Aaron Torres (born October 26, 1978) is a professional boxer.
Before he turned pro, Torres won the 1998 Golden Gloves in his weight class. Torres won the bronze medal at the 1999 Pan American Games. As a pro, he mainly boxed against weak opposition, not facing anyone with more wins than losses in his first 15 matches. When he finally "stepped up," facing the 17-4-1 Louis Santiago, he lost in the 9th of 12 rounds. He attempted a comeback on the reality show, Contender Season 2, where he lost to Gary Balletto
Torres next went on to fight another Contender contestant in Freddy Curiel. Torres took the fight with only five days notice, but still put up a strong perfomance. The fight seemed to go Torres's way until a point was deducted by the referee for holding which caused Torres to lose a match that was his.
