Francisco "Kiko" Bejines (January 1, 1962 – September 4, 1983) was a professional boxer from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. He was a top-rated Bantamweight who fought for the WBC's world Bantamweight title, dying days after his championship bout against Alberto Davila.Francisco Bejines made his professional boxing debut on September 16, 1977, against undefeated (2–0) Rodolfo Quintero at the Arena Coliseo in Guadalajara. He outpointed his rival over eight rounds. His very next fight was his first ten round test, as he battled undefeated (7–0–1) Miguel Navarro, who knocked Bejines out in round eight on October 21 of the same year, also at the Arena Coliseo.On November 25, only one month and four days after his first loss, Bejines was back in a ring as a professional, facing David Vera (6–3). Bejines scored his first professional knockout win when he beat Vera in round eight of a scheduled ten rounds.Bejines' first 1978 bout took place on February 17 at the Arena Coliseo when he took on 1–4 Anastacio Chavez, beating Chavez by ten round decision. Six months later, he faced undefeated Rosendo Alonso, 6–0–1 coming in, and lost to him by ten round decision on August 11. On September 8, Bejines returned to the winning column, notching a ten round points victory against Agustin Macias, 5–2 coming in. Bejines' last fight in 1978 was a rematch with Rodolfo Quintero, who by then had a record of 2–2, and who was again beaten by Bejines, this time by decision over ten rounds, on November 3.1979 proved to be, boxing-wise, a busy year for Bejines, as he fought nine times, beginning with a February 2 fifth round knockout of undefeated but also inexperienced (1–0) Lupe Torres; a March 16 technical decision loss to Manuel Luna (2–5) in what constituted a small upset when a clash of heads in round six left Luna, who was winning the bout on the judges scorecards, unable to continue; a June 8 second round knockout win against debuting Jorge Martinez; a June 22 first round knockout win versus the also debuting Jesus Garcia; a July 13 third round knockout win against 0–1 Victor Hernandez; a step-up in class to face 22–10 boxing veteran Francisco Javier Nunez-whom he beat by three round technical decision August 10 when Nunez slipped to the canvas and sustained a dangerous cut, not being able to continue and Bejines winning the Jalisco state Bantamweight championship; a first round knockout on October 12 of 5–4 Jorge Manuel Vera; a November 16 fight against 0–1 Leonardo Martinez; beaten by knockout in two, and Bejines' first defense of the Jalisco state Bantamweight title, when he lost by a twelve round decision in a rematch with 15–3–1 Rosendo Alonso, on December 14.Bejines had a less busy year in 1980. Nevertheless, he still fought seven times that year, including twice in a seven-day span and twice in a six-day one. On May 24, he faced 5–6–1 Hector Cortes, winning by a ten round decision. On June 26, he followed that victory with a losing effort; this time against 3–4 Ramiro Garcia in a minor upset, in what was his first fight outside Guadalajara, the bout being held at Uruapan, Michoacan de Ocampo. Three months and a half later, on October 4, Bejines fought Fabian Palma, 4–7–2 coming in, and knocked him out in round one in what was Bejines' Mexico City debut. Seven days later, on October 11, Bejines boxed world ranked Ecuadorian Hector Cortez (no relation to Bejines' earlier rival on the same year), 30–6–3, winning by first round knockout which made him ranked among the world's top ten Bantamweights by the WBC. On November 16, Bejines re-matched Leonardo Martinez, now 0–2, and beat him by a second round knockout, and on November 22, he beat 8–3 Freddy Martinez by a third round knockout before making his debut abroad, his first fight in the United States, against future Jeff Chandler beater and world title challenger Oscar Muniz, who outpointed Bejines over ten rounds on December 11 at the Olympic Auditorium, in Los Angeles, California.
