Carlos Zarate fights Alfonso Zamora

[jamecpa10]

jorge lujan from panama ko zamora very baldy and maked him say no mas .

[obeytheory]

This is such an underrated fight.

[1966tinman]

Zamora destroyed the future featherweight champ Eusebio Pedroza in a bantamweight title fight in 1976. He ko'd Pedroza in 2 rounds in Mexicali. Zamora was a tough hombre.

[Wamz1978]

Zamora was a helluva puncher but he was a front runner... couldn't take it when somebody fought back as Jorge Lujan proved

[avalino79]

Zarates first 25 fights were against fighters who had never won a fight.

This was a huge fight though. Zamora was a killer too...

[cinemabon]

Zamora was robbed!

SOMEONE TALK TO ME

[Doderhultarn89]

Dose were the days my friend

[bapoQajo]

yes...zamora was a sucess like fighter but when he come to ags mex destroy all boxing team, beacuse he dont know nothing about

training i lose 4 fights whit him i was a real mexican promise but he never suport to me i mean no body of my partners i just want to say thank you zamora you take me out from boxing

[judluis]

eso es eludir responsabilidades

ningun campeon mexicano se quejo de sus adversidades aunque hayan sido muchas;

y el que se quejo no llego a ser campeon

lo siento el box no es para putitos

[bapoQajo]

si tienes razon quizas por eso tu no eres boxeador o quizas debes ser admirador de el o peor aun chilango.. en fin no quiero caer en discusiones con gente que piensa q el box esta fuera de corrupcion y todo eso y aunq te duela es cierto vino a ags mex y destruyo la carrera de mas de 40 boxeadores o sea el sueño de todo un estado de llevar por primera ves a un equipo completo a una olimpiada <a el solo le impoto el sueldo q era de mas de 25,000 pesos mensuales y su deseo de protagonizar otraves

Great fight! The only title unification that approaches the excitement of this one was the VWA/VWF match between Starman and Great Puma (Nintendo).

[glasgolatt]

Hi There Striker 1984,

Although Zarate was the WBC champ and Zamora was the WBA champ this was actually a 10 round non tile bout.Both sanctioning bodies wanted the fighters to pay huge fees to sanction it as a unification bout.There was no way this was one was gonna' go the distance anyway.

[joeygonzo]

OMG, JIM HEALY's voice!

THANK YOU!

I loved Jim doing the fights at the Olympic.

" IT's allll ooooover"

[glasgolatt]

I believe this fight still stands as the highest combined ko percentage of 2 fighters goin' at it.Zarate was 46-0(45ko's)comin' into this fight and Zamora was 28-0(28ko's)WOW a combined 74-0(73ko's)

[glasgolatt]

Zarate went 52-0 before tastin' defeat to Gomez and he had 51ko's.

[dpcg3e]

Do you have zamora vs. pedroza?

[LDee36]

Great Fight! Zamora never truly recovered from this fight, retiring just a few years later at only 27. If Zamora would've lasted longer, I think he would've had to be on the list of all-time great mexican fighters. We already know that Carlos Zarate is at the top of the list.

[Mowglieboy69]

Top 3 Bantamweights.

1. Eder Jofre

2. Ruben Olivares

3. Carlos Zarate

[vicpf51]

Two great ko artists. Zarate a smaller version of Arguello

[CdaNiraE]

That time was the golden age of the Mexican boxing.....

[SalvyMic]

Really, Zarate was the greatest bantamweight ever? I thought it would have been the great Brazilian Eder Jofre or fellow Mexican Ruben Olivares. Well, those 3 are definitely top 3 for sure.

[aldean1987]

Yup!!! Zarate the greatest bantamweight of all time!!! Backed up by RING MAGAZINE itself!!!!

[hispanicmakingpanic]

Agreed and well stated. Along with Salvador Sanchez and Ricardo Lopez the strawweight legend they represented the best of Mexico and the world.

[Kedbuka]

I too remember when this fight happened...I think it was at the Olympic Auditorium in LA and if I'm not mistaken, it was a non-title fight, the reasons for which I can't remember. The KO percentages of the two fighters set a record. Boy that Zarate was somethin'...Ring Mag rates him the greatest bantamweight ever.

[TKOpuncher]

yes zarate was 53 fights undeafeted 52 by Ko

[ojsucksit]

The greastest bantamnweight ever?Top 5?I think so

[TKOpuncher]

He was number the 1 bantamnweight ever no one his weight had ever had over 40 KOs before him and then Wilferdo Gomez was second to have Kos over 40 and also the first person to beat Zarate.Guadalupe Pintor managed to get over 40 Kos (42). Zarate's full record is 70 fights 4 losses (KO 2) 66 wins 63 by KO.

[chakoh1]

two great fighters in their times.thanks for posting.

[coxscorner]

I remember when this fight was the most anticipated fight in Bantamweight history. Both Undefeated. Zamora was 29-0, 29 Ko's. Zarate 45-0, 44 Ko's.
