Zamora, one of the hardest pure punchers of all times, decimates future longtime Featherweight champion Pedroza. For more rare footage, contact ragingbull_22@hotmail.com
I felt the same way. Pedroza was fortunate not to have faced either the late Salvador Sanchez or the brilliant Azumah Nelson while champion, and how he escaped being disqualified after repeatedly fouling Juan LaPorte in 1982 is beyond me.
I saw that fight on CBS and it was a national tragedy and a disgrace and I never thought that Pedroza would stoop to a level like that, and he still won the fight because the the WBA was in his Hip Pocket
Alphonso Zamora streched Eusebio, I remember this fight like it was yesterday. At that time he and Carlos Zarate were the hardest punching little guys in the world. The here comes Wilfredo Gomez. He and Zarate went to war, but I had money on Gomez even though deep in my heart I knew Zarate was the better boxer. Punchers always have a chance and both of these fighters were knockout artist.Between Zarate and Zamora I think the compiled over 100 knockouts between them.

I remember watching this on TV from San Diego in 1976. I was fresh out of Navy boot camp. I knew about Zamora's solid amateur record but never heard of Pedroza -- but his unique name stuck with me. A few years later when Pedroza was in the middle of an impressive streak of featherweight wins I remembered this earlier bout. Pedroza looked amateurish here, head up and sticking his jaw higher when he backed away, pecking with that half-hearted "don't hit me" jab that just invited counters. He was very young and inexperienced in 1976. Zamora was feared for his left hook but against Pedroza it was repeated right hands that finally did the trick. Zamora got only a little better before Zarate settled the best bantamweight question. Meanwhile Pedroza revolutionized his style and ability. Impressive comeback from consecutive KO losses in 1976 to move up to his more natural division and dominate it for awhile. He could be a dirty fighter, somewhat reminiscent of Tito Trinidad, but he had great all around skills. He'd have given Sanchez a great matchup, although I'd have given Sanchez an edge over the distance. Too bad Salvador didn't live long enough to make that happen (and to get the cooperation of the sanctioning bodies, and get the mandatory defenses out of the way).
Si Zamora le dió en la madre a Eusebio En 2 rounds.y Carlos Zárate le ganó a Zamora .pero wuilfredo Gómez nockeo a Zarate imagínense que mega madriza le hubiera puesto SALVADOR Sánchez a su panameño Eusebio Pedroza.. después de haber masacrado Chava a Wilfredo Gómez.de la que se salvó el Pedroza la neta
@@Belburgquien fue juan Escobar solo un boxeador Calador del area de tijauna para los nuevos prospectos sanchez supero la prueba a su temprana edad y siguio adelante
Que tal nocaut. Zamora era un fulminante pegador en los gallos. Y ante Eusebio pedroza que más adelante fue campeón mundial pluma por algunos años. . México siempre fue potencia en boxeo
@@JoseAntonio-iq3cl con todo respeto Salvador Sánchez hubiera ganado pues aunque después de esta derrota Eusebio Pedrosa se bolbio muy sucio y marrullero Salvador Sánchez tenía muy buena defensa y tecnica y sabia cómo aplacar a los marrulleros recuerdo que Wilfredo gomez quiso usar sus marrullerías y de nada le sirvieron término recibiendo una tremenda palisa y Wilfredo gomez hera mucho mejor que Eusebio pedrosa
Zamora era un animal, que pegada. Yo me acuerdo de Pedroza. El vivía a unas cuadras de donde vivía yo en Panama. La cosa interesante es que después de esta pelea fue a Caracas y perdió por KO y luego inició sus 20 defensas, increíblemente. Este es un buen ejemplo de el por qué uno no se debe dar por vencido en esta vida.
Olivares, Zarate, Zamora, Pintor, German Torres. All carried their forearms vertical in their defense. All were pupils of the Arturo "Cuyo" Hernandez Academy.
muy buen peleador Zamora, yo siempre dijo eso....tebe la mala suerte de tener Zarate en tu camino..... Thanks Flea !! this was always one of my "wish I could see" fights.....
