Julio Antonio Gervacio (born 1967) is a former boxer and world Super Bantamweight champion from the Dominican Republic.As a child, he relocated to Puerto Rico. He always expressed pride in his national background; and he considered himself a Dominican-Puerto Rican. In fact, he usually took both the flags of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic to most of his fights.Gervacio had an award-winning amateur boxing career. His professional career as a boxer took off on December 21, 1985, after he knocked out Felix Llanos during the first round at Caguas. After two more wins, he participated, alongside Juan Carazo, at an undercard held in Curaçao on May 30, 1986.On June 22, he knocked out Pedro Arroyo in three rounds, as part of an undercard headlined by Azumah Nelson's successful world Featherweight championship defense against Danilo Cabrera. That win triggered off a streak of fourteen wins in a row, twelve of them by knockout, including a tenth round knockout over future Fabrice Benichou and Welcome Ncita world title challenger Ramon "Panadero" Cruz, leading Gervacio to a match for the world championship.WBA world Super Bantamweight champion Louie Espinoza of Phoenix, Arizona, had defeated boxer Tommy Valoy by a knockout after a four round match at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum to win the vacant world title. Many fans attended the November 27, 1987, world championship fight between Gervacio and Espinoza. Gervacio became a world champion by defeating Espinoza with a relatively close (scores of 117-114, 116-113 and 116-112) but unanimous decision over Espinoza at San Juan's Roberto Clemente Coliseum.On his first attempt to defend his newly acquired title, his undefeated record and world title were lost to Bernardo Pinango after a split decision (scores of 113-114, 114-115 and 114-113).
