But with the advantage of historical perspective, it seems a little more than the appetite of what is going to come now. In the second part of this series on boxing history in Mexico, we will look at some militants and events that founded the country’s unpredictable golden age, as well as the modern myths surrounding the game in this country.

The second golden age of Mexican boxing

The second golden age of Mexican Boxing was extended from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. The latest renowned era of Mexican Boxing had its first significant difference: although the nation has once again boasted the classification of world class fighters, those militants are now competing exclusively in the United States.

Such a person is Ruben’s “El Piece” Oliverez. Four times in Mexico, a two -weight world champion beloved, his aggressive and entertainment fighting style and the terrible personality he presented outside the ring, in particular, was equally popular in the most profitable market north of the olivers, where he fought the most important bots in his career life.

Nevertheless, Mexico gained greater importance in sports worldwide, which was the 1968 World Boxing Council (WBC). Early established in a 1963 conference in Mexico, the organization was resurrected to challenge the American Center of the World Boxing Society-the US Boxing Society-to protect the Mexican boxers from the United States to grow up in the United States. WBC was founded by representatives of Europe, Latin America and Asia and revealed a company change in the international regulation of boxing.

Jose “Mandexvilla” is more than a more international element of Mexican boxing than the Nebols. Born and raised in Cuba, Nebolls Cuba Prime Minister Fidel Castro left his house for Mexico in 1962 after banning professional boxing. In 17 years of age, he held a World Championships twice, while proud and publicly accepting the Mexican culture has won the love of the nation.

Significantly, Oliverez and Nabols include the onset of an era, in which Mexico demanded many world champions simultaneously. With simultaneous improvements in satellite technology that helped to broadcast foreign competitions at home, this game has raised the popularity of boxing to the new heights, leading to the adoption of big symbols.

Of those symbols, one is undoubtedly immortal; Salvadar Sanchez earned a professional record 44-1-1, which hosted the WBC Febaid Championship from February 1980 to August 1982. Sadly, Sanchez did not abandon his title in the ring, but after three weeks after a car accident lost life in a car accident Next Hall-off-Famer will defeat Nelson.

At the age of 23, Sanchez has already been offering a long -term employment than the majority of boxers, and has received the unwavering love of fans around the world. At the moment he died, he entered his main, already world champion, and considered one of the fighters with pound-bown-over in the game. In 1991 he was added to the International Boxing Hall of Fame. As a line of his autobiography on the Hall of Fame website, “Boxing world will always be amazing: what if?”

When Sanchez entered the legend by his premature hiding, one of his contemporary people made his reputation with a long life. Today, Julio Caesar Chavez is a very iconic and loved fighter in the history of Mexico. Three days after Sanchez demanded the World Fedarwaite crown, the three -section world champion made his professional debut because he started a career that lasts 25 years and takes him to the highest point of the game.

Known by relentless assault pressure, violent body piercings and one of the best cheeks in the history of the game, Chavez failed with its top 90 fights, gained 89 wins and a draw. Six times a world champion, he retired with 107 professional victories. Sinco de Mayo and Mexican Independence Day in the global boxing calendar created “El Caesar”, and his 1993 title security in Mexico City’s Estadio Osteka has set a world record for the Ticket Boxing Tournament.

The Barera-Morales Muthakuppu was a standard four before the fights between Vasuke and Rafael Margas-a significant series of the 2007 and 2008 Ring Magazine Fighting Awards. The latter phases of the four militants’ lives were almost uninterrupted in the ascending of Saul “Kanelo” Alvarez.