Pedroza no tenía buena quijada si hubiera peleado con el número uno el bombardero de Santiago Tianguistengo salvador Sanchez le hubiera dado otra golpiza
Zamora se ve muy pequeño junto a Pedroza, por eso se inventaron las divisiones intermedias, el salto de peso entre divisiones originales era muy grande, y habia peleadores en mucha desventaja contra otros peleadores que podia "sacrificarse" para dar el peso, pero eran naturalmente 8 o 10 libras mas pesados, nadie obligaba a los peleadores a subir con nadie, pero vean esa diferencia de alcance y altura de Zamora con Pedroza, si no es por la pegada descomunal del mexicano, quiza hubiera sido una noche muy larga (o corta) para Zamora
Así le aventaron uno de ese tamaño como el Pedroza a SALVADOR Sánchez se llamaba Patrick Ford y aún con esa estatura y largo alcance. CHAVA le arregló su asunto ganándole por decisión unánime... también le hubiera dado una chinga al panameño.. Sal Sánchez era de otro planeta y nunca esquivó a ningún contrincante que le pusieran enfrente.. QPD el legendario y queridísimo Campeón mundial de peso pluma
Es correcto Salvador Sánchez era un depredador astuto inteligente y muy letal..nunca tenía prisa por ganar.a como se le presentaran sus contrincantes.el ya los tenia en la mira y sabía por dónde atacarlos para terminar con el puño en al to
Edward Robinson Robinson Uhh, no sabía nada. Que gran boxeador fué, todavía recuerdo como le ganó a mi compatriota Juan Domingo Malvarez. Lo siento mucho.
Salvador Sanchez le hubiera dado una paliza a Pedrosa Pedrosa era muy cochino para pelear viva Sal Sánchez el mejor boxeador mexicano de todos los tiempos arreeeeee ❤️🇲🇽❤️🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Estimado amigo. Respeto mucho a Salvador Sánchez. Un verdadero campeón y todavía recuerdo el día que informaron que murió era yo muy joven y estaba en Panamá mi país de origen. Era uno de mis ídolos. con todo el respeto creo que una pelea con Pedroza hubiera sido de pronóstico reservado. El pedroza que se convirtió en campeón mundial pluma era muy diferente al que pelio con Zamora ...el que pelio con Zamora era muy indisciplinado además que tenía problemas para hacer las 118.... después de Zamora, pelio en Venezuela y le quebraron la mandíbula. En Panamá nadie daba nada por el...Pedroza cambio su estilo de entrenar y subió a los pesos plumas ... limpió esa categoría en Panamá que en ese tiempo era muy competitiva y se ganó su oportunidad.por el campeonato y lo ganó realizó 20.defensas. nunca jamás volvió a ser noquiado. Tenía una determinación y confianza en si mismo tremenda. En mi muy humilde opinión creo que la pelea con el gran Chava hubiera sido un peleón...y de pronóstico reservado. Los respeto a los 2 y que descansen en paz estos dos ídolos del boxeo.
Pedroza siempre fue un peleador sucio y marrullero..y Salvador tenía la fórmula para borrarlo del ring..es tu paisano Eusebio y lo defiendes pero es es la realidad
Sanchez-Pedroza would have been a great unification fight at 126 lbs. Pedroza was a very good fighter, but I think Sanchez would have beaten him, either by late rounds tko or UD. He could match Pedroza's workrate, was equal in the stamina department, and had a better chin. He also wouldn't be bothered by Pedroza's fouling, and would most likely dish it back to Pedroza.
Mark Phelps I am happy he did not fight Sanchez, pedroza could get dirty like he did against Laporte and sanchez fought clean. It would have been an ugly and dirty fight.
This was a young, in experienced pedroza who was fighting outside of his native panama for the first time. pedroiza would go on to be the greatest featherweight champ in history.
@Kedbuka Also, let it be said that I'm not in any way anti-Sanchez or anti-Mexican boxing. You do recall all the Chucho Castillo I've put up? I prefer Zamora to Pedroza. Just because I don't think Lopez is one of the ATGs and Sanchez is infallible doesn't mean I don't love these guys!
