Ysaias Zamudio pugile

Ysaias Zamudio (born May 10, 1969) is a former professional boxer from Mexicali, Mexico who resides in Blythe, California. His ring nickname is "Kid Showtime".Zamudio made his professional boxing debut on August 13, 1987, defeating Jerome Wilson, 1-2 coming in, at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, California, by a four round unanimous decision as part of the Paul Banke-Jesus Poll fight's undercard. Less than a week later, he returned to the ring in San Diego, defeating Jose Hernandez at the Cortez Hotel on August 19 by first round knockout. This fight was significant because it was Zamudio's first knockout win as a professional.After three more wins, Zamudio faced Jose Robles in Mexicali on March 4, 1988, beating Robles by a second round knockout. This fight marked the first of six in a row held in Mexico for Zamudio, which included his first defeat as a professional, a ninth round disqualification defeat to the far more experienced, future world champion German Torres (56-10-3 coming in) on August 4 at the Plaza de Toros Calafia as part of the first Jorge Paez-Calvin Grove world title fight's undercard.After his first loss, Zamudio returned to the United States, where on August 26, he outpointed 1-4 Ramon Solis over ten rounds at the Aviation Gym in Redondo Beach, California. He then clashed with future Danny Romero conqueror Willy Salazar in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, on September 30, 1988 for Salazar's NABF Light Flyweight title. Zamudio lost to the 31-14-1 Salazar by a ninth round technical knockout.Zamudio then outpointed Rafael Morales on November 11, 1988 at Mexicali, before fighting Jose Manuel Diaz on April 4, 1989 at the Great Western Forum, once again, in Los Angeles, California. Despite having a record of only 3 wins and 17 losses, Diaz was allowed to compete for the vacant WBA's Americas' Flyweight title. This was a rematch of Zamudio's win over Diaz only two months before, when Zamudio beat him by a ten round decision win. The second time around, Zamudio left no chances, as he stopped Diaz in only three rounds to win the WBA's crown. Zamudio and Diaz were both floored simultaneously in round three, but Zamudio got up first.After one more fight (a ten round decision win over Jorge Ortega), Zamudio defended his regional title for the first time, meeting Martin Cardenas on June 28, 1989 at San Diego. Zamudio defeated Cardenas by a 12 round unanimous decision.
