J'Leon Love (born September 25, 1987) is an American professional boxer in the Super Middleweight division.After his father turned him onto boxing, Love had an amateur career record of 115-5. His opponents have included Shawn Porter, Dennis Douglin.On January 29, 2010, Love made his professional debut by knocking out Vince Burkhalter in the first round of a four-round middleweight bout. Love knocked Burkhalter down twice before the referee reached the count of 10 at 1:33.On September 8, 2012, Love fought Ramon Valenzuela in the opening bout of Showtime Championship Boxing. Love won by disqualification in the eighth round.On May 4, 2013, Love fought Gabriel Rosado on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero. Prior to the fight, Love came two hours late to the weigh-in, and at the weigh-in he was 1.5 lbs over the weight limit. He took an extra hour to make the weight and was fined $100 as a result. The fight was very close, and although Love won by split decision, the majority of viewers thought that Rosado actually won the fight. The judges' score cards read 95-94 97-92 for Love and 95-94 for Rosado.After the fight, Love tested positive for hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic used by athletes to cut weight. The drug is banned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Because of the failed drug test, the decision was overturned from a split decision win for Love to a no contest.
