Juan Jose Estrada.
Former WBA super bantamweight champion Juan Jose Estrada has been stabbed to death in what was reportedly a family quarrel in Tijuana, Mexico over the weekend.
The 51 year old Estrada who was nicknamed ?Dinamita? won the World Boxing Association super bantamweight title with a stunning upset of Luis Mendoza who had an impressive record of 26-1 on July 10, 1989 after earlier capturing the World Boxing Council International title the previous year.
Estrada lost his title to Hawaii based Jesus Salud of Filipino heritage when he was disqualified by referee Larry Rozadilla in the 9th round in a title fight he was losing badly at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, California.
Estrada who had a record of 36-11 with 30 knockouts retired in 1994 after losing four bouts in a row, the last being a 4th round TKO to Francisco Valdez on May 13, 1994.
Reports from the border town of Tijuana said Estrada was taken to a pharmacy on Sunday wioth a stab wound but died before an ambulance arrived to rush him to a hospital.
An official in charge of the investigation was quoted as saying Estrada ?had a quarrel at home with some relatives that led to one of them wounding him, apparently with a knife.?
A spokesman for he prosecutor?s office said no arrests had been made.
Following his retirement from boxing Estrada fell on hard times and ran into trouble with the law and landed prison on a drug charge in 2005.
At the time of his death Estrada was earning a living as a garbage collector.
