Lonnie Smith (boxer)

Harlan Alonso Smith, known as Lonnie Smith (born November 5, 1962 in Denver, CO), is an American boxer at Light Welterweight.

Professional career

Known as "Lightning" Lonnie, Smith turned pro in 1980 and was undefeated in his first 23 fights, including a win over undefeated Billy Costello to capture the WBC Light Welterweight Title in 1985. He lost the title in his first defense to Rene Arredondo via 5th round TKO. In 1991 he took on WBC Light Welterweight Title holder Julio Cesar Chavez, but lost a one-sided decision. Smith never again fought for a title, and retired in 1999 after a loss to Diosbelys Hurtado with a record of 45-6-2.