Hay 2 esuebios ,el casi imbatible que fue campeón ,y el buen boxeador pero nada espectacular antes de ser campeón. Algo así como por ejemplo (marvin hagler) ,el casi imbatible campeo y el buen boxeador ,pero nada excepcional antes de ser campeón. Una versión muy diferente a la otra. Además Sánchez nunca enfrento a un boxeador con la descomunal defensa y movilidad de pedroza. Gomez ,nelson y López ,sus 3 rivales de mayor peso ,eran muy estáticos y con casi nada de defensa y movilidad. El Eusebio prime era todo lo contrario... No pongo en duda las espectaculares cualidades del gran Salvador Sánchez ,pero que Eusebio perdiera con uno. No hace repercusión en que tenga que perder con otro. El boxeo siempre ha sido así... La verdad ,el mejor pedroza contra el mejor Sánchez ,un combate muy difícil de pronosticar.
Why do people call it a right hook? It's a right cross. Pedroza reigned for years holding the crap version of the feather title, Sanchez or especially Nelson would have had him for breakfast. McGuigan only held a world title by beating the ageing Pedroza and avoiding Azumah.
A right cross is thrown linear in a straight line from the shoulder. It shoots out horizontally, level. The elbow is ruler straight when impact occurs and follows through. The fist ends up out far away from the body. A right hook is an arcing, curving, elbow-bent lever that can be launched almost like an uppercut to an over-the-shoulder looping anvil hammer-down. The impact occurs with a bent elbow. And follows through in an arcing curve. The fist ends up close to the body again. 2:03 Zamora lands the over-the-shoulder looping hammer-down hook (right hook). Look, too, at where Zamora has moved his left foot (where his left foot is already at) when it's thrown and impacted into Pedroza's jaw. He has expertly closed the distance and has even crowded the much taller Pedroza towards the corner. He was timing Pedroza.
Eusebio may have beaten Salvador, we'll never know, but I have a feeling their was a reason Sanchez went straight to try to fight Arguello, not fighting a Verderosa, Camacho, Rosario, or a Serrano or Boza Edwards.
Entonces eso de que puede que Pedroza le gane a sal Sánchez.que quiere decir? si no aseguras o confirmas pero supones...ya no fumes mota. Pedroza le hubiera pelado k riata a SALVADOR Sánchez
Pero siempre esquivó a los mejores de su división.asi cualquiera llega hasta 100 defensas como el bultos Chávez....porque Pedroza no se enfrentó vs azhuma Nelson.wilfredo Laporte.. porque le temblaba el culo
right overhand hook by shorter boxer closing the distance, launched over left jabbing of taller opponent always comes out on top. It's often a KO blow.
Pedroza went on to be a good champion but he received more than a few questionable decisions in his favor. He was a favorite of the WBA no doubt. Maybe he had pictures in drag of the president of the WBA or maybe he was married to his daughter.
Mis respetos para el gran Zamora, que hermoso ko,,muchos dicen que Pedroza hubiera destrozado a Salvador Sánchez en peso pluma , jajaja jajaja,,no manchen Sánchez le hubiera acomodado una reputiza a Pedroza
A lot mejor le hubiera ganado pero por paliza tengo mis Duda , pedroza era de un estilo dificil y tenia algo que cortaba a sus contricantes . Yo digo que estaba 60 y 40 .
Eso es muy difícil saberlo ,el pedroza que fue campeón ,fue de un nivel totalmente diferente al pedroza que perdia ,antes de ser campeón. Algo así como marvin hagler ,el que fue campeón y el que perdía antes de ser campeón ,son dos boxeadores diferentes ,uno muy superior al otro.
