MIKE "The Bounty" HUNTER

   Heavyweight Mike "The Bounty" Hunter was known for his unorthodox but most effective boxing style.  He started out his pro career on Dec. 14, 1985 with a 4 round Decision over Warren Thompson.  He then built a record of 13-2-2, 5 ko's before stepping up to face former Light-Heavyweight, and Cruiserweight World Champion Dwight Muhammad Qawi for his WBC Continental Americas Cruiserweight Title.  Hunter was amazing as he took the victory and his first title belt back home with him.

   From there, the level of competition remained high throughout most of his career.  He scored big wins over Pinklon Thomas, Jimmy Thunder, and Ossie Ocasio before losing a very tight majority decision to undefeated Frans Botha in El Paso, Texas.

   He bounced back from the close decision loss very well as he stepped in on short notice and defeated former Olympic Gold Medalist Tyrell Biggs to win the vacant USBA Heavyweight Title via unanimous decision by wide margins.  He defended that title against Alexander Zolkin (15-1, 8 ko), and Buster Mathis Jr. (12-0).  The win over Mathis was later changed to a "No Contest" after illegal substance was detected.

   Mike finished his career going 4-4 in his last 8 bouts, including his final bout on May 31, 1996 as he challenged IBO World Heavyweight Champion - Brian Nielsen in Denmark for his title.  Hunter was stopped by tko in round 5.

   Hunter finished his pro career with a final record of 26-7-2, 8 by ko.  Not a big knockout puncher, but a slick and tricky boxing style that gave his world class opponents fits.

ALEX RAMOS

Nickname: "The Bronx Bomber"

   New York's Alex Ramos won multiple amateur championships including The National AAU title in 1979 and four NY Golden Gloves titles, he held a record of 143-15 before turning professional on Nov. 8, 1980 where he stopped Steve Arvin (12-3, 9 ko) in round 5 of a bout scheduled for 6 rounds.

   Ramos was considered a potential world champion from the start, and quickly ran off a string of 11 victories before being matched against world rated Norberto Sabater (20-1, 8 ko) in a 10 round middleweight bout at the Sands Hotel & Resort in Atlantic City, NJ that was aired on NBC Sports.  Ramos won handily on scores of 6-3-1, 6-3-1, and 8-2 in rounds to pick up the unanimous decision victory and remain unbeaten.

   3 fights later Alex tasted defeat for the first time as a professional against unheralded Ted Sanders (8-15-4, 3 ko's) where he was knocked out in round 8.  In his next fight, he was put in pretty tough against Tony Cerda (14-2-2, 8 ko) and was held to a draw after 10 rounds.  It was a rough spot in the fast moving track that Ramos management team had planned for him.

   His ability and heart were not in question, and he was put in very tough in his next two bouts against Mark Frazie (21-1, 12 ko), and undefeated J.B. Williamson (13-0, 5 ko).  Ramos passed both tests winning both via clear 10 round unanimous decision victories.  He then stopped highly respected James Waire in the 10th round, but tasted his 2nd defeat at the hands of world ranked contender Murray Sutherland (39-10-1, 33 ko) in a wild bout that saw the referee deduct 3 rounds from Ramos for low blows, and even though he floored Sutherland in the 4th round, the decision was unanimous in favor of Sutherland.

   After two impressive victories, and good showings against top competition "The Bronx Bomber" was back and got his first shot at a title belt.  April 25, 1984 he got a shot at defending USBA Middleweight Champion ferocious knockout artist Curtis Parker (25-5, 20 ko).  It was a war as expected, but when the final bell sounded Alex Ramos had become the new USBA Middleweight king on scores of  116-113, 116-112, and 117-112.

   The World class competition continued as he faced world ranked John Collins (31-1, 27 ko) in his next fight.  It was a non-title bout, and ended in a Draw after 10 rounds.  Next up was a title defense against undefeated and world ranked contender James "The Heat" Kinchen (33-0-2, 26 ko) in a bout from Caesars Tahoe that was televised on NBC network.  It was a close bout until the 9th round when Referee Joey Curtis waived the bout off, and Kinchen picked up the win and the USBA Title via KO.

