Alejandro Gonzalez 49-5-1 (33 KO's) is a Mexican former professional boxer who held the WBC Featherweight & IBA Lightweight Titles!
Gonzalez made his professional debut on April 28, 1988 at the age of just 14-years-old!
In May 1992, Alejandro won the WBC International Featherweight Title by knocking-out Paquito Openo in the 2nd round! Six fights after, and in his 4th defense of the WBC regional title, he stopped future Champion ~ Luisito Espinosa, knocking-out him in the 2nd round as well! After 4-more wins, Gonzalez defeated another future World Champion ~ Cesar Soto, in a WBC title eliminator bout, improving his record to 33-2-0!
On January 7, 1995, Gonzalez won the WBC Featherweight Championship by upsetting an undefeated Kevin Kelley, who was 41-0, and WBC Champion. Giving Kelly his very first loss! In the 10th round Kelley's corner threw-in the towel, after Alejandro had landed many heavy shots. Gonzalez defended it for the first time against former champion Louie Espinoza, winning by unanimous decision. Just 2-months later, he would have his second title defense against American Tony Green in Mashantucket, Connecticut. Alejandro won by 9th round TKO! He would lose the title in his next fight to Manuel Medina, by a closely contested split decision. He attempted to recover the title against Luisito Espinosa, whom he had previously defeated, but was stopped in the 4th round.
On March 11, 2000 Gonzalez would upset another undefeated American, Steve Forbes, to win the IBA Lightweight Championship! Several wins later, he defeated future World Champion ~ Orlando Salido by majority decision. He next lost to former champion Stevie Johnston by another majority decision. In his final career fight, he defeated John Brown, once again, by majority decision.
