 1989, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico) is a Mexican professional boxer. He competes in the Super flyweight division and is the current WBC Youth World Super Flyweight Champion.
Montes defeated Francisco Reyes for the second time in over a year to retain the WBC Continental Americas crown via a 12 round unanimous decision. On November 28, 2009, Montes beat contender Fernando Lumacad by a 10 round majority decision to win the WBC Youth World Super Flyweight title.
On October 2, 2010, Montes defeated Filipino Sylvester Lopez in a WBC Super Flyweight title eliminator bout. Montes knocked Lopez to the canvas in the first round. In the third round, Montes suffered a headbutt which caused a cut above his right eye and resulted in Lopez being deducted a point. The referee was ultimately forced to stop the bout in the fifth round due to the severity of the cut and Montes was awarded a unanimous technical decision.
In May, Montes will fight Tomás Rojas for the WBC Super Flyweight Championship.