   Ramos continued to campaign and challenged unsuccessfully 3 times for the California State Middleweight title belt, including a loss to future world champion Michael Nunn.  Ramos continued to fight becoming a favorite at the Country Club in Reseda, CA.  He finished his career with a string of 9 consecutive victories on the "Midwest Circuit" which earned him his first World Title fight against defending champion Jorge Castro (94-4-2, 65 ko) in Argentina.  Ramos was stopped in round 2, and this was his final professional bout.

   Alex ended his storied professional career with a record of 39 wins, 10 defeats, 2 draws winning 24 by knockout.   Ramos founded the Retired Boxers Foundation.

JULIAN WHEELER

Nickname: "The Dealer"

   Julian Wheeler was an outstanding amateur boxer who represented the USA at the 1992 Olympic Games.  He did not bring home a medal and decided to turn professional on Oct. 12, 1993.  He opened with a 3rd round TKO over 24 fight veteran Darrell Jacobs.

   It took him about 18 months to build an 11-0 record and challenge for his first Title belt.  April 21, 1995 he stepped into the ring to fight for the vacant NABF Jr. Lightweight title against undefeated and world ranked Robert "Grandpa" Garcia (20-0, 16 ko).  Wheeler lost by a unanimous decision.

   Just 10 weeks later, he stepped back into the fire facing another undefeated world ranked opponent, this time it was Mexico's Mauro Lucero (19-0, 14 ko).  The fight which took place on the undercard of Johnny Tapia vs Arthur Johnson went the full 10 round distance, but it was Wheeler earning the decision victory.

   4 months later, he would travel to Inglewood, CA and face a man that would become a boxing legend - Juan Manuel Marquez (12-1, 9 ko).  Wheeler was tko'd with just seconds left to go in the 10th and final round.

  Julian traveled to Australia where he fought a pair of battles against world ranked contender November Ntshingila (28-4, 16 ko).  The first bout ended in a technical draw after only 1 round, but Ntshingila won the rematch via 10 round decision.

   It was Oct. 10, 1996 when Julian would get another title fight, challenging former World Champion Jorge "Maromero" Paez for the WBC Continental Americas Jr. Lightweight title.  Wheeler won a 12 round unanimous decision to take Paez's title.  Less than 3 months later, they rematched at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, CA and this time Paez took his title back by decision.

   December of 1998, Wheeler got his first shot at a World title belt against undefeated champion Victor McKinnis (14-0-1, 9 ko).  Julian boxed masterfully and won a lopsided 12 round unanimous decision to earn the IBC Jr. Welterweight World Title.  The scorecards read 119-109, and 118-110 x 2.  Two fights later, McKinnis  was given a rematch but Wheeler was even more dominant this time around, and won unanimously on scores of 120-108, and 119-109 x 2.

   Wheeler went on to face other world class conenders including:  Juan Lazcano, Jermaine Fields, Israel "Pito" Cardona, and Daniel Alicea.  With 4 close battles against top notch opposition in a row, and all 4 ending in decisions, Julian Wheeler was named as the challenger for unbeaten USBA Lightweight Champion Efren Hinojosa's (23-0, 16 ko) Title.  It was a back and forth battle, but when the scores were read, It was Julian Wheeler who became the new USBA Champion on scores of 118-111, 117-111, and 115-113.

   On October 25, 2002 Wheeler defended his USBA Lightweight Title against two time world title challenger Levander Johnson (31-3-2, 25 ko).  Wheeler dropped a 12 round majority decision with 1 judge seeing the bout even, but the other 2 judges giving the edge to Johnson.  This turned out to be Julian Wheeler's final professional boxing match.

   Julian Wheeler ended his pro career with a record of 22 wins, 7 defeats and 2 draws, winning 8 times by knockout.  It was an up and down career, but mostly up as he collected title belts along the way.

RANDY SHIELDS

   Randy Shields was one of the USA's top amateur stars of the early 1970's.  He went 88-3-1, winning 67 by knockout!  The 6 time California State Amateur Champion also has the honor of handing one of the few defeats to Sugar Ray Leonard in the amateur ranks.

