==Career== At the PanAm Games 2007 the tall Julio ran into dominant Osmay Acosta early and lost 2:10. At the World Championships 2007 he suffered the ultimate humiliation when he was blitzed in a mere 15 seconds of round 1 by Elchin Alizade.
At the first Olympic qualifier he was edged out by Deontay Wilder 5:6 but when Wilder and Acosta both qualified the 26-year-old seized the opportunity at the second qualifier to defeat Alcivar Ayovi, Alexander Vellon and Hamilton Ventura to win the tournament. He lost his Olympic bout to John M'Bumba 5:11.
He won a silver medal in the heavyweight class at the 2015 Pan American Games.
