Alfonso Zamora Quiroz (born 9 February 1954 in Ciudad de México, Distrito Federal) is a former Mexican boxer who
fought from 1973 to 1980. Zamora was the silver medalist at the 1972 Munich Olympics and enjoyed a meteoric rise in
his professional career. He won the WBA Bantamweight Championship on 14 March 1975 when he knocked out
Soo-Hwan Hong in four rounds, two years after turning pro.
Fighting contemporaneously, and holding the WBC crown, was the fellow-Mexican legend, Carlos Zarate. A showdown
between the two was inevitable and they met in a non-title match on 23 April 1977. Zamora went into the bout sporting a
record of 29 wins in 29 fights, all by knockout. Zarate's record was an equally impressive 45 fights, 45 wins, with 44
KOs. In an eargely anticipated fight Zarate scored a technical knockout over Zamora in the fourth round.
Zamora never seemed to recover from this loss. In his next fight he lost his WBA Bantamweight title to Jorge Luján by
knockout in the tenth round. His record thereafter was spotty, and he even was stopped on 16 November 1979 by Eddie
Logan, who sported a record of 5 wins and 7 losses. He retired after losing, again by knockout, to Rigoberto Estrada on
19 September 1980. In 1983, Zamora was to fight Wilfredo Gomez, [1], the fight ultimately was canceled.
Zamora was a knockout seeker, but he seemed to lose confidence after his devastating loss to Zarate. Nevertheless, he
was selected at Number 47 on the The Ring's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time. His final career record included 33
wins, with 32 KOs, and 5 losses. Zamora was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame (2005).
