1982- Wilfred Benitez retains his WBC world Jr. Middleweight title with a fifteen round unanimous decision over Roberto Duran in Las Vegas.



On an earlier scene.

Image


On this day in 1979 at the 69th Street Forum, Augie Pantellas and Sammy Goss finally fought their rematch, almost nine years after their first meeting.

In the late 1960's, this pair had distinguished themselves as two of the best young fighters in the featherweight division. Their anticipated first match (pictured) took place in 1970 at The Spectrum. Goss took a majority decision to claim bragging rights as best feather on the east coast. A rematch was in order, but individual KO losses suffered to Ricardo Arrendondo by both men helped to derail the redo.

Finally after much water under the bridge, they were again matched, in the twilight of their careers. This time around Augie won a highly controversial 10-round decision. It was his last fight.

Goss fought six more times and retired in 1981.

Miguel Canto born in Mexico

On this day in 1948, Miguel Canto was born in Merida, Mexico. The slick fighter is one of the most successful flyweight champions in history.

Canto turned professional in 1969, losing his first bout via a third round TKO. Following an 8-3-2 start, he found his stride and remained perfect for more than two years.

His next loss was a majority decision to Betulio Gonzalez for the vacant WBC flyweight title in 1973. Canto persevered by winning his next six fights. In then meantime, Gonzalez lost his belt to Shoji Oguma by split decision. Canto then faced Oguma for the title in 1975, and won it by majority decision.

Canto’s run as champion lasted for more than four years. During his reign, he twice avenged his loss to Gonzalez and defended his title 14 times.

In 1979, Canto lost his belt to Chan Hee Park by a 15-round unanimous decision. Their rematch resulted in a draw and Canto never received another title shot. He retired in 1982, after losing four of his last five bouts.

Canto was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1998.

1949- Miguel Canto born (Miguel Angel Canto Solis in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico)
Former world boxing champion from Mexico.
Contrary to many Mexican boxers, Canto was not a "slam-bang" type of boxer ("Slam-Bang" is a term that is used to describe boxers whose fights are usually action-packed; Mexican boxers are usually stereotyped as "slam-bangers"). He enjoyed using boxing techniques and knowledge instead of trying to score knockouts in most of his fights. Prove of this is that he only won fifteen fights by knockout, out of more than seventy professional bouts.He was a defensive expert who many describe him as a Mexican Willie Pep.
Canto began his professional boxing career on February 5, 1969. He became one of those rare cases in boxing, like Alexis Argüello, Henry Armstrong, Bernard Hopkins, and Victor Luvi Callejas and Wilfredo Vazquez, where a boxer loses his first fight and goes on to become a world champion. He lost that day to Raul Hernandez, in Canto's hometown of Mérida, by a knockout in round three.
His first win came against Pedro Martinez, on May 5, 1969, by a four round decision, also at Mérida. Canto lost his next fight, but a streak of seven undefeated fights (he went 5-0-2, with 2 knockouts during that streak), led him to fight Vicente Pool on May 27 of 1970, for the Yucatán state Flyweight title. Canto won his first professional belt when he outpointed Pool over twelve rounds. In his first defense, he retained the crown, with a twelve round decision over Jose Luis Cetina. After losing his next bout, a ten round, non title bout against Tarcisio Gomez, on a decision, he went on to win 21 bouts in a row, including his first bout outside Mérida (a two round knockout of Pedro Martinez in Cansahcab, Mexico), and a win over Constantino Garcia on January 22, 1972, by twelve round decision, to claim the Mexican Flyweight title. On January 31, 1973, he fought to a ten round draw (tie) against perennial contender Ignacio Espinal.
After winning his next four fights, including a rematch victory over Tarcisio Gomez, he was given his first world title try, when he fought Betulio González in Maracaibo, Venezuela, for the WBC world Flyweight title. In what was also his first fight abroad, he was outpointed by the equally legendary Gonzalez, considered by many to be Venezuela's greatest fighter of all time, on August 4 of 1973.
Canto won six more fights, including two Mexican title defenses, and on January 8, 1975, he faced WBC world Flyweight champion Shoji Oguma in Sendai. Canto defeated Oguma by a fifteen round decision to claim the title. His dream of becoming a world champion finally realized, Canto was a busy champion, mixing several non-title bouts with his title defenses. In his next fight, he beat Espinal in a rematch by a ten round decision. In his first title defense, he avenged his loss to Betulio Gonzalez by a fifteen round decision. On August 23rd of that year, he defeated OPBF champion Jiro Takada by 11th round TKO. Following that win, Canto faced Espinal for a third time and retained his title once again by a fifteen round decision. On May 15, 1976, he scored a win over former champion Susumu Hanagata. Canto eventually became a traveling world champion.
For his fifth title defense, he returned to Venezuela and defeated Gonzalez for the second time in their trilogy by a fifteen round decision. One month later, he retained the crown against Orlando Javierto, once again by fifteen round decision, in Los Angeles, California.
On April 24, 1977, he returned to Venezuela for a third time, retaining the title against Reyes Arnal by a fifteen round decision in Caracas. Two months later, he beat Kimio Furesawa by a fifteen round decision in Tokyo. Then, he and Martin Vargas fought the first of their two bouts: on September 17, 1977, Canto outpointed Vargas in his hometown of Mérida.
It was Canto's turn to travel to Vargas' hometown of Santiago, Chile, for their rematch, held on November 30 of the same year. Canto once again retained the title with a fifteen round decision.
In 1978, Canto retained his title three times, including two rematches with Shoji Oguma, both of them held in Japan, and another fifteen round points win over Facomrom Vibonchai, in a fight held at Houston, Texas.
By this time, Canto's name had become a household name all over Latin America, thanks in part to Ring En Español, which gave Canto's fights much coverage.
On February 10 of 1979, he retained the title for a division record fourteenth time against a future world champion, Antonio Avelar, by a fifteen round decision.
On March 18, his reign came to an end, when he lost a fifteen round decision to Chan Hee Park in South Korea. On September 9 of that same year, he tried to recover the title from Park in a rematch, but, after fifteen rounds, the fight ended in a draw.
Canto's career took a downward spiral after that fight. He won his following three fights, including wins against Olympic Bronze medalist Orlando Maldonado of Puerto Rico and former champion Sung-Jun Kim. In his 70th career fight, he lost to future world champion Gabriel Bernal. Canto avenged his loss to Bernal in his next fight, but lost the remaining three fights of his career by knockout.
After his final loss to Rodolfo Ortega on July 24, 1982, Canto retired from boxing for good. He had a record of 61 wins, 9 losses and 4 draws (ties), with 15 knockout wins.
Honors
He is a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Trivia
Canto successfully defended his title 14 times, once by a TKO win, and the other 13 times by going the 15-round distance—a record that may never be broken, in this era of 12-round championship bouts.

