LOS ANGELES EXPLOSION - BOXING CLASSIC

In boxing, there are certain types of "rivalries" that fans get excited about most of the time. When a Puerto Rican fighter faces a Mexican, for example, in a major title fight, most of the time the fight itself is considered a big boxing event. The same can be said about Mexicans fighting against a     fellow Mexican for a world title.

The Mexican versus Mexican-American rivalries also fall among boxing fans' favorite rivalries. A good example is the sustained rivalry between Bobby Chacon, from California, and Rafael Limón, from Mexico. A more recent example is Oscar De La Hoya against Julio César Chávez.

When Michael Carbajal, from Phoenix, Arizona, became a   professional boxer in 1989, Humberto González, from Mexico, was already a seasoned professional. Carbajal's promoter, Bob Arum, told Ring magazine that Carbajal would be the first junior flyweight to earn one  million dollars for one fight.
