Thursday June 4th, 1992
Kings Hall; Belfast, Ireland
Dave “Boy” McAuley 19-3-3 (8) Ireland
vs.
Ysaias Zamudio 31-4-1 (10) Mexico
The 7,000 seat Kings Hall in Belfast, Ireland was sold out as the Irish boxing fans came out to cheer on native son Dave McAuley in his attempt to make a final run at the Fly Weight World Championship. McAuley would have a stern test in front of him in Mexico’s Ysaias Zamudio, who had gone an impressive 3-1 (1) during “Team Championship” matches. Nicknamed “Kid Showtime”, the resident of Blythe, California, but born in Mexico, had become a fan favorite at the “Great Western Forum”, while emerging as a top contender in the fly weight division.

After being stopped inside of 2 rounds in his last fight vs. Rodolfo Blanco, there were many questions surrounding McAuley for this fight. The main one being, were his best days as a fighter now behind him? In order to beat Zamudio, the best McAuley would need to be in the ring.

McAuley was all over Zamudio with constant pressure during the first 3 rounds. Zamudio fought back on even terms until late in the 3rd, when he was hurt on two occasions. With one second remaining until the bell the bell, the referee intervened to save Zamudio from further punishment. This was a very impressive comeback win for McAuley! He’ll next challenge Pat Clinton for the WBO strap in his quest to become the undisputed FLY WEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION.