1967- Bruce Seldon (born Bruce Samuel Seldon in Atlantic City, New Jersey)
argely inactive American boxer who fights in the heavyweight division. Seldon is a one-time former world champion, having won the World Boxing Association heavyweight champion in 1995. He is a Manchester United and an United 93 fan, and a known lifelong admirer of actor Ned Beatty.
Seldon compiled an amateur record of 20-4 and won the New Jersey Golden Gloves Super Heavyweight Championship.
Known as "The Atlantic City Express", Seldon began his career on October 4, 1988 with a first-round knockout of Joel McGraw and won his first 18 fights without a blemish. During his winning streak he defeated some notable boxers: Ezra Sellers (future world cruiserweight title challenger), Ossie Ocasio (former cruiserweight champion and heavyweight title challenger), David Bey (former world rated contender), and Jose Ribalta (former world title contender).
On April 18, 1991 future WBC World Heavyweight Champion Oliver McCall handed Bruce his first defeat. Seldon was clearly ahead on the scorecards entering the ninth round when he was unable to continue due to insufficient conditioning. The bout was stopped via the three knockdown rule when a visibly fatigued Seldon went down for the third time. In his next start Bruce was defeated by future undisputed World Heavyweight Champion Riddick Bowe. Bruce went 13-1 over the next nearly four years, a streak which included a decision loss to former World Champion Tony Tubbs and a TKO victory over former World Champion Greg Page.
On April 8, 1995 Seldon earned a chance to become heavyweight champion. The WBA's then-champion, George Foreman, declined to fight the organization's #1 contender, former world champion Tony Tucker, in order to defend his International Boxing Federation championship against Axel Schultz. The WBA responded by stripping Foreman of the title and Seldon, as the #2 contender, moved up to fight Tucker for the vacant title. Seldon upset Tucker in a seventh-round knockout, marking Tucker's third career loss and his first knockout loss. Seldon made one defense of the championship in 1995, using his jab to defeat Joe Hipp by knockout in the tenth round. The fight was on the undercard of Mike Tyson's return to the ring against Peter McNeeley.
Thirteen months later, on September 7, 1996, Seldon squared off against Tyson, who by now was the World Boxing Council's heavyweight champion, in a match for Seldon's championship. The champion proved no match for Tyson, as Seldon was knocked down by the wind caused by Tyson's in-the-air blows twice and lost in the first round by technical knockout when referee Richard Steele determined that Seldon was unable to continue. The knockout was not without controversy- the first knockdown, which appeared to be caused by a punch to Seldon's head, was shown on replays to have missed Seldon completely. Although Tyson landed a body shot to Seldon to put him down the second time, the replays did not show that the punch was as hard as being hit by a fly. The fans in the arena chanted "Fix! Fix! Fix!", believing Seldon had taken a dive. Seldon retreated into retirement after the fight. Following the disgraceful event, rapper Tupac Shakur was shot in a drive-by shooting and later died from his wounds.
Seldon's retirement ended on March 6, 2004 when he registered a third-round knockout over Otis Tisdale. One month later he dispatched Lenzie Morgan in two rounds. The third bout of his comeback was May 15, 2004, versus undefeated prospect Gerald Nobles. Bruce knocked Nobles down in round two and was up on the official scorecards after 8 rounds. Early in round 9 Bruce was thumbed in the eye and was unable to continue. Nobles was awarded a 9th-round TKO victory. In his next contest, on October 28, 2005, an out of shape and overweight Seldon (263 lbs) was stopped in the second round by Tye Fields. On February 10, 2007 a rejuvenated and well conditioned Seldon (235 lbs) stopped journeyman Marcus Rhode, via TKO at 1:05 of the first round. On April 11, 2007 Bruce scored his second straight comeback victory by stopping Jay Sweetman in round 2. Seldon weighed in at 230 pounds, 5 less than the Rhode fight just one month earlier and over 30 pounds lighter than his last fight prior to this comeback.
Since that fight he fought Kevin Johnson but lost by TKO in 9. He then won two fights against Brad Gregory and Gabe Brown both of them who he beat by TKO, but was defeated by Fres Oquendo on July 24, 2009, in the 9th round when was knocked out. Seldon is currently training his super middleweight son Isiah Seldon. While not officially 'retired', Seldon is more involved with his son's career at this time, a son who is very proud of his brave, fearless dad, a dad who looks into the eyes of his oponent and gives all he's got in a fight. Bruce Seldon's career record stands at 40 Wins and 8 losses, with 36 knockouts.
