Jorge Castro was a prominent boxer whose professional career spanned over 19 years from 1987 to 2007. Throughout his career, he participated in a total of 144 fights, which consisted of 130 wins, 11 losses, and 3 draws. He also had 90 knockout wins under his belt, showcasing his raw strength and skill in the ring.
Castro started his professional boxing journey at the young age of 19 against Patricio German Caracci, which he won in the first round via knockout. After 71 fights, he got his first world title bout, where he fought against Terry Norris for the WBC title at 24 years old. Unfortunately, he lost that fight via a unanimous decision.
However, that did not deter Castro from pursuing his goals, and he later managed to win the WBA middleweight title from Reggie Johnson on August 12, 1994. He won the fight by beating Johnson in a 12 round split-decision, cementing his status as a top-tier boxer in the ring.
One of Castro's most notable victories includes defeating boxing Hall-of-Famer Roberto Durán, Alejandro "Alex" Ramos, Francisco de Assis, Sergio Martin Beaz, Juan Italo Meza, Wilberforce Kiggundu, Jacobo Garcia, and Jose Luis Herrera, among others. These victories prove Castro's skills, talent, and determination in the boxing world.
Despite losing 11 times in his career, only four of his losses occurred in title fights. He had seven losses in non-title bouts throughout his career. His first loss was against Lorenzo Luis Garcia on June 10, 1989, via a 10 round PTS, which ended his incredible 37-match winning streak.
Castro's professional boxing career was marked by his grit and determination, both in the ring and in his long-term goals. He fought until the very end, winning his last non-title rematch against Jose Luis Herrera on January 27, 2007, with a 2nd round TKO. He retired from professional boxing as a one-title winner with a record of 130-11-3, including 90 knockout wins under his belt.
Castro's career highlights span over three fights. His first world title fight was against Terry Norris on December 13, 1991. He was fighting for the WBC super-welterweight title, which he lost via a 12 round unanimous decision. Then, on August 12, 1994, he defeated Reggie Johnson to win the WBA middleweight title, cementing his position as one of the top boxers in the world. Finally, on November 5, 1994, he defended his newly won title against Alex Ramos, winning the fight via a 2nd round KO.
Overall, Jorge Castro's boxing career was filled with highlights, high-intensity lows, and moments of pure determination and raw talent in the ring. He won the hearts of many boxing fans around the world, and his name remains at the forefront of boxing conversations, inspiring future generations of boxers to come.
