to Gonzalez, who by now was tired, in round six, connecting strong punches to the head and causing swelling around one of Gonzalez's eyes. Still, Carbajal felt that he had to do more to win the bout. As both fighters were looking for a defining, knockout punch they traded punches in the seventh round, as they say in boxing, "toe to toe". During one of these exchanges, Carbajal unexpectedly landed a right uppercut to Gonzalez's chin, leaving him paralyzed on his feet. As Gonzalez did not move from his stand for the next couple of seconds, Carbajal took advantage and moved to the right, adding a left to Gonzalez's face that would make Gonzalez fall to the canvas on his back. The referee counted Gonzalez out, giving Carbajal the fight by a seventh-round knockout. The aftermath Michael Carbajal defended the IBF and WBC world junior flyweight titles twice before his second fight with Gonzalez. The pair fought three fights, with Gonzalez winning the next two, one in Los Angeles and another one in Mexico City, but both of Gonzalez's wins came by controversial decision and the two sequels to fight one between Carbajal and Gonzalez were considered to be boring fights by fans and writers alike. Gonzalez retired after losing the IBF and WBC belts to Saman Sorjaturong in 1995. Carbajal, for his part, kept on winning, and losing, world titles until his last fight, when he knocked out Jorge Arce in eleven rounds at Tijuana in 1999 to regain the WBO version of the world junior flyweight championship. Michael Carbajal and Humberto González were both elected as members of the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2006.
