Amazing match, Zamora the WBA bantam weight champ was 29-0 29 ko's.
Zarate the WBC bantamweight champ was 45-0 44 ko's.

If it were held today it would surely be a superfight as it was then. Why was it considered a non tile bout when it should have been an unification?

Great short lived fight, explosive for how little it lasted. They just don't make fighters like these anymore.

I remember when Zarate got KTFO by GOMEZ! And Zamora going to PUERTO RICO to promote a fight with GOMEZ then leaving the island before his trainer even knew what had happened!!! Left cause the sparring were getting the best of him!!!!

I'm not rican just lived there, but I remember GOMEZ KTFO like 15 mesicens while defending his 122 lbs championship title!! How lame are you people to glorify a single win over the best 122 lbs CHAMPION of all time!!! You people LIVE by that win, your greatest win to date, while refusing to acknowledge the beatings ZARATE, PINTOR, and your other compadres recieved by the fists of WILFREDO GOMEZ!!! But thats how you people are! SAD
