Carlos Enrique Hernández Ramos (April 21, 1940 – July 2, 2016) was a Venezuelan world champion professional boxer.[1] Known professionally as Carlos Morocho Hernandez (Carlos "Dark Haired" or, possibly, "Twin"[2] Hernandez), he ended his career following a TKO by Scottish boxer Ken Buchanan.

History

Carlos Enrique Hernandez Ramos was born on 21 April 1940, in the populous parish of La Pastora, Caracas. For the peculiarity of being dark-haired, was identified for most of his career as "Morocho", but also was known as "Kid Helicoide". His first triumphs in boxing came at the age of 15 years old, earning the titles of Champion of the Federal District and National Featherweight monarch. In his first international tournament, he was included in the Second World Amateur Boxing Championships held in Mexico, where he earned the "Ring of Diamonds"[clarification needed].

He was also champion of Central America and the Caribbean and was undefeated after 25 amateur fights. Following his amateur career, which he finished undefeated, he tried his hand at professional boxing, which seemed a more lucrative field to him.

The "Morocho" made the leap to professional boxing under the tutelage of Juancho Medina. His debut was on 25 January 1959 at Nuevo Circo de Caracas, against Felix Gil, at featherweight. On 18 January 1965, Carlos "Morocho" Hernández won the world light-welterweight championship, facing the American Eddie Perkins and giving Venezuela its first world champion.[3]

After a career of successes and excesses, Carlos "Morocho" Hernández, met the end and defeat when he faced, in London, on 11 May 1971 Scotsman Ken Buchanan, to whom Hernandez lost by TKO in the eighth round.

Death

Carlos "Morocho" Hernandez" died in Caracas, Venezuela, on July 2, 2016, due to health complications.[4][5]
