	Science Fair Projects - Eder Jofre
		Eder Jofre (born March 26, 1936), is a Brazilian former boxer, whom many consider to be the best Brazilian boxer of all time.
		A native of Sao Paulo, Jofre, whose nicknames were "The Golden Bantam" and "Jofrinho", made his professional debut on March 23, 1957, beating Raul Lopez by knockout in five rounds.
		Jofre retained the title with a knockout in three rounds in a fourth fight with Miranda, and, after one more win, he made his American debut, defeating top ranked challenger Jose Medel by knockout in ten on August 16 at Los Angeles.

	Eder Jofre (011505) - OOTP Developments Forums
		Jofre, like Ray Robinson, was a supreme stylist and a picture book boxer with a big punch.
		Eder was very patient in the ring and liked to feel his way during the early rounds looking for weaknesses.
		Jofre was a very intelligent fighter who could change his style to adjust to any kind of opponent.

	Eder Jofre
		Jofre tried hard to finish the fight in the second round and it appeared he might do it, as he was punching with precision and power.

		Jofre was weary and beaten when he answered the bell for the final round, while the champion still appeared fresh.

		In an era of Jofre, Duran, Napoles, Monzon, Foster and Foreman Cervantes is grossly underrated and ignored.
		Despite having Jofre, Duran, Cervantes, Napoles, Monzon, Foster and Foreman in the ’74 side’, they (the 74 era) can only sneak the series 6-5 against the class of 2004; see boxing today is not that bad.

		Eder Jofre registered 24 knockouts in his first 37 fights with three draws (2 disputed) blemishing an otherwise perfect record on his way to the world title.
		Eder was stripped of the crown for failing to defend it against the WBC's mandatory challenger in 1974.
		In evaluating the career of Eder Jofre I hope to give you my opinion of his historical standing by chronicling his career from his birth in a gym to his enshrinement into The International Boxing Hall of Fame.

	Title Bout Championship Boxing
		Eder was favored to win a gold medal, but lost a narrow decision in the bantamweight semi-finals to Chile’s Claudio Barrientos (He later avenged this loss in the professional ranks by kayoing Barrientos in eight rounds).
		Eder later said that winning the NBA title gave him an empty feeling because he had always wanted to win the title from the last man to hold the championship.
		Eder maintained his standard of excellence in the first half of 1963 with two stirring title defenses five weeks apart against Katsuyoshi Aoki (with a ring record of 34-1) in Tokyo, Japan; and Johnny Jamito (with a ring record of 38-3-1) in Quezon City, Philippines.

		Eder Jofre struck a blow for vegetarians everywhere in his magnificent 19 year career.
		But by May 1965, Jofre was having severe problems making the weight and he paid the price against tough Japanese Fighting Harada, who dropped him early before withstanding a spirited comeback from the Brazilian to win a split decision.
		Jofre lost their rematch on a unanimous verdict in June 1966 and retired from the sport.

	The Cyber Boxing Zone
		By 1965, Jofre had been wanting to retire for a couple of years, but hadn't because he was such a national hero in Brazil.
		Jofre's feat of regaining a world title at such an advanced age (for a lighter weight fighter), easily equals Big George's kayo of Michael Moorer.
		Today, Jofre is the mayor of San Paolo, one of the most populated cities in the world.

	Boxing Scene Forums - Best Comeback In History.
		How about the greatest bantamweight of all-time, Eder Jofre, at the age of 37 (which is ancient for a fighter of that size), coming back after a three year layoff and winning the featherweight championship from Jose Legra...and then going undefeated for the rest of his boxing career?
		Eder Jofre's comeback at the age of 37 is probably the most impressive; and to do so against a fighter like Legra, then defend it against Vicente Saldivar is simply mind boggling.
		Jofre first retired after losing to fellow hall of famer, Fighting Harada, in 1966.

		Rakkietgym somehow remained upright in the 2nd, but he never was the same fighter, as Pereira continued to unload with both hands to notch the victory.
		With the win, Pereira becomes the third Brazilian following the legendary bantamweight and featherweight king Eder Jofre and most recently Acelino Freitas to capture a world championship.
		Despite losing a point for low blows in the 10th round, Pereira, nevertheless, dominated the scoring on all three judge's scorecards by a commanding margin.

		After exchanging punches early in the first round, Jofre bobbed and weaved, looking for an opening, and finally unloaded a crushing combination to the head and body, followed by a jolting left hook that sent Caldwell to the canvas for the count out.
