GUYANESE junior middleweight boxer Brian Muller secured his 18th professional victory on September 18, 1985. Muller TKOed American resident Humberto De Los Rios in the third round of a fight, staged at the Forum in Inglewood, California, USA. Rios was knocked down in the second round and referee Marty Denkins called a halt to the encounter at two minutes 38 seconds of the third round. The fight was one of five that Muller had at the venue during a one-year period.
Muller joined the professional ranks in February 1979 at the age of 24. A master of the art, the southpaw Muller would be remembered for epic battles against Reggie Ford, Mark Harris, Albert Browne and the legendary Lennox Beckles.
Muller twice battled Harris, Browne and Ford. In 1982 he pounded out back-to-back victories over Brown, while he drew with Ford in December 1979 and won on points in February 1983.
Muller was undefeated in nine fights when he met Mark Harris for the second time. The fight was held in December 1980 and Harris became the first and only Guyanese to defeat Muller when he won the 12-rounder by split decision.
Muller, a Cancer-born southpaw, followed up by securing 12 consecutive victories before he suffered another loss. His seven-year career produced 20 wins (11 KOs) three defeats and one draw. Muller now resides in Las Vegas, Nevada.