   He turned professional on Jan. 17, 1974 with a 6 round unanimous decision victory over highly regarded Victor Abraham.  His first big test came in August of 1975 when he put his undefeated record (24-0, 14 ko's) on the line against world ranked contender Arturo "Turi" Pineda (25-5-1, 21 knockouts).  Shields boxed beautifully winning a unanimous 10 round decision at the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles.  He won the Los Angeles showdown on scores of 6-4, 8-2, and 9-0-1.  Shields had served notice to the boxing world that he was a serious threat to win a world title.

   2 fights later, Randy would taste defeat for the first time, at the hands of undefeated Vicente Mijares (7-0, 2 ko).  Shields was stopped on cuts and a rematch was ordered.  It was nearly 3 months later when Shields would get his shot at redemption, and this time it was an elimination match for a shot at the WBC World Title.  It was an all out war, but Mijares would again come out on top, this time via Unanimous Decision on scores of 6-4-2, 7-4-1, and 7-5 in rounds.

   Big wins over Ramiro Bolanos (51-10-2, 30 ko) and Ray Lampkin (34-5-1, 16 ko) would catapult Shields into his first shot at a major title belt.  It was Oct. 21, 1977 and Shields would have to travel to the Champs home town of Sacramento California where he would face NABF Welterweight Champion Pete Ranzany (35-1, 23 ko).  The bout ended in round 2 due to a clash of heads, and was recorded as a technical Draw.  The fight was just too promising to let things end this way, so a rematch took place just 3 months later at the same venue.  This time the champion - Ranzany stopped Shields at 1:54 of the 11th bloody and bruising round.

   Shields performance cemented his place as a ranked contender, and he faced mostly world class opposition after the battles with Ranzany.  He went 2-2 in his next four bouts, with the two losses coming to boxing legends Wilfred Benitez, and Sugar Ray Leonard.

   July 30, 1979 was the day Shields would finally get a crack at the World Title when he faced WBA Welterweight Champion Pipino Cuevas in Chicago.  It was a wild affair that went the entire 15 round distance.  Cuevas kept his World Title belt with a controversial unanimous decision on scores of 72-71, 72-71, and 73-67.

   Shields scored two more victories after the loss against Cuevas, and was rewarded with another chance at the NABF Welterweight title that had eluded him in his 2nd bout against Pete Ranzany.  This time it was for the Vacant Title, and Shields would overwhelm his opponent Jose Figueroa, completely outclassing him and stopping him via technical knockout in round 3.

   Randy Shields now held the NABF Title belt, and after scoring a big win over Luis Mateo (9-1, 6 ko) was given an easy tune-up where he scored a 4th round knockout over Ray Comayagua, and then was given one more shot at the world championship.  This time he would face legendary world champion Thomas Hearns (30-0, 28 by knockout).  The fight took place April 25th or 1981 in Phoenix, AZ.  Shields was all heart but just could not find an antidote to the punishing jab, and overwhelming firepower of "The Hitman" Hearns.  The bout, scheduled for 15 rounds, was stopped at the end of the 12th round with Hearns way ahead on all 3 of the judges scorecards.

   Shields would not fight for another title, but did face world champions Milton "Ice Man" McCrory, and Johnny "Bump City" Bumphus in non-title bouts.

   Randy fought his last pro bout on Sept. 25, 1990 at the Country Club in Reseda, CA.  going out on a winning note with a 10 round decision victory over Stewart Baynes.

   It was a long and successful campaign for Shields who proved himself a worthy and world class contender.  If you weren't a world class championship level fighter, you had no chance against him.  He became a favorite among Southern California boxing fans, and when it was all said and done, he finished his career with a record of 41-9-1, 21 ko's.

FRANKIE ARCHULETA

    New Mexico's Frankie Archuleta was a shining star in the amateur ranks, especially in New Mexico where boxing fans were anxiously waiting for him to turn professional.

 
   He turned Pro on Feb. 15, 1997 and started things off with a first round knockout over Pablo Ontiveros.  After running off a string of victories and going to 10-0, 7 by knockout, Frankie challenged heavy handed defending champion Juan Manuel Arellano (15-6, 13 ko) for the WBB Featherweight Title.  It was Archuleta's night as he pitched a near shutout on scores of 119-109, 119-110, and 120-110 to win his first Title.

