Romeo Anaya

Romeo Anaya (5 April 1946 – 24 December 2015) was a Mexican professional boxer who competed from 1967 to 1980, holding the Lineal and WBA bantamweight titles from 1973 to 1974.

[2] On November 3, 1973, Anaya met Arnold Taylor in a match refereed by Stanley Christodoulou in Johannesburg.

Nevertheless, Taylor also cut the champion, and, in round fourteen, he connected with a right hand to Anaya's jaw, sending him to the floor.

Feeling that this was his moment to become a world champion, Taylor screamed to his trainers: "He's gone!"

It took Anaya two minutes to get up, and Taylor won the Lineal and WBA bantamweight titles.
