The Z Boys fight revisited 

Carlos Zarate and Alfonso Zamora who were respectively undefeated WBC and WBA bantamweight champions fought at Inglewood Forum on April 23rd 1977 and Carlos prevailed with a fourth round KO victory.

Pepe Sulaiman has made a film about these two great champions, talking about the intense rivalry which later transformed into a friendship.

The two went up into the ring with bandaged hands with famed sports journalist Fernando Schwartz as the arbiter/ Referee, as both demonstrated the techniques and strategies, being prudent to pull their punches and commentate, rather than compete this time around.

Legendary Esto journalist José Luis Camarillo who has more than fifty years reporting boxing provided sage, in depth analysis, of all the factors, history and the story behind the story.

The heat of battle has long since warmed into respectful friendship.The screening was in Reynosa in advance of Saturday’s Mega Boxing card there. Carlos and Alfonso sat side by side during the film. And after it finished the hugged. Once rivals. Now and forever friends.
