| Six Hundred SeventyFirst in the Famous People (FP) Series - Davey Moore |
 |
David S. "Davey" Moore (November 1, 1933 – March 25, 1963) was an American world-champion boxer who fought professionally 1953–1963.
From the beginning of his career through 1956 Moore fought a total of 29 bouts, with a total record of 22-5-1, and 1 no contest. Beginning with his April 10, 1957 fight against Gil Cadilli, Moore had an 18-bout winning streak, ending when he lost to Carlos Morocho Hernández on March 17, 1960 with a TKO. March 14, 1960, won match against Bob Gassey in first round, as a result of the knockout, Gassey lost all but 2 teeth. It was during this period, on March 18, 1959 that Moore won the World Featherweight Title from Hogan "Kid" Bassey. Moore retained the title through the remainder of his career, defending it successfully 5 times, and losing it to Sugar Ramos on March 21, 1963.
Moore was scheduled to face Mexican Sugar Ramos in July, 1962 at Dodger stadium but a torrential typhoon-like rainstorm hit Los Angeles on the night of the fight and the fight was postponed until March 21, 1963. It was shown on national television. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric with anticipation, the sound of conga drums filling the air as it was a pro Ramos crowd as many Mexicans came to root for their fighter. Both fighters were devastating punchers and rocked each other frequently. In the tenth round Ramos landed a powerful right hook to Moore's head sending him falling backward into the bottom rope where he struck the base of his neck injuring his brain stem. He lost the fight by a knockout but was able to give a clear-headed interview before he left the ring.
In the dressing room he fell into a coma from which he never emerged, dying several days later.