  

   Two wins later, he made a move up in weight and took his 13-0, 8 ko record into another title challenge against Oscar Salas for the vacant WBB Jr. Lightweight Title.  In front of a packed Wilson Events Center in his home town of Las Vegas, New Mexico, Archuleta scored an impressive 4th round knockout to win his second title belt.

   After a complete shutout victory over 10 rounds against 95 fight veteran Javier "Suzuki" Diaz, Frankie challenged NABF Featherweight Champion Lewis Wood (20-1, 6 ko).  When the smoke cleared after 12 tough and tactical rounds of boxing, The judges declared a 3 way split on scores of 115-112 (Archuleta), 115-112 (Wood), and 114-114.  Frankie remained unbeaten, but Lewis Wood left Las Vegas, NM with the NABF title belt around his waist.

   A pair of victories over rugged Mexican contender Ivan Salazar, and a convincing win over rugged Marco "El Rojo" Badillo, landed Frankie (18-0-1, 11 ko) in a huge bout at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada against former WBC, WBO and WBU Featherweight World Champion Kevin Kelley (50-4-2, 33 ko).  Archuleta suffered his first defeat that night, being stopped by the multi-time World Champion in the 9th round.

   Frankie bounced back with 2 impressive wins, a 1 round ko over Russell Mosley, and then an 8 round unanimous decision vicotry over former WBC Continental Americas Champion Osvaldo Guerrero.  Archuleta then traveled to the Fernwood Resort in Bushkill, PA to face undefeated Champion Emmanuel Lucero (19-0, 12 ko) for his WBC Continental Americas Jr. Featherweight Title.  He came up short dropping a 12 round unanimous decision to the Champion.  Meanwhile, Osvaldo Guerrero was clamoring for a rematch against Archuleta, and got his wish, this time for the vacant NABA Jr. Featherweight Title.  The old saying "Be careful what you wish for" was never more true than June 21, 2002 as Frankie Archuleta stopped Guerrero in 3 rounds to pick up another title belt.

   From here the level of competition stepped up big time, and Frankie found his self across the ring from some great contenders and world champions including...  Alejandro Barrera, Rocky Juarez, Johnny Tapia (Splitting a pair of decisions against the legendary champion), Martin Honorio (for the vacant IBA Jr. Lightweight World Title), John Molina, and Juan Carlos Burgos.

   Frankie fought his last pro bout on May 12, 2012, nearly 15 years after turning professional.  He faced undefeated former WBF Featherweight Champion Patrick Hyland (25-0, 11 ko's) being stopped in round 4.

   Frankie Archuleta finished his professional boxing campaign with an overall record of 27-10-1, 14 by knockout.  He made a huge mark on the New Mexico pro boxing scene, and delighted local crowds with some big victories.  Click here to see: Frankie Archuleta's entire Pro ledger.

MAX GOMEZ

   Colorado's Max Gomez was a regional star in the amateurs who many felt would be a "can't miss" as a Pro.

 Gomez turned professional on March 7, 1989 at Bally's in Las Vegas, Nevada, opening his career with a 3rd round technical knockout over Phoenix, Arizona's Jesse Ortiz.

   He won his next fight, and then tasted his first defeat against unbeaten former Puerto Rican amateur standout - Luis Rolon (4-0, 3 ko) on the undercard of Julio Cesar Chavez/Meldrick Taylor #1 at the Las Vegas Hilton.  Gomez dropped a very close majority decision to Rolon in 4 rds.

   He was considered a worthy prospect, and this was cemented when he travled up to Detroit, Michigan and handed unbeaten Kronk Gym star Theotrice Chambers (5-0, 5 ko) his first defeat by unanimous decision.  3 fights later, Gomez would find his self in the ring facing former Olympic Gold medalist, and undefeated world ranked contender (and future World Champion) Kennedy "The King" McKinney (18-0-1, 12 ko), it was another hard fought battle, with Gomez getting the short end of the stick in an 8 round split decision loss.  This showing just raised his stock and he got his first shot at a title belt, facing Rudy Zavala for the USBA Jr. Featherweight Title at the Forum in Inglewood, CA.  That battle ended in a 12 round 3 way split Draw.

