Normally you say a top-notch athlete is a mirror image of someone else, but Diego Barron is one of a kind.

His father, Porfirio says “he loves the sport. He loves it. A lot of it has to do with him. It’s all him.”
There’s only one person who steps inside that ring and the Mesquite High School freshman has proven to his classmates that looks can be deceiving.

Diego admits “They don’t think I box. Most people don’t think I box.” His opponents certainly know different.
