He then stopped the awesome Wilfredo Gomez and became the only man ever to beat Azumah Nelson as a Featherweight when he stopped him too. Three weeks after that bout he was killed in an automobile accident at the age of just 23. The world missed out on possible Gomez and Nelson rematches, plus a unification with Eusebio Pedroza, a match with Barry McGuigan and maybe even a Super-Featherweight match-up with JC Chavez. Tragic „
