5. Wilfredo Gomez RSF5 Carlos Zarate (1978)
Before he ran into Sanchez, Gomez picked up one of his best wins when he routed Mexico’s Zarate in Puerto Rico.

Zarate was unbeaten in 52 contests, 51 coming early, prior to meeting Gomez and had dominated at bantamweight. The pair fought for Gomez’s WBC world super-bantam title, but Zarate was never really in the fight.

Dropped twice in the fourth, Zarate looked spent when the fifth started and while referee Harry Gibbs allowed Gomez to dismantle Zarate, the Mexican’s corner rightfully threw in the towel.
