Main Tag:
Description: Carlos Zarate, sporting a 42-0 record with 41 of those wins coming by way of knockout, made the first defense of his WBC bantamweight title against Commonwealth champion Paul Ferreri of Australia on the 28th August, 1976. Zarate had taken the title from Rodolfo Martinez a few months earlier with a ninth-round knockout. The 25-year-old Zarate was an intimidating figure amongst the bantamweights, towering over many of them at 5’8 and carrying knockout power in both hands. The bout with Ferreri would be Zarate’s sixth appearance at The Forum in Inglewood, California, a popular venue for Latino fighters in the 60s and 70s.
