The bolo punch he perfected that lured him into middleweight contention
In this episode, we trace Gerardo González’s rise from Havana to undisputed welterweight champion and the choices that pushed him beyond that title. We follow his signature bolo punch, his rematches, and the decisions that kept him fighting the next fight - but could those same impulses cost him more than a belt?
Person: Gerardo González (Kid Gavilán)
Date of birth: January 6, 1926
Career record: 107 wins, 30 losses, 6 draws, 27 KOs in 143 fights
Undisputed welterweight champion (won May 18, 1951)
Event: 1952 Miami defense against Bobby Dykes, first integrated boxing match in the city
- Began pro career June 5, 1943, stopped Antonio Diaz in Havana and quickly moved to Mexico to pursue tougher competition
- Suffered early losses (Carlos Macalara) then demanded immediate rematches and corrected the defeats
- Introduced a blindingly fast looping uppercut - the bolo punch - that became his signature weapon in the U.S.
- Rebounded from back-to-back decisions to Ike Williams and Sugar Ray Robinson by studying opponents and winning key rematches
- Won three sanctioning belts in one night (NYSAC, WBA, The Ring) against Johnny Bratton and defended the title multiple times, often going the distance