   In later bouts, Gomez challenged for the USBA, NABF, and NABO Jr. Featherweight Titles and lost via decisions all 3 times.  March 16, 1996 - 7 years after his professional debut, Max got a shot at the vacant WBU Jr. Featherweight Title.  This was his night, as he defeated Anton Gilmore (19-1-2, 5 ko) to win his first Title Belt.  He lost the title to Frankie Toledo in his first defense, it was a very close decision loss that ended in scores of 115-113 by all 3 judges.  Two fights later, he defeated Felipe Garcia (13-16-1, 8 ko) to pick up the IBC Jr. Featherweight World Title.

   In his next fight, he went after the IBA Featherweight title, dropping another hard fought split decision to "Diamond" David Santos (28-1, 19 ko) in Albuquerque, NM.  He continued his campaign, squaring off against pretty high level competiion and picking up the WBC Fecarbox Jr. Lightweight Title along the way.  

   Max fought his last professional fight on May 11, 2002 with a solid 8 round unanimous decision victory over Colorado rival Heriberto Velazquez in Colorado Springs, CO.

   Max Gomez finished his 13 year professional career with a final record of: 25-13-1, winning 13 by knockout.  Click here to see Max Gomez's complete pro ledger

GLENWOOD BROWN

Nickname: "The Real Beast"

   After winning the 1986 139 Lb. Open championship in the NY Golden Gloves, Glenwood Brown was the pride of Plainsfield, NJ and began his Pro boxing career with a 4th round TKO over Robert Harris at the Felt Forum in NY.

   Brown campaigned mostly on the East Coast and built a record of 18-0, 14 ko's before facing former WBC World Champion Saoul Mamby on June 27, 1988.  It was Mamby getting the split decision victory over 10 rounds on that night and handing Glenwood Brown his first pro defeat.  Brown was not happy about the decision and demanded a rematch, he got it on Feb. 9, 1989 - this time for the New York State Welterweight Title Belt.  It was another close and technical scrap, but this time it was Glenwood Brown who won the decision, Unanimously, and picking up the New York State Championship.

   Almost 1 year later,  Brown found himself squaring off with Luis Santana (36-12-2, 28 ko's) for the vacant USBA Welterweight Title.  Brown stopped Santana in round 8 and was now the United States Boxing Association Welterweight Champion.

   Brown was now ranked in the top 10 and continued to win impressively.  Oct. 4, 1991 was the night he would get his first shot at a World Title.  He challenged Maurice Blocker (32-2, 18 ko) for the vacant IBF Welterweight Title.  Judge Rocky Castellani scored it 115-114 for Brown, but was overruled by judges John Stewart and Lynne Carter who both had it at 117-111 for Blocker.

   Brown's performance earned him enough respect that he was named as the challenger for Meldrick Taylor's WBA Welterweight World Title in his very next fight!  It was Jan 18, 1992 and was the main event of a card that also featured Pernell Whitaker against Harold Brazier, and Tony Baltazar against Rodney Moore.  It was another performance that didn't hurt his reputation, sending Taylor to the canvas TWICE.  But in the end, the judges awarded the decision to the former Olympic Gold Medalist on scores of 114-113, and 116-113 x 2.

   After back to back World Title Challenges,  Brown's level of competition stepped up facing Miguel Santana, Roque Montoya, Edwin Curet, and Larry Barnes all in a row.  He went 2-2 in that 4 fight stretch and lost his New York State Title to Larry Barnes (25-1, 11 ko's).

   On August 25, 1995 Glenwood would earn one last title shot, and he made the most of it scoring a unanimous decision over Rafael Williams to win the vacant IBO Middleweight Title.

   Glenwood never fought for another title, but faced some world class opponents in his final years in the ring, including Simon Brown, Dana Rosenblatt, Bronco McKart, and Vinny Pazienza.  He lost close, hard fought decisions to all 4.

   Brown's last pro bout was June of 2000, and after a 14 year professional boxing career he ended his career against world ranked contender Scott Pemberton (20-2-1, 16 ko's) being stopped in the 9th round.

   A fascinating career for a man who was well known and respected by east coast boxing fans, and always took world class opponents to their limit.

SAMSON PO'UHA

   Utah's Samson Po'uha was a well respected amateur who earned both the 1991 National Golden Gloves Title, and the 1992 AAU Title in the Super Heavyweight division.

