Cruz Carbajal (born 3 May 1974) is a Mexican former professional boxer who competed from 1992 to 2012. He is the younger brother of Hall of Fame boxer Michael Carbajal. Carbajal may have his last name spelled as "Carvajal", as he stated he prefers the Spanish spelling of his last name instead.[1]

Professional career

[edit]

After making his debut in 1992, Carbajal won 14 of his first 17 fights. He suffered six consecutive losses mid-way through his career, including decisions to future world champions Johnny Bredahl, Lehlohonolo Ledwaba and Néstor Garza, and knockout losses to Samson Dutch Boy Gym and Julio Ceja.

WBO bantamweight title

[edit]

Carbajal captured the WBO bantamweight title from Mauricio Martinez in March 2002. He made two successful defences of the title, against Danny Romero and Gerardo Espinoza, before losing it to Ratanachai Sor Vorapin.[2]
