Hector Luis Camacho, one of five siblings, was born to Maria and Hector Camacho on May 24, 1962. Originally from Bayamon, Puerto Rico, the Camacho family moved to the east side of Manhattan, in 1967. Spanish Harlem, one of New York’s more demanding neighborhoods, was the environmental catalyst for what was to become Hectors’ calling. “When you grow up in the ghetto, you’ve got to be tough or fast” Camacho recalls, “Lucky for me, I was both!”

Camacho attended Catholic school, “…but I’m no choirboy,” he’s quick to remind, “I spent most of my time at The Boys Club; I wanted to be like Bruce Lee.” His drive and determination earned him a second-degree Black belt in American Go-Ju.

In 1978, Hector fathered the first of four sons; Hector "Macho" Camacho, Jr. Hector Jr., a/k/a “Machito,” (Spanish for little macho,) is also a professional boxer, who at 26 years old currently boasts a record of 37-1-0, (20-KO).The three younger Camacho's Justin, MC and Tyler show promise in the sports arena. Justin plays basketball, MC is an up and coming Boxer, and Tyler also boxes. The 4 Camacho boys are Macho's pride and joy.

A three-time Golden Gloves Champion, Hector Camacho, Sr. began his formal boxing training at a local school. His natural talent and dedication to the sport secured him the World Championship at age 17, making him the second youngest World Champion in boxing history. Hector Camacho is 5’7”, and generally weighs in at 160 lbs. Although naturally right-handed, both he and his son box as southpaws.

The boisterous and ostentatious, Hector “Macho” Camacho went undefeated for more than 11 years. Throughout his career, he has defeated some very formidable opponents, including Rafael “Bazooka” Limón, Roberto Duran, Vinnie Pazienza, Ray “Boom-Boom” Mancini and “Sugar” Ray Leonard. By the end of 1996, he sported an impressive record of 64-3-1, (32) by knockout. Despite the three losses, “The Macho Man” was never knocked down or knocked out!

In 1997, Macho returned to the ring, and went the distance with Oscar de la Hoya. Despite the unfavorable decision, as Camacho puts it: “I’m no quitter!” and in 1998 he successfully defended his IBC Jr. Middleweight Title against Tony Menefee; a title that Camacho still holds today.

On July 14, 2001, Hector added the NBA Super-Middleweight title belt to his collection, by defeating Roberto Duran in a long-awaited rematch. “The Macho Man” is now an eight-time World Champion, in six different weight classes; there are no other boxers in the world that can make that claim.

Boxing fans everywhere know exactly what time it is when Hector Camacho steps into the ring… Its Macho Time!





Ronald Lamont "Winky" Wright (born November 26, 1971, in Washington, DC) former undisputed light middleweight world champion and a current middleweight contender.

After his 2nd round knockout of Carlos Santana on July 30, 1992, in St. Petersburg, Florida, the ring announcer called him "Winky" Wright, the name given to him by his grandmother when he was 18 months old. The nickname stuck for the rest of his career.

Big time promoters like Don King and Lou Duva would not promote Wright in the early part of his career. His first big time promoters were the French based Acaries brothers, who struck a deal for Wright to fight Darryl Lattimore in Luxembourg on January 1, 1993. Wright knocked Lattimore down three times, and the fight was stopped. Wright went on a tear during his tour of Europe, winning 8 straight in France, Germany, Monte Carlo, only fighting in the United States once over the next year.

On August 21, 1994, Wright received his first title match against WBA Light Middleweight titleholder Julio Cesar Vasquez in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France. Although he was 25-0 at the time, Wright had not fought in a match that had gone more than 8 rounds. His inexperience showed as Winky lost a unanimous decision, with Vasquez knocking down Wright in the second, seventh, ninth, and twice in the round 12.

On February 4, 1995, Wright defeated Tony Marshall by unanimous decision, winning the NABF Middleweight Championship.

