Justo Suárez (January 5, 1909 – August 10, 1938), nicknamed "El Torito de Mataderos" ("The Little Bull of Mataderos)", was a popular Argentine light weight boxer. His huge popularity was widely greater than his professional achievements as a fighter.
Suárez is regarded as the first idol (and one of the greatest) in the history of Argentine boxing.
