History of Michael Carbajal Boxing Career

Seven months after the Olympics, in February 1989, Michael Carbajal made his boxing debut in front of a national television audience as part of the card where Duran became a four-time world champion by beating Iran Barkley in Atlantic City. In his first boxing fight, Michael Carbajal outboxed another future world boxing champion, Will Grigsby. Michael Carbajal followed that win with a spectacular first-round knockout of Silviano Perez on NBC. In his tenth bout, he met the former WBO world boxing champion Pedro Feliciano, handling him a ten-round beating. Four more wins followed, and Michael Carbajal was presented with an opportunity to fight for a world boxing championship. He then fought a highly anticipated unification boxing match with WBC champion Humberto González on March 13, 1993. Michael Carbajal and Gonzalez became the first Junior Flyweights in history to earn a million dollar purse, and it was the first Junior Flyweight championship bout to headline a Pay Per View event. Michael Carbajal was downed in rounds 2 and 5, and he was bleeding from his right eyebrow when he blasted a tremendous left hand to the side of Gonzalez's chin in the seventh round. Gonzalez turned sideways, and Carbjal landed another right hand that sent him to the canvas. Gonzalez could not beat the count, and Michael Carbajal had unified the world's Junior Flyweight championship in The Ring's fight of the year. He would also be named fighter of the year for 1993.