Wright continued fighting in Europe, only fighting in the United States once, until his unanimous decision victory against Andrew Council on March 5, 1996. His impressive win opened the door to fight WBO Light Middleweight champion Bronco McKart, a fight Wright won by split decision. He continued to tour the world, fighting and winning fights in South Africa and England.

After breaking with the Acaries brothers in 1999, citing that he was tired of all the travel, Wright knocked out Derrick Graham in the third round in Miami, Florida. This set the stage for his first major fight against IBF Jr. Middleweight Champion Fernando Vargas. Although some ringside fans and members of the media felt Wright won the fight, Vargas won a controversial majority decision.

Wright continued to defend the NABF and won the USBA light middleweight title in another decision over Bronco McKart.

Winky beat Mosley in both of their bouts.Felix Trinidad's jump to the middleweight division left the IBF junior middleweight title vacant. Wright scored a unanimous decision over Robert Frazier on October 12, 2001, to win his first major boxing championship. In his first defence on February 2, 2002, Wright stopped Jason Papillion in the fifth round. He took a third fight against Bronco McKart, which ended in controversy as the referee disqualified McKart for repeated low blows in the 8th round.

Wright's Las Vegas debut was against Juan Carlos Candelo on March 1, 2003. Wright won an unanimous decision. He followed that up with another blow-out victory over Angel Hernandez 8 months later.

To the surprise of many including Wright, Shane Mosley challenged Winky to a junior middleweight unification fight on March 13, 2004. Mosley was a celebrated fighter coming off his second win against Oscar de la Hoya. Wright beat Mosley soundly with his effective jabbing and defence, winning a lopsided unanimous decision, winning the Ring Magazine light middleweight championship of the world and became the division's first undisputed champion in 29 years, and the first man to hold the IBF, WBA, and WBC junior Middlweight titles simultaneously. The rematch took place on November 20, 2004. This fight was much closer, with one judge scoring the bout a draw. However, the other two judges scored 115-113 and gave the majority decision to Wright.

Trinidad lost all 12 rounds when he fought Wright.On May 14, 2005, he defeated Felix Trinidad by unanimous decision. Trinidad was a fan favourite and a feared power puncher, and many figured he would be able to knock Wright out. Instead, Wright's jab and defence once again prevailed, and Wright won a unanimous decision (120-107 and 119-108 on two scorecards) to establish himself as a top contender to challenge for the WBC middleweight championship. Wright's dominance over such a highly regarded opponent led to many placing him among the top two pound-for-pound boxers in the world, just behind Floyd Mayweather Jr. Wright's victory sent Trinidad into his second and 3 year retirement. Shortly after the Trinidad fight, Wright formed his own promotional boxing firm Winky Wright Promotions.

After winning a unanimous decision over Sam Soliman in December 2005, Wright faced off against undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor on June 17, 2006, at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee for the WBA, WBC, and WBO titles. In a close fight, the match was ruled a draw. Two judges scored the bout 115-113 for each fighter, while the final judge scored it a 114-114 draw. Once the decision was announced, Winky stormed out of the ring, upset that he was not awarded the decision. When interviewed later, he refused a rematch with Taylor, stating that he was going to get the same result.

Both camps attempted at negotiating a rematch, but talks failed after neither side could agree on how to split the money - a problem attributed to Wright's insistence on parity and Taylor's reluctance to give 50 percent to a non-champion.

Wright's last fight came against Bernard Hopkins. They fought at 170 pounds on July 21, 2007. The bout aired on HBO Pay-per-view. A head butt (ruled unintentional) by Hopkins left a deep gash over Wright's eyebrow from the 3rd round. Hopkins seemed content to out-box Wright with well-timed jabs and combinations on the outside, although Wright did cause Hopkins trouble in the middle rounds. Hopkins won on the judges' score cards 116-112, 117-111, 117-111. It was Winky's first loss in over 8 years.