   The Tongan KO artist turned pro on Nov. 25, 1992, with a first round knockout of Steve Cortez on the undercard of the Orlin Norris/David Sewell NABF Cruiserweight Title fight.  He then went on a tear stopping 12 straight opponents with only 3 of them making it past the 2nd round.

   His first loss came against IBO/WBF Heavyweight Title challenger Craig Payne.  Samson was stopped in the 6th round.  He then scored 3 more first round knockouts with respected Journeyman Martin Foster among those victims.

   He took his 15-1, 15 ko record into the big showdown fight televised on USA Netowork, against fellow hot prospect, undefeated Andrew Golota (23-0, 20 ko's).  It was a wild affair which included a desperately hurt Golota biting the neck of Po'uha to survive.  The tactic worked and earned Golota enough time to clear his head, and go on to stop Po'uha in round 5.  Golota would later admit that he was hurt, and had never been hit that hard in his life.

   Po'uha got back on track with 4 victories including a hotly contested split decision victory against former USBA Light Heavyweight Champion Frankie Swindell, and a 4th round tko of former NABF Heavyweight Champion "Smoking" Bert Cooper.  Po'uha would get a rematch with Frankie Swindell which ended in a draw.

  Even though he was world ranked, and a fan favorite, Samson was never given a title shot.  He fought his last fight nearly a decade after turning pro, on April 21 of 2002.  He lost a majority decision on scores of 91-99 & 93-97, with 1 judge seeing it even at 95-95 to World Ranked Sherman Williams (19-6-1, 13 ko).

ROCKY PEPELI

   After a long amateur career including Silver Gloves and Jr. Olympics titles in 1980 (at age 15), Iowa's Rocky Pepeli turned professional in 1987.  His first 8 pro bouts were decided in the 1st or 2nd rounds!  He opened with a first round KO over Lon Liebergen in Rocky's hometown of Davenport, Iowa.  After scoring another 1st round knockout in Anchorage, Alaska, Pepeli soon found his self as a regular on the boxing events staged at the Reseda Country Club in Reseda, California. 

   He quickly became a favorite of Southern California fight fans.  His fearless style, wins over Mike Gans and Bobby Quarry, and record of 16-4-1 with 15 by knockout landed him a big fight against world ranked contender and former NABF Cruiserweight Champion "Smoking" Bert Cooper (28-9, 24 ko's).  Cooper ended up stopping Pepeli in the 8th round.

   Rocky would go on to face even bigger names including Eric "The Whip" Curry, Jesse Ferguson, and former World Champion and Boxing Hall-of-Famer Larry Holmes.

   Pepeli got his only shot at a title belt on March 21, 1995 when he faced Russian World Ranked Contender - Alexander Zolkin (20-2, 14) for the vacant NABF Heavyweight Title.  It was a wild affair with Zolkin scoring the 3rd round TKO to take the title that had been vacated by Joe Hipp.

   Pepeli also faced James Buster Douglas losing a 10 round unanimous decision to the former World Heavyweight Champion.

   His final pro bout came on April 2, 1998 in Buffalo, NY.  Rocky was stopped in the first round by undefeated and world ranked Kirk Johnson (23-0, 17 ko's).

   After a professional boxing career that spanned 11 years, Rocky Pepeli ended with a final record of 19 wins, 11 losses, 1 Draw, winning 18 by Knockout.

RUDY LOVATO

Nickname: "Bad Boy"

   New Mexico's Rudy "Bad Boy" Lovato started out in the world of Kickboxing where he became a  multi-belt champion.  He turned to professional boxing on Feb. 15, 1986 when he scored a 4 round decision victory over fellow New Mexican Everett Berry in the Lightweight Division.  He then began his career as a "Road Warrior" taking fights in his opponents home towns. It was April 30, 1992 when he scored a spectacular first round knockout over California's Efrin Granillo televised on espn.
   Sept. 3, 1992 saw Lovato in one of New Mexico's memorable showdown fights as he faced unbeaten fellow Albuquerquean Steve Hindi (3-0).  Lovato rallied in the late rounds, but lost a decision that night.  He would continue to be boxing's "minuteman", ready to take on whoever called, wherever and whenever the call came in.

