Promotional issues kept Puga Jr. out of the ring for the next year and injuries led to a slow 2015, but Puga Jr. scored a a fourth round technical knockout win over of Katrell Straus on Апрел 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on Ноябр 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, Калифорния.

He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships.
