Over the course of his career, he fought a total of 57 fights, winning 51, losing 5, drawing 1, and having no no-contests. He was known for his impressive knockout power, having delivered 40 KO wins throughout his career.
González made his professional boxing debut on January 21, 1989, at the young age of 18, against Serafin Pacheco, whom he defeated via 5th round KO. He then went on to amass an impressive 40-fight win streak, including 30 wins via stoppage, which is a testament to his excellent boxing skills and his ability to finish fights.
At the age of 21, after just 25 professional fights, González had his first world title fight against Wilfrido Rocha on August 24, 1992, for the lightweight WBC (vacant) title. He won the fight via 9th round TKO, becoming the lightweight champion of the world, and setting the tone for his future fights.
One of González's most memorable moments was when he won his first world title, which signaled the start of an illustrious career. He fought some of the best boxers in the world and managed to come out on top despite some tough challenges. His other notable victories include wins over Calvin Grove, Jean-Baptiste Mendy, Juan Soberanes, Kenny Baysmore, Roberto Granciosa, Samuel Kamau, and Leavander Johnson.
González won two world titles at two different weight classes, which is a testament to his versatility and his ability to adapt to different opponents. He won the WBC lightweight title and the WBC super-lightweight title, which he held for a total of 11 title defenses. He won six of these title defenses via KO, highlighting his aggressive boxing style and his ability to finish fights early.
However, González also suffered some losses throughout his career, with five losses in total. Four of these losses were in title bouts, while one was a non-title bout. His first loss was against Oscar De La Hoya via 12 round unanimous decision, which ended his 41-fight win streak. González was stopped twice and lost three times via decision, but he always managed to bounce back with determination and resilience.
Despite his impressive record, one of González's most significant achievements was his super-welterweight title defense bout against Ulises Duarte on October 7, 2006, which marked his last professional fight. González won the fight via a 10th round TKO and successfully defended his WBC title, cementing his legacy as one of the best boxers of his generation.
In conclusion, Miguel Ángel González was an accomplished boxer who left behind an impressive legacy.
