  • Genius with the Samba Beat: Golden Bantam Eder Jofre Was the Complete Fighter
    Genius with the Samba beat: Golden bantam Eder Jofre was the complete fighter By Mike Casey When it finally happened, nobody could quite believe it. Eder Jofre had been beaten. It didn’t seem possible and people had begun to wonder if it was even allowed. Far from the sun-kissed shores of his native Brazil, before 12,000 wildly cheering Japanese fans at the Aichi Prefectural Gym in Nagoya, the masterful genius of a boxer who could do it all had lost his bantamweight championship to the perpetual little buzzsaw that was Masahiko ‘Fighting’ Harada. News of such cataclysmic events took an age to trickle through to the average boxing fan in the stark and simpler days of 1965. There was no Internet, no twenty-four hour news stations and no mention of boxing on the TV or radio unless Muhammad Ali had done something else to ruffle the feathers of the silent majority. When I finally saw the result in the newspaper, tucked away at the bottom of the page in the form of a two-liner, I seriously wondered if the sub-editor had lunched for a little too long at his favourite watering hole and accidentally transposed the names. Nobody expected Eder Jofre to lose to Fighting Harada, because Jofre was a genuine wonder of a fighter who didn’t lose to anyone. Not since the days of Panama Al Brown and Manuel Ortiz had a bantamweight champion looked so dominant or stood so toweringly over his peers. Eder had mastered his division with such a sublime and disciplined combination of skilful boxing and brilliantly timed power punching that old and new sages alike were hailing him as a Sugar Ray Robinson in miniature.

  • Ismael Laguna
    Ismael Laguna ( Class of 2001 Modern Category Hall of Fame bio:click World Boxing Hall of Fame Inductee Name: Ismael Laguna Alias: El Tigre Colonense Birth Name: Ismael Laguna Meneses Born: 1943-06-28 Hometown: Colon City, Panama Birthplace: Colon City, Panama Stance: Orthodox Height: 175cm Reach: 173cm Pro Boxer: Record Promoter: Record Manager: Hector Valdez Trainer: Curro Dosman Photo #2 Biography Ismael Laguna, one of a family of nine, was born in a fishing village called Santa Isabel, near Colon, Panama on 28 June 1943. Colon was a busy port at the Caribbean end of the Panama Canal. Like many others from poor backgrounds, Laguna scraped a living as a boy by shining shoes and selling newspapers. He soon learned to fight for his pitch, and then turned to boxing at the age 12 or 13 when he found the National Champion, Carlos Watson, offering to spar with anyone on the beach. Laguna volunteered and opened a cut which was still healing from Watson's last fight. Afterwards, Watson's trainer, Chino Amon, asked the youngster if he would like to learn the art properly. Amon talked to Laguna's parents and persuaded them that it was better for their son to spend his time in a boxing gym than on the streets. Laguna fought just half a dozen times as an amateur before turning professional under manager Isaac Kretch at the age of 17. In his debut, he scored a second round knockout of Al Morgan in Colon in January 1961. Later that month, he outpointed Eduardo Frutos for his second pro fight.
