Jorge Castro (boxer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Jorge "locomotora" Castro (Spanish: locomotive), (born August 18, 1967 in Caleta Olivia, Santa Cruz province) is an Argentine boxer and former Middleweight champion of the world, but who will probably be remembered, more than anything, for what happened in his second defense of the title. |
 | | Castro, who in 1985 was set to become a professional boxer but suffered a bicycle accident that left him injured so badly that doctors told him he'd never be able to fight as a professional, recuperated from the accident and turned professional, defying the doctor's predictions, in 1987. |
 | | Castro was trailing badly on all three scorecards, with one eye closed and the other one only halfway opened, bleeding and taking combination after combination against the ropes, when the referee went in to stop the fight. |