   June 14, 1997 saw Lovato in one of his greatest performances as he put on a masterful boxing display against Florida's Tommy Eaglin (15-3, 8 ko's) over 10 rounds.  It was a lopsided unanimous decision on scores of 98-94, 98-92, and 99-91.
   It was May 16, 1998 when Rudy finally got a chance to fight for a title belt.  He faced Santa Fe New Mexico's Chris Linson Jr. (13-1-1, 10 ko) at the Palo Solari ampitheatre in Santa Fe.  After 12 brutal rounds, Linson was awarded a 115-114, 115-114, 117-112 decision victory to claim the New Mexico State Jr. Welterweight Title.

Lovato's post fight interview after defeating Tommy Eaglin

   Rudy's next fight was another main event, this time he faced another New Mexico favorite in rising star Charles "Poison" Anaya (5-1-1, 3 ko).  It was a back and forth technical boxing match until someone in the audience threw a soft drink bottle into the ring that hit Lovato which prompted a stop to the bout.  In the interest of safety the bout and the event was halted, and the judges decision was announced in the newspapers the next day.  A Technical unanimous decision victory on scores of 79-73, 77-75 and 79-75 for Albuquerque's "Bad Boy" Rudy Lovato.
   He continued his campaign as boxing's "Road Warrior" fighting in Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Yuma, Boise, Tacoma, and other home towns of local favorites.
   It was August 12, 2000 that Lovato would get a 2nd shot at a Title Belt, this time it was for the WBC Fecarbox Jr. Middleweight Title.  He would face another unbeaten contender in Kingsley Ikeke (11-0, 6 ko).  One Judge had Lovato winning handily with a score of 119-107, but he was over ruled by the other two judges who gave the fight to Ikeke on close scores of 116-114, and 116-113.  Ikeke would go on to add the NABO, NABF and NABA Middleweight Titles to his collection as well as fight for the IBF Middleweight World Championship against Arthur Abraham in Germany.
   Two fights later, Rudy Lovato got his 3rd shot at a Title Belt, and this time he would have to travel to Tacoma, Washington and face local favorite Shelby Pudwill (13-1-1, 7 ko's) for the C.A.M. (Canadien American Mexican) Jr. Middleweight title.  On this night, Rudy would not be denied, and scored a close but unanimous decision win to take the belt home with him.   Lovato continued on,  fighting all over the United States, often on short notice.  Washington, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Illinois were some of the states that saw Lovato take on World Champions and World Ranked Contenders including: Greg Haugen, Cleveland Corder, Juan Baldwin, Tom Lowry, Emmet Linton, Danny Perez, Yori Boy Campas, Miguel Angel Ruiz, Mark Suarez, and Diobelys Hurtado.  Rudy's final victory came August 13, 2005 in Lewiston, Idaho as he defeated Donnie Fosmire via 12th round knockout to win the WBC Fecarbox International Welterweight Title.
   After a professional boxing career that lasted over 21 years, Rudy stepped into the squared circle for the final time on Nov. 10, 2007 at the Sky Ute Casino in Ignacio, Colorado, where he was stopped by Joe Gomez (12-1-1, 6 ko) in the 7th round.
   Rudy Lovato ended his years of boxing with an overall record of 21-40-4, 7 ko's.  He was a fighter who didn't worry about picking his opponents, and never had the promoter's edge to bring him hand picked opponents to pad his record. He was involved in some wild events.  He just said "Yes" to any call that came in and took the fight!

SKIPPER KELP

Nickname: "Saigon"

   Colorado's Skipper Kelp was a celebrated amateur boxer who used his power punching style to become one of the USA's top prospects. 

   He turned professional on Dec. 20, 1990 with a powerful KO win over 7 fight pro Sergio Medina.  From there he quickly built his record to 15-0-1 with 11 by knockout, incluidng a first round stoppage of undefeated Maurice Brantley (12-0).

   Kelp tasted his first defeat dropping a 10 round decision on Sept. 29, 1992 to world ranked contender David Gonzalez (29-2-1, 20 ko). 3 years later, Gonzalez would go on to challenge Terry Norris for the WBC Jr. Middleweight Title.

