Sunday Punch: Juan Meza sparks out Jaime Garza with lethal left hook

How about we go to the little guys for this weekend’s Sunday Punch?

Jaime Garza was an undefeated, fearsome knockout artist and holder of the WBC super-bantamweight (122 lbs) belt. He won the title in 1983 after an early knockdown against Bobby Berna, ultimately stopping him in three rounds. After a successful defense against Felipe Orozco, Garza took on Mexico’s Juan Meza on CBS Sports Spectacular on November 3rd, 1984 in Kingston, New York. Fireworks were expected and fans were treated to a one-round thriller.

The power of Garza went into immediate effect when he floored Meza with a left hook.
