Professional career
Zaragoza turned pro in 1980 and in 1985 captured the vacant WBC bantamweight title with a disqualification victory over
Freddie Jackson. He lost the title in his first defense to Miguel "Happy" Lora. In his next bout, he suffered a loss to future
hall of fame member Jeff Fenech.
Zaragoza moved up in weight in his next bout and scored 7 consecutive wins before capturing the vacant WBC super
bantamweight title with a knockout win over future hall of fame member Carlos Zarate. He successfully defended his title
four times, which included wins over future champion Valerio Nati, Paul Banke (16-3-0), Frankie Duarte (47-7-1), and
former champion Chan-Yong Park. In 1990, he lost the belt to Paul Banke whom he had defeated just three fights prior.
Two fights later, Zaragoza regained the belt with a split decision win over Kiyoshi Hatanaka. He defended the belt against
Chun Huh (25-2-0) of South Korea and avenged his loss against Paul Banke. In 1992, he lost his title to Thierry Jacob. In
his next two fights he battled newly crowned WBC super bantamweight titleholder Tracy Harris Patterson, who had
recently defeated Jacob. He fought to a draw with Patterson in the first bout and lost by knockout in the second bout when
the fight was stopped due to a cut.
In 1995 he would yet again get another crack at the title against WBC super bantamweight champion Hector
Acero-Sanchez, who had defeated Tracy Harris Patterson to win the title. The bout was ruled a draw, but Zaragoza fought
a rematch with Sanchez later in the year and won the belt via split decision. At 36 years 11 months, he became the oldest
super bantamweight champion in history.[1]
Zaragoza was able to defend the title four times, including two wins against former and future champion Joichiro Tatsuyoshi,
a win over Tsuyoshi Harada (20-1-0), and a win against undefeated bantamweight champion Wayne McCullough who had
recently moved up in weight. On Sep 6, 1997, he lost his title to then-undefeated 21 year old Erik Morales, who knocked
out Zaragoza in the 11th round. Zaragoza retired after the bout at the age of 39 with a record of 55-8-3.
He was inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2004.