   It was 4 years later - March 5, 1996, that Kelp would get his first shot at a major title belt when he stepped in to face undefeated future World Champion Raul "El Diamante" Marquez for the vacant USBA Jr. Middleweight Title in Norfolk, Virginia.  It was Marquez winning the hard fought but unanimous decision over Kelp that night.

   Just 2 months later, Kelp scored a big win over future IBO Jr. Middleweight World Champion - Adrian"The Predator" Stone (17-1-1, 12 ko) on scores of 96-91, 95-92, and 96-90.

   The victory over Stone launched him into his 2nd and final title challenge, this time against Tony Martin (32-5-1, 12 ko) for the USBA Welterweight Championship.  This time it was Tony Martin coming out on top with a clear unanimous decision victory to retain his title belt.

   Skipper Kelp fought just once more on March 20, 1998 at the Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV where he ended his pro boxing career with a convincing unanimous decision win over Mexico's Javier Mendez. 

   Skipper Kelp was never given the opportunity to challenge for a world title, but his heart, power, and crowd pleasing style made him a favorite with boxing fans around the world.  He ended his pro boxing career with an impressive mark of: 24 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw, and 15 wins by Knockout.

BOBBY BREWER

   Denver, Colorado's Bobby Brewer Jr. turned pro August 27, 1988 with a 2nd round knockout over Joel Acosta.  He quickly ran his record to 7-0 with 5 wins by ko.  He was then stepped up to face some high caliber opposition, losing his next 3 bouts on the road to Donald Stokes, U.S. Olympian Kelcie Banks, and future World Champion Sharmba Mitchell.  Those 3 had a combined record of 24-1 when Brewer went in to their hometowns to face them.

  Brewer scores upset over unbeaten Russian - Sergei Artemiev

 
   Brewer bounced back nicely with 3 more victories when he got the call to face undefeated Russian Sergei Artemiev in a bout that was televised on USA Network.  Brewer scored an impressive upset by unanimous decision.  He then defeated world ranked contender Tommy Cordova scoring another unanimous decision victory.  Those two upset victories propelled him into a bout against undefeated and future world champion Miguel Angel Gonzalez (13-0, 11 ko's) on the undercard of the Johnny Tapia/Santiago Caballero USBA Title fight.  Brewer was stopped in 3 rounds.

   December 1, 1994 Brewer would get his only shot at a title belt.  It was for the Colorado State Lightweight Title against Tito Tovar.  Brewer was stopped in the 7th round of that bout.

   Brewer faced some top notch competition during his career.  World Champions and ranked contenders including:  Juan Negron, Levander Johnson, Eugene Speed, Miguel Angel Gonzalez, Sharmba Mitchell, Roberto Garcia and Kelcie Banks.

   Bobby's final pro bout came on Feb. 9, 2001 when he was disqualified in round 5 against Mexico's Julian Romero.

   Brewer finished his professional career with a record of 16-21, 9 KO.

HENRY ANAYA JR.

Nickname: Riley

   New Mexico Welterweight Henry Anaya Jr. turned pro on Feb. 7, 1987 scoring a 1st round knockout over fellow New Mexican Roland "Thunder" Baker.  Henry started with 7 straight victories before tasting his first professional defeat by decision at the hands of Joe Hernandez on the undercard of Thomas Hearns vs Iran Barkley at the Las Vegas Hilton.

   Just 2 months later, Anaya avenged the decision loss with a blistering 2nd round stoppage of Hernandez.

   He then went on another victory streak, this time going 9-0, with 6 by ko.  He earned a shot at the vacant

NABF Welterweight Title, taking his record of 16-1, 10 ko's into the ring on August 20, 1990 against former World Champion "Lightning" Lonnie Smith (25-2-1, 12 ko).

   The former World Champ stopped Anaya at the end of the 10th round.  Henry fought 3 more times with his final pro bout coming June 10, 1991 against amateur boxing legend, and former World Champion Mark Breland (28-2-1, 21 ko).  Breland won a unanimous decision in the bout.

   What most boxing fans did not know is that Anaya suffered a terrible hand injury that pretty much made him a "1 handed" boxer for his final bouts.



   Henry Anaya finished his pro boxing career with a record of 17-4, 11 by knockout.  He's considered one of the finest boxers to ever come out of New Mexico.  And is a legend in the State.
