Two Of The Biggest Punchers Who Faced Eachother.

Yea pretty amazing Gomez is one of my favorite fighters at the lower weights, and i expect you to be a very big fan as well, considering he is fellow Puerto Rican. But that is amazing stat i was just watching Gomez vs Zarate again and i was curious to see the stats and when i see them my mouth was wide open, i've never seen such high KO percentage in a Championship fight of that caliber.

Oh yeah.... huge fan of Gomez also. But I didn't realize Zarate ended his career with such a high KO ratio himself. Speaks volumes of the achievement it was for Gomez to KO Zarate. Zarate had a key victory on the way up against a great, fellow Mexican fighter... Alfonso Zamora. That was also a battle of unbeatens.

His fight with Zamora was awesome a Thomas Hearns vs Marvin Hagler type of war if its the right fight im thinking of, is that the fight where some guy in the crowd comes into the ring with only his underpants on or something like that ??

I have to admit I've never been able to see that fight. But I'm told the buildup to the fight was huge, considering it matched two great, unbeaten Mexican fighters against one another. They should show it on ESPN Classic.

Man, that was awesome! Zarate took some tremendous shots from Zamora, but Zamora just looked too small for Zarate. And yeah... (LOL)... I see what you mean about the guy in the underpants crashing the party. He's lucky the cops just threw him out of the ring. I would've let either Zarate or Zamora beat the crap out of him.

Well sure it LOOKS out of place since they were both more boxers than sluggers but RJJ was 26(23 KO's)-0-0 and James Toney was 44(29 KO's)-0-2...but James Toney had some big power when he used it.

Some other high % tussles Randall Baily 17-0 17 KO's.......Bolillo Gonzalez 48-3-1 43 KO's

Mike Tyson 37-1 (33) Ko's.........Alex Stewart 25-1 (25) Ko's
Jaime Garza Vs. Juan Meza had good KO %.....don't recall off top
Ohh and anything with Tye Fields,great KO percentage and most of his opponents fight like there 0-0- 0 KO's. 100% Lol

Roy Jones Jr. 17-0 (17).....vs. Jorge Castro 71-3-2 (51)

In all seriousness,The Z boys battle should have been a title fight.....Politics be damned

[Macho]

Tito Trinidad vs Yory Boy Campas.............

Oh yeah! Yori Boy was 56-0 with 50 KO's coming into the fight. Good one.

[THE THIRD MAN]

You got it, this has to be highest KO % of any two fighters who have met, although Zarate's record at the time suggests he was knocking out busboys!
Gomez certainly did a number on him though!

You'd think so. And I'm sure there were a few busboys scattered in that record. But watch the Zarate-Zamora fight, and you'll see classic boxing at its best. Zarate was for real.
