.

Regarding his nickname, Fernando has explained that one of his father's sister could not pronounce his father's name, Manuel de Jesus, when she was of younger age, so she called her brother "Cochul". The nickname was later on passed to Fernando in diminutive form, since "Cochulito" roughly translates into "Little Cochul". The nickname has no relation to a rooster, as many have argued.

Boxing style

Fernando Montiel is a hybrid boxer, using accurate punches to slow down his opponent and using swift hand speed and quickness to frustrate his opponents. Montiel's fighting style employs the use of his agility and quick reflexes. He uses accurate punches and crisp 1–2–3 combos to get under the defenses of his opponents. He is also considered to be a "thinking fighter", using his natural boxing instincts, warrior's mentality, and technical boxing supremacy in taking apart his opponents.
