On June 26, 2011 Roberto upset undefeated Antonio Lozada, Jr. to win the WBC Silver light welterweight title. He kept the title until September 6, 2014, when he lost for the first time in his professional career against Argentinian pugilist Lucas Matthysse. The fight was staged in the U.S. Bank Arena of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Mexican was knockout in the second round.[2]