Stunning to see the crafty pedroza get knocked out and just as surprising how bad zamora got after he was ko'd by zarate.lujan is a good fighter but he totally dominated zamora
Course not, we're cool, but just so you know, I have no inherant bias towards or against any fighters. It does wind me up a little when people assume I do but don't worry; you're not the first and certainly won't be the last I'm sure ;-)
Wow, didn't realise that. Well, I guess my man love for Conteh may be subconsciously related to him being from my shores, but to be honest I feel more affinity with the Thai's ;-)
Good points, except that Sanchez fought Ford first when he was a relative unknown. Pedroza, no doubt, had the benefit of watching Ford fight Sanchez, or at least studying film of the fight, so he knew what to expect. Pedroza was a good champion, but I feel that both Sanchez and Nelson would have defeated him; both would have succeeded in the late rounds where fighters like LaPorte and Lockridge failed.
The scorecards were bizarre in the WAY they were scored, but Pintor getting the decision is entirely defensible. A reigning champion scoring a knockdown is worth the exact same amount a a challenger scoring one, and no one "dominated" that fight.
Clearly not what I mean. But Sanchez is always held up as stylistically infallible because of the best fighters he beat, even though he struggled (somewhat) against lesser operators.
Porque Ford se la pasó corriendo, Cowdel abrazando, Castillo otro correlón. Los que se ponían a intercambiar golpes al tú por tú eran vencidos por Sánchez.
Fernando Palem olivares. Y herrera. Eran cartuchos quemados cuando lujan pesco a Zamora ya venía de capa caída perder con zarate fue un golpe anímico del cual nunca se recuperó
Eso de " apaleó" a Luján no es cierto, los golpes más claros y contundentes fueron los de Luján; Pedroza no logró avasallar a Luján quien en el tercer asalto le dió una "soberana" paliza a Pedroza y no lo noqueó por milagro de Diós. A pesar de la caida en el 14, Luján termina golpeando al igual que en último asalto.
Lamentable que no se haya podido dar la pelea contra Sal Sanchez para unificar, para no estar con mas especulaciones con el resultado, no se quien hubiese ganado, pero lo que se; es que hubiese sido un gran combate.
Pedroza was one dirty - ass fighter but he could fight and I loved watching him fight. I had zero idea Zamora had ko'd him. Eusebio was really young here. He went on to be a long reigning feather champ.
Dirty fighter no doubt. As for not fighting Sanchez or Nelson, I disagree, he was clearly at that level. Sanchez had his off nights and wasn't infallible either (Cowdell, Ford) and Pedroza also had sublime punch perfect performances like Sal (Ford) so I would have loved to see that battle of wits.
The only 2 close fights of Salvador Sánchez were Rubén Castillo's and Patrick Ford's, Pat Cowdell's was not even a joke, Sánchez took the entire fight and if you had lasted 10 more seconds, Sánchez would have knocked him out, on the other hand Eusebio Pedroza before the knockout was losing the fight, the blow that he landed on him was what saved him the fight. In addition, Pedroza all his victories over elite boxers were very close fights (Laporte and Lockdrige), he also lost about 10 fights and was knocked out several times, Salvador Sánchez was never knocked out, he never fell once in his life and his only defeat it was a robbery.

To many fans get caught up in how good Sanchez was! Because he died at a young age people tend to build him up more than he really was. When Whitney Houston died I herd some reporter claim she had the best voice of the last 50 years but if you asked that same reporter days before she probably wouldnt even mention her, same with Sanchez.
boxingod no one built Sanchez up, his great KO wins over 3 Hall of Famers at only 23 year old speaks for itself, scary to think he might have not peaked yet both phyiscally and in ring IQ. Imagine if he had lived to fight Arguello? I dont know who would have won but I favor Sanchez to win that fight because a 21 year old Jose Luis Ramirez gave a prime 27 year old Arguello hell and many say he beat Arguello. JLR dropped Arguello and busted his face up and JLR was not better than Sanchez. Sanchez is already a legend and if he had beaten Arguello that would have been historical because I am not sure if anyone else has ever beaten 4 Hall of famers by the age of 24.

