Paulie Ayala Biography
Paulie Ayala is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on April 22, 1970 in Fort Worth, Texas, United States. He started 1997 by defeating Cuauhtemoc Gomez via decision in 12 rounds, winning his belt again as headliner at Tropicana Casino located in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Ayala was victorious in three more fights in 1997, beating the heavy handed boxer Nestor Lopez on a joint event on an HBO pay-per-view show, and also headlined the main event at The Orleans in Paradise, Nevada by winning a fifth round knockout victory over Roberto Lopez to retain the NABF belt. It was followed by a second HBO PPV appearance, in which Ayala was victorious in a unanimous decision over Ricardo Medina.
After a win against Ivan Salazar, Ayala began 1999 by beating David Vazquez by decision in ten. Unable to secure a rematch with Tatsuyoshi, Ayala nonetheless got his second chance at becoming a world champion, this time against WBA bantamweight champion Johnny Tapia. The fight took place in Las Vegas on June 26. Ayala handed Tapia his first career loss and became world champion by winning a twelve-round unanimous decision, in what turned out to be both Ayala’s Showtime debut and The Ring magazine’s Fight of the Year for 1999.
Ayala retained his title against WBA #1 contender Sithai Condo before the end of that year, earning The Ring magazine Fighter of the Year honours. In his second title defense, he defeated Johnny Bredahl via twelve-round decision. On October 7, 2000, Ayala and Tapia met in a rematch for the vacant IBA featherweight title, at a catchweight of 124 lbs. As with the first fight, this took place on Showtime. Due to Tapia being unable to make the bantamweight limit, Ayala’s WBA bantamweight title was not at stake. Ayala defeated Tapia once again by a twelve-round unanimous decision, a result which was seen as controversial.
Ayala only fought twice during 1996. Both victories for the NABF title. In the first fight, Ayala knocked out Roland Gomez in seven rounds but was forced to take a 7-month absence due to a broken Hand. In October, Ayala beat Ivan Alvarez via decision in 12 rounds to keep title NABF bantamweight belt.
He took every one of his fights with one of them being a win over the veteran Lee Cargle. Cargle was eliminated by Ayala in the third round. 1995 was a year of success for Ayala who was victorious in every fight he fought and also the first time he won a regional championship fight. In beating Mike Espinoza by knockout in three rounds at the Fort Worth Convention Center, Ayala won his NABF bantamweight champion title. He was able to defend it twice prior to the close of the year, defeating Mario Diaz and Sergio Millan both via decision over 12 rounds.
At the beginning of 1998, Ayala was very close to a world championship bout. Fighting two more bouts, he received his first chance at a world title by becoming the mandatory contender for the WBC belt. Ayala then traveled to Japan to challenge WBC bantamweight champion Joichiro Tatsuyoshi on August 23. Ayala lost the fight by a sixth-round technical decision when the fight was stopped due to a cut. Tatsuyoshi came out fast in the opening rounds, but Ayala rallied back to win the fifth and sixth rounds unanimously. During the fight, an accidental clash of heads caused a cut and Ayala was docked 2 points. The fight was stopped in round seven due to the severity of the cut, sending the decision to the scorecards and thereby handing victory to Tatsuyoshi.
