Carlos Cuadras<\/a> had aspirations of winning one more world title<\/a> before calling it a day.
However, the former WBC junior bantamweight champion saw those hopes extinguished by rising force Tomoya Tsuboi, who stopped him in eight rounds<\/a> as part of the Takuma Inoue-Tenshin Nasukawa undercard on Monday at the Toyota Arena, Tokyo.
“I thought at the beginning I could win the fight, but as the rounds went on, I realized he was too fast and even though I used my experience, couldn’t do any damage,” Cuadras told The Ring<\/a>. <\/p>\n

That led the 37-year-old to make a big decision with regards to his boxing career.<\/p>\n

“I decided to retire because new talent is coming up, younger and more talented people,” he continued. “I’m not in my prime anymore, not as strong as I used to be, and don’t want to just be a stepping stone for anyone or fight for any price.”<\/p>\n

Cuadras (44-6-1, 28 KOs) held the WBC 115-pound title from 2014-16 and made six defenses, but holds a couple of things dear to his heart as the proudest moments from a distinguished career.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“In my career, the times I fought for a world title, like when I won [the world title against Srisaket Sor] Rungvisai.”<\/p>\n

The Mexican warrior, who overcame a drug problem in 2018, will enjoy a week in Tokyo alongside his wife and son before looking to the next chapter of his life.<\/p>\n

“I’m thinking about teaching what I know and helping people overcome addiction,” he said.<\/p>\n

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has fond memories of Cuadras over the years. <\/p>\n

“Carlos was a very solid world champion, faced the best of an era at junior bantamweight. He fought [Roman] ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez very hard and almost beat him, Estrada, beat Rungvisai, Pedro Guevara and we’ll always remember him as kind and humble.” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“He defeated the most dangerous opponent – addiction – he’s clean, happy and goes as a WBC champion forever and will have a very happy life; has a loving, beautiful family. He was supported by Mr. Honda at Teiken Promotions and made a great career.”<\/p>\n
