Cornelius Boza-Edwards won the WBC world Jr. Lightweight title from Rafael Limon with a fifteen round decision in 1981 at Stockton, California , this after Limon, a Mexican , had made his infamous ''You know what happens to British boxers when they face Mexicans'' comment, in a reference to the fight between Lupe Pintor and Johnny Owens , after which Owens lost his life. Boza-Edwards knocked out Bobby Chacon in thirteen rounds in his first defense, but then, he lost the title to Rolando Navarrete , by knockout in round five. Boza-Edwards also fought to, and lost against, other world champions such as Alexis Arguello by knockout in eight, Hector Camacho by decision in twelve, and Rocky Lockridge , by decision in ten.
