Early life
After qualifying as a dental technician,[2] De La Mora is currently majoring in media studies at the University Center of Tijuana.[3]
Professional career
De La Mora is managed by Antonio Lozada Sr. and trains under Romulo Quirarte's guidance.[4]
In April of 2010, De La Mora beat veteran Jovanny Soto by T.K.O. to win the WBC FECARBOX Bantamweight Championship. The bout was the main-event of a Televisa boxing card at the Palenque of Morelos Park in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.[5]
WBA Bantamweight Championship
De La Mora fought against Kōki Kameda for the WBA Bantamweight Championship in front of 9,500 spectators (announced by the organizer)[6] at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan, on August 31, 2011.[4] He opened a cut above Kameda's left eye with his right cross in the third round, but was knocked down once in the same round. As a result, he lost via a unanimous decision on the judges' scorecards. The three judges' scores were 113–114, 113–115 and 112–115.[7]
This card was staged by Kameda Promotions whose president is Kōki Kameda himself,[8] as the TBS televised co-main event to Hugo Cázares vs. Tomonobu Shimizu. Antonio Lozada Sr. protested the decisions of the judges of those two title bouts, especially Kameda vs. De La Mora, and stated he would send a letter to the WBA.[9]
