BOXING FIGHTS OFFICIAL • GABRIEL FLASH ELORDE HIGHLIGHTS! THE GREAT FILIPINO CHAMPION OF THE 1960s! • • Gabriel Flash Elorde (March 25, 1935 – January 2, 1985) was a Filipino professional boxer. He won the lineal super featherweight title in 1960. In 1963, he won the inaugural WBC and WBA super featherweight titles. He holds the record at super featherweight division for longest title reign, spanning seven years. Elorde is considered one of the best Filipino boxers of all time along with eight-division champion Manny Pacquiao and Pancho Villa, flyweight champion in the 1920s. He was much beloved in the Philippines as a sports and cultural icon, being the first Filipino international boxing champion since middleweight champion Ceferino Garcia. • A southpaw, Flash Elorde was known for his boxing skills and speed. Writer Robert Lipsyte once described his style as the subtle little temple-dancer moves . He studied Balintawak Eskrima from his father Tatang Elorde who was the Eskrima champion of Cebu, from whom he learned his innovative footwork and maneuvers. Elorde's footwork from eskrima has been adopted by many boxers, including his friend Muhammad Ali, which influenced the out-boxer style of boxing. • • Thank you for watching • • SUBSCRIBE for more boxing fights. boxing highlights and boxing news. • • Click the notification bell for more boxing updates! • • Comment down below any suggestions, criticisms and recommendations. • • #FlashElorde • #boxinghighlights • #boxingfightsofficial • • • All the images and video clips are property of the owners.
