Colombian boxer Antonio "Kid Pambelé" Cervantes defeated South African Norman "Pangaman" Sekgapane by technical knockout (TKO) in the ninth round on August 26, 1978.

The fight took place at Independence Stadium in Mmabatho, South Africa, and with this victory, Cervantes successfully retained his World Boxing Association (WBA) junior welterweight title.

Fight Details: Physical Dominance: Cervantes used his considerable height and reach advantage, punishing Sekgapane severely from the fourth round onward.

Previous Knockdowns: The South African challenger had already been knocked down twice during the fourth round before the final outcome.

The End: At the beginning of the ninth round, "Kid Pambelé" landed a powerful and accurate left hook as Sekgapane backed away, sending him to the canvas. Although the South African beat the count, Venezuelan referee Luis Sulbarán stopped the fight, deeming him unfit to continue.

Historical context: Despite the loss to an opponent considered a living legend of boxing, Sekgapane earned the respect of the local crowd and Cervantes himself for his courage and determination in fighting forward throughout the bout.

In 2007, Puerto Rican Iván "Iron Boy" Calderón became a world champion in a second weight class by defeating Mexican Hugo Fidel Cázares in a fight held at the Rubén Rodríguez Coliseum in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. Calderón, undefeated in 28 fights, had been the WBO (World Boxing Organization) 105-pound champion since 2003 with 12 successful title defenses and was moving up to 108 pounds. Cázares, the WBO champion in that division with six defenses, had defeated three Puerto Ricans in four fights on the island and was seeking his fifth victory against a Puerto Rican in defense of the belt he had taken from Nelson Dieppa in 2005.

Cázares weighed in at 107.75 pounds, while Calderón weighed 107 pounds. However, it is alleged that the Mexican fighter weighed over 130 pounds when he entered the ring. The fight was one in which Calderón used his boxing skills, technique, and movement to land punches and make Cázares miss, though the Puerto Rican fighter relentlessly pursued him. After Calderón dominated the first part of the fight, in the eighth round Cázares caught up with him and sent him to the canvas, putting the Puerto Rican through a difficult moment, who fought to avoid being knocked out.

Today marks the 53rd birthday of Nikolai Valuev, a Russian politician and former professional boxer who holds the record for being the tallest (2.13 meters) and heaviest (up to 151 kg) world boxing champion. Nicknamed "The Russian Giant" or "The Beast from the East," he was crowned World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion twice between 2005 and 2009. His enormous size was due to acromegaly, a hormonal disorder caused by a benign tumor on the pituitary gland.

After retiring from the ring, he radically changed his career path and became fully involved in Russian politics, serving continuously as a member of the State Duma for the United Russia party since December 2011.

Valuev competed professionally between 1993 and 2009. He was known for his incredible physical stamina. In fact, he is the first heavyweight champion to complete his entire career without ever being knocked down.

First World Title (2005): He defeated American John Ruiz by majority decision, making history by capturing the WBA crown. He lost the title in 2007 to Ruslan Chagaev.

Second World Title (2008): He regained the vacant WBA title by defeating Ruiz again and subsequently defended it successfully in a controversial decision against veteran Evander Holyfield.

Retirement Fight (2009): He definitively lost his title to Briton David Haye in a fight billed as "David vs. Goliath," where Haye's speed prevailed over the Russian's imposing size.

In the third fight of their bizarre trilogy, Terry Norris defeated Luis Santana by technical knockout (TKO) in the second round on August 19, 1995, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. With this clean and dominant victory, Norris finally regained the WBC super welterweight world championship, which he had inexplicably lost in his two previous fights against the Dominican fighter by disqualification.

The Outcome: Unlike the first two fights (where Norris was disqualified for illegal blows and Santana left the ring on a stretcher), Norris displayed absolute control in this third encounter. He knocked Santana down three times in the second round, all completely legally.

The Stoppage: After the third knockdown, caused by a powerful right hand to the chin, referee Joe Cortez officially stopped the fight at 2:09 of the second round.

Event Context: The bout took place in the afternoon as part of the historic pay-per-view card headlined by Mike Tyson's return to boxing against Peter McNeeley.

19/08/2026

On this day, the legendary boxing match between Mike Tyson and Peter McNeeley, promoted as "He's Back," took place on August 19, 1995, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fight ended in an unusual fashion with a disqualification victory for Mike Tyson 89 seconds into the first round, after McNeeley's manager deliberately entered the ring to stop the punishment inflicted on his fighter.

Context of the Fight: The bout marked Tyson's highly anticipated return to professional boxing after more than four years of inactivity, a period that included three years behind bars for a r**e conviction in 1992. His opponent, Peter "The Hurricane" McNeeley, came in with a misleading record of 36 wins and 1 loss, having built his reputation primarily against lower-level boxers or in local circuits.

The opening attack: As soon as the bell rang, McNeeley didn't hesitate and charged straight at Tyson, unleashing a barrage of wild punches.

First knockdown: His boldness was short-lived; barely 10 seconds into the fight, Tyson connected with a short right hook that sent McNeeley crashing to the canvas. Surprisingly, McNeeley got up immediately and ran circles around the ring before referee Mills Lane could even administer the mandatory count.

The aftermath: McNeeley attacked again with renewed vigor, even landing some punches against the ropes, but Tyson responded with body shots and a devastating right uppercut to the face. McNeeley went down for the second time.

The disqualification: McNeeley beat the count, struggling to his feet, but visibly hurt and disoriented. Noticing his fighter's precarious condition, his manager, Vinny Vecchione, jumped into the ring to protect him. Under official boxing rules, an incursion by team members into the ring during a fight forces the referee to declare an immediate disqualification.
