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. Paul Anthony “Paulie” Ayala (born on April 22nd in 1970) is an American professional boxer who was the holder of his NABF as well as the WBA bantamweight titles as well as also the IBO super bantamweight championship. In 1999, he was selected as “Fighter of the Year” by The Ring magazine for his first fight with Johnny Tapia, which also earned him “Fight of the Year” distinctions.

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.

At the beginning of 1998, Ayala was very close to a world championship bout.

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.
