A Tribute to Salvador Sanchez

Mario Miranda vs. Juan La Porte

World Featherweight Championship

September 15, 1982

An historic poster signifying the passing of the torch. Thirty-three days previous the masterful Featherweight Champion, Salvador Sanchez, died in a tragic automobile accident. Only twenty-three years old, the brilliant Sanchez had already completed ten successful title defenses. This night Juan LaPorte, who had been on the losing end of one those title defenses two years earlier, would knock out Mario Miranda in the tenth round and become the successor to the departed champion.
