Yori Boy Campas still fighting...and winning

Perfect case of a fighter who can keep on fighting but he knows his limits and is fighting appropriate opposition.

 

105-17-3 (81)

9 KO losses

Looks better like that, sorry.

 

He can fight up until the day he dies if he keeps fighting 0-1 fighters.

 

That's not really the fighters record, boxrec just doesn't have the official numbers on a lot of the non-contenders.

I'm sad for Yori Boy. He's a fighter that's sustained alot of punishment during his career.
The guy is a ****ing fighter, I just dont look forward to seeing how intact his faculties might be in a few years. :?

 

well can't knock his hussle.

 

As long as he keeps on fighting taxi drivers he will be ok. Its good exercise. Tito finished that career long time ago.

 

Campas long ago earned the right to do whatever the **** he'd like, especially in the twilight of a centurion career.

 

What a chin that guy has/had. The Trinidad fight I seriously thought Tito was going to kill him!

 

:yep

 

Against John Duddy Campas hardly bothered to even try to block punches. To me it looked ugly and kind of unprofessional, but Campas was not far from knocking Duddy out in the last round.

The word is that these fights in Aug and Nov have been only tune up fights for Campas. He is supposingly taking his last fight in January against a guy called Anthony Bonsante (45 yr, 34-12-3) who also is planning to retire after this fight.. well.. he retired once in 2010 but returned to fight once in 2014, once 2015 and now they are planning this thing. Bonsante appeared in "The Contender" tv series.

Here's couple of articles referring to the planned January event:

Oh wow, I remember Bonsante.


I think his last televised bout was getting KTFO in under a minute by a young unknown (pre-Boone, still undefeated) Adonis Stevenson on FNF.

Before that he was on The Contender (losing to Jesse Brinkley & Ishe Smith legitimately, but getting robbed in the Brinkley rematch) and then pounded out by Allan Green.

Prior to his four loss skid he was best known for a shutout loss to Peter Manfredo Jr., and being the man to end scumbag Tony Ayala Jr.'s comeback via TKO11 - both on FNF>
