On November 9, 2002 Bantamweight Leon `Hurry Up’ Moore trampled Otis `Wonder Boy’ Zimmerman in two rounds to keep his knock out streak clean as a whistle. Moore had turned professional in August of the previous year and travelled to Curacao to fight in Zimmerman’s back yard. Moore floored his opponent five times before the referee called a halt to the carnage. With the second round stoppage, Moore improved his record to 3-0 with three knockouts.
He would develop into a potent force in the bantamweight and super bantamweight division and remained undefeated in 17 fights before receiving his first blemish.
The fight would be the last for Zimmerman. However, Moore would go on to win the WBC CABOFE super bantamweight and the NABA titles.
