Daniel Jiménez Román (born November 21, 1969) is a Puerto Rican former professional boxer who competed from 1988 to 2002. He is a world champion in two weight classes, having held the WBO junior featherweight title from 1993 to 1995 and the WBO bantamweight title from 1995 to 1996.

Professional career

[edit]

Jimenez, known as "La Cobra", turned pro in 1988, losing his first fight to Wilfredo Vargas. In 1993, he captured the WBO super bantamweight title with a win over Duke McKenzie. He later defended it four times before losing it to Marco Antonio Barrera in 1995. He moved down in weight after the loss and defeated WBO bantamweight title holder Alfred Kotey by decision. He defended the belt once before losing it to Robbie Regan the following year. He retired in 2002 after several losses late in his career.

On September 3, 1994, Daniel Jiménez established a world record for the quickest knockout in a championship fight, defeating Harald Geier in 17 seconds.
