Gilberto Román (29 November 1961 – 27 June 1990) was a Mexican boxer in the Super Flyweight division and a member of the 1980 Mexican Olympic team.[1] Román was a two-time WBC Super Flyweight Champion and is considered by many fans to be one of the great champions in this division.[2] Gilberto was trained by Boxing Hall of Famer Ignacio Beristáin.[3]

Amateur career

As an amateur boxer he won some Mexican National Championships and was a member of the 1980 Mexican Olympic team. He fought with Ezequiel Cano Molina, from Naranjos, Veracruz, México, and with many other important amateur boxers.[4]

Professional career

WBC Super Flyweight Championship

In 1986, Román dethroned Jiro Watanabe of Japan as the WBC Super Flyweight Champion. In 1985, Roman had lost two fights early in the year and many thought his days of being a contender would be over. However, he reeled off eight straight wins to earn the fight with Watanabe, and won a twelve-round decision.[5]

WBA Super Flyweight Championship

As champion, Román made seven title defences. One of these was a draw against former WBA Flyweight Champion Santos Laciar (30 August 1986). Nine months later, Roman and Laciar met again on 16 May 1987, with Laciar taking the title by eleventh-round knockout.[6]

Regaining title

Sugar Baby Rojas took the title from Laciar and Román earned another title shot against the new champion. On 8 April 1988, Román regained the title with a twelve-round decision.[7]

Román made five more defences, including victories in rematches over his former nemesis Laciar, Juan Carazo and Rojas.[8] Following his victory over Laciar, Román lost the title to Ghana's Nana Konadu on 7 November 1989. Konadu lost the title to Sung-Kil Moon, whom Román challenged on 9 June 1990, losing by a TKO in the ninth round. That was Román's last fight, as he was killed in an automobile accident less than three weeks later.[9]

Román had a record of 54 wins, 6 losses and 1 draw, with 35 wins by knockout.[10]