I'm not that much of a Pedroza fan actually. I upload all sorts as a service to boxing fans. Far more of an admirer of Marcel who was better than Sanchez. You were saying that Laporte beating Lockridge showed that Pedroza's competition was weak. And yet he deserved to beat Sanchez's greatest scalp. A+B doesn't always equal C ya' know, boxing isn't maths. You feel Lockridge was robbed twice against Pedroza? You think Sanchez didn't have bad fights? Compare their performances against Ford.

Wilfredo Gómez Y a su padre Salvador Sánchez.. pinche Pedroza sucio y marrullero.solo los panameños lo admiran cuándo el más chingón de la historia es Roberto Duran .pir cierto de sangre Mexicana
Fleaboxing is right.Pedroza would have given Sanchez a real test.Its a shame they never fought,Sanchez was troubled a bit by cute boxers,Nelson was too.Great great fighters all three...they all should have fought each other multiple times.
Remember, Pedroza lost at Bantamweight. He was you g and still learning when he lost. Zampra was good and caught him. When Pedroza went to his natural weight at feather, he was more poished and better. He would have veaten sanchez and Nelson after 1978..on. Hey didn't Pacman get koed in his earlier career at straight twice. Even the great ones lose early in career and beco.e greater later.
Phelps,Sanchez and Pedroza were great,but I believe Pedroza,a FAR stronger and harder-hitting fighter,would have rallied from a deficit late in the bout to decision the Mexican legend.
Pedroza chin wasn't an issue later in his career. Juan LaPorte landed some bombs on Pedroza & he took them like nothing happened... Pedroza's effort vs Ford was notable - Sanchez really struggled against Ford, but Pedroza took care of Ford with ease. Pedroza would have been an underdog vs Sanchez but it wouldn't have surprised me if Pedroza beat Sanchez in a close one.... Sanchez tended to find it hard against technical boxers & Pedroza was as technical as they come..... I used to like watching Pedroza in the clinches. Most fighters clinch & wait for the ref to break them up, but Pedroza always tried to work in the clinch, kind of like his countryman Duran used to to.....
Yes, Pedroaza was considered the best featherweight at that time. He dominated Ford while Sanchez struggled! He also fought a much higher caliber fighter than Sanchez, he was already past his prime vs LaPorte! Sanchez became bigger in death.

Melvin Reginald, That may well be. But Sanchez never once mentioned an interest in Pedroza. He knew it would be a tough fight. He was dead set on fighting Alexis Arguello when he was killed.

Very, very rude comment indeed. Why would I waste my time with a throwaway comment designed to stir controversy? Shibata, Gomez and Arguello are as good as anything on Sanchez's resume, and Marcel looks Sanchez's equal in terms of ring craft, just as well-rounded, and just as dominant.

@@vforvendetta818 Así como Pedroza aumento si nivel después de campeón, Salvador Sánchez también hubiera aumentado su nivel a su edad de 25 años, aunque aún con el nivel con el que le ganó a Gómez le basta para ganarle a Pedroza.
Nelson, Lopez and Gomez were not at there best! Nelson was green, Lopez was over the hill and Gomez was never really effective above 122lb, Yes he won titles at 126 and 130 but was not the same fighter. Most including Ring/KO magazine thought Cowdell, Ford and Castillo beat or deserved a draw against Sanchez! Pedroza destroyed Ford and beat Lockridge and Taylor (both in there prime better than anyone Sanchez beat) Lujan, Kobayashi, Olivares, Nemoto ...
He was on wobbly legs & the ref didn't want to risk it. A bit like the two times Lennox Lewis got KO ed & got up on spaghetti legs. I see your point though - the ref could have given Pedroza a few seconds, just to see if he was really through....
Yes Sanchez was the greater fighter. But in terms of the ability both men demonstrated against their best opponents there cannot be too much between them. And seeing how Sanchez fared with Castillo, Ford and Cowdell it might well be that Pedroza would've been a difficult match up for him stylistically, great jab and feet. I'm not basing that off the comments below by the way, I've watched those fights. I rate Sanchez higher, I just think you're being very overblown in your criticism of Pedroza.
