Timeline

1931

In his next fight, he defeated Remigio Molina (31–1) by knockout in the 6th round.

1976

Erik Isaac Morales Elvira (born September 1, 1976) is a Mexican former professional boxer who competed from 1993 to 2012.

He is the first Mexico-born boxer in history to win world championships in four weight classes, ranging from super bantamweight to light welterweight.

Morales defeated fifteen world champions during the course of his career, and is famous for his trilogies with fellow Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera, as well as Manny Pacquiao.

ESPN ranked Morales at number 49 on their list of the 50 greatest boxers of all time.

1993

Between 1993 and 1997, he quickly climbed the ranks in the super bantamweight division, winning 26 fights, 20 by knockout, including wins against former champions Kenny Mitchell and Hector Acero Sánchez, before challenging for his first world title.

It was during this time that he signed with promoter Bob Arum.

1996

Jones went into the battle with a daunting record against Mexican fighters of 35 victories and no losses, most notably including two victories over the previous champion, Marco Antonio Barrera, in 1996 and 1997.

Also noteworthy was that Jones was entering México for the first time to fight, and the fight was held at Tijuana.

The fight went on to three contested rounds, before Morales knocked out Jones with two consecutive overhead right crosses in the fourth round.

1997

On September 6, 1997, in El Paso, Texas, at the age of 21, he won his first world title by stopping WBC Super Bantamweight Champion and now member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Daniel Zaragoza, via knockout in eleven rounds.

In his first defense, Morales defeated John Lowey (24–2) by knockout in the seventh round.

1998

On May 16, 1998, he defeated former champion Jose Luis Bueno via knockout in the second round.

In September 1998, in another landmark fight, Morales knocked out former two-weight world champion Junior Jones of the United States.

1999

In October 1999, Morales fought and defeated former WBC Bantamweight Champion Wayne McCullough of Northern Ireland, saying that McCullough gave him one of the three toughest fights of his career.

2000

In February 2000, Morales defeated Marco Antonio Barrera to win the WBO Super Bantamweight title, in a fight that is now considered one of boxing's classics.

Morales won the fight by a controversial split decision.

It was an intense battle in which both fighters were cut and battered.

Many people thought Barrera had won the fight on a knockdown that he scored in the twelfth and final round.

After the fight, Morales said, "He was a brave fighter, and we both gave it all we had. We were both hurt during the fight. He was the biggest puncher I ever faced in the ring."

The Ring named it the Fight of the Year.

After nine successful title defenses, Morales chose to vacate his WBC Super Bantamweight title to move up to featherweight division.

In his second fight at this weight, he fought 33-year-old former world champion Kevin Kelley, in September 2000.

Kelley was knocked down in the fifth and seventh rounds, he was finally trapped in the latter round by a flurry of five consecutive uppercuts from Morales.

Supported only by the ropes, a sixth uppercut landed, and the fight was stopped.

Morales became the Interim WBC Featherweight Champion.

Morales fought again in 2000, knocking out Rodney Jones in the first round.

2001

In February 2001, he fought Guty Espadas Jr., the WBC Featherweight title holder with a thirteen fight winning streak, and whose father, Guty Espadas, Sr., was also a world champion boxer.

Morales won a close twelve-round decision to claim his third world title in his second weight division.

Although Morales was highly rated in the featherweight division, Naseem Hamed was seen as the Lineal Champion of the division.

In July 2001, Morales defeated future champion In Jin Chi of South Korea and retained his title.

Chi gave a strong effort, but Morales was the sharper, harder puncher and outworked him for much of the fight.

Morales was cut and swollen over the left eye in the sixth round by an accidental clash of heads and Chi was penalized one point in the tenth round.

2002

Morales then tasted defeat for the first time in his 42nd professional fight when he lost (this time) a controversial majority decision and his WBC title against Lineal Champion, Marco Antonio Barrera in June 2002, in a re-match of their February 2000 fight.

Morales constantly pressed forward and dominated much of the first half of the fight (clearly winning at least 4 of the first 6 rounds).

He was cut on the bridge of the nose in the 2nd round, and cut and swollen over his right eye in the 8th.

2018

Morales was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in June 2018.

Erik Morales was born in the Zona Norte section of Tijuana.

Under the tutelage of his father, José Morales, a fighter himself, Erik started boxing at the age of five and amassed a very impressive amateur career that totaled 114 fights (108–6), winning 11 major titles in Mexico in the process.

Morales made his professional debut at the age of 16 by knocking out Jose Orejel in two rounds.
