Then a guy with a short career but some decent opponents...

John Lyttle
5 wins / 1 loss / 0 draws / 2 KO

Hometown: Belfast, N.Ireland

RAting by: Rocco Del Sesto

BoxRec shows only 6 fights for Lyttle all in 1954. The first 5 were from January through April. He stopped Johnny Zedd(1-8-0,1 nobody to speak of) in 3rd round TKO, then won an 8 round decision over Hugh Ferns, and 8th round TKO over George Stern(18-10-0,9KO) a decent lefty from Scotland, and then won an 8 round decision over Wally Curtis. Less then two weeks after beating Curtis, in late April Lyttle then lost for the first time, an 8 round decision to Ron Harman.

Then Lyttle doesn't fight until November of that year when he wins another 8 round decision, this one against a Dennis Lockton(2-17-0,0). After that, nothing else on Lyttle. Except for the bookends Zedd and Lockton, Lyttle took on with good results 4 fairly decent opponents. You wonder why the sudden exit or is there more to his career to be unearthed?

Angel Cassano Rating 1 Argentina
Heavyweight 1948-54
32 wins / 8 losses / 6 draws / 27 KO

Birthplace: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

Cassano exhibited a pretty good punch with the 27 KO's but also his chin would be suspect with 7 stoppages in his 8 losses. Cassano made a career building this nice looking record against the bottom of the barrel competition in mostly argentina. He fought a couple times in Peru, one fight loosing by 8th round TKO to a Sampson Powell(21-9-1,13KO), a middleweight from Cleveland, Ohio. His next fight after Sampson he did beat a Pilar Bastida(21-13-5,10KO) another middleweight, this fight in Uruguay.

Those were the only two bouts against anyone of any kind of record until what turned out to be his last 3 career fights. In June 1953 he fought undefeated(24-0-1) Dogomar Martinez loosing a 12 round decision to Martinez. This one fight and his record then apparently earned him a shot at the Argentine HW Title in decemeber of that year against Reinaldo Ansaloni. That title had been vacated when Lovell was stripped of it. Cassano was no match for Ansaloni who KO'd him in the 4th round. Cassano climbed back into the ring one more time in Feb 1954 getting KO'd out in the 8th round in another fight with Dogomar Martinez.


This guy is going to perform great to his record against the bottom of the barrel competition but not much anything else.

Rodolfo Luciano Diaz Rating 2 Argentina
Heavyweight 1958-65
21 wins / 8 losses / 1 draw / 10 KO

Hometown: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

With a 7-2-1 record (the 2 losses 10 round decisions to Mauro Mina), in November 1959 Diaz knocked out Guillermo Dutschmann in the 3rd round to take the Argentine LHW Title that had been vacated by Atilio Caraune's retirement. Diaz successfully defended the title in April 1960 with a 12 round UD against Jose Angel Manzur. After 3 more wins in the LHW division against Hugo Medina, Manzur and Jerry Luedee, Diaz weighted up to heavyweight for the last half of his career. It started out well with an 8th round TKO of Clarence Floyd, but then 3 straight losses in 1961 followed against Von Clay, Lino Rendon and Tony Hughes.

Diaz mounted a short comeback in 1962 with a 10th round TKO victory over Tony Alongi who was undefeated at the time at 28-0-0, a 10 round decision over Alonzo Johnson and a 4th round TKO over Dave Rent. That brought in September and December 1962 probably two of Diaz's three toughest fights of his career when he lost a 12 round split decision to Willie Pastrano and then lost a 10 round decision to Gregorio Peralta. After 3 wins against modest competition including a 5th round TKO of Levi Forte, Diaz finished his career in June 1965 when he was stopped in the 4th round by Oscar Bonavena.

27 wins / 18 losses / 0 draws / 16 KO

Brithname: Marcos Celstino Rodrigues
Hometown: Vitoria

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

Stopped in 14 of his 18 losses, Celestino built a 9-2-0 record when he lost an 8th round TKO to Gilton Dos Santos for the Sao Paulo's State HW Title Eliminator in April 1993. In March 1997 he defeated by 10 round decision, Geraldo Messias for the Brazilian HW Title, then lost the title to Elmo Mamede De Carvalho 7 month later. In February 1999 he made another bid for the Brazilian HW title, this time loosing to GEorge Arias.

Four months after the Arias fight, Celestino won the WBC Mundo Hispano HW Title stopping Egidio Amaro Da Costa. Five months later from that, he lost that title to Walter Armando Masseroni. In April 2000 he took on George Arias again for the Brazilian HW Title only to be KO'd in the 4th round by Arias.

The next 5 years of his career included an almost 2 year layoff between June 2002 and Feb. 2004. He compiled an 8-3-0 record against pretty competion much with no ring experience. He did fight Canadian Patrice L'Heureux in May 2005 loosing by 2nd round TKO.

Fought and won one fight each in 1995, 97, 98 and won his 4th fight in May 1999 when he then lost in June 1999 to Marcos Celestino for the WBC Mundo Hispano HW Title. That was followed by losses in December 1999 and Feb 2000 to George Arias in bouts for the Brazilian HW title.

Edegar Da Silva Rating 1 Brazil
Heavyweight 1991-05
15 wins / 8 losses / 0 draws / 9 KO

Hometown: Joinville, ?

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

This guy really is not retired, but I rated him as such for my purposes. 7 of 8 losses he was stopped in the fight TKO or KO.

Career started out fine enough, 12-2-0 including winning the Brazilian HW Title in August 1998 outpointing Ivan Aparecido Rosa in 10 rounds. Then after a couple more wins after the title fight including another over Rosa, Da Silva then lost four straight fights starting with a 4th round TKO to George Arias in August 2000. Da Silva then is out of the ring for 2-1/2 years when in February 2003, the climbs back in to take on Fabio Eduardo Moli for the vacant WBO Latino HW Title. Moli stops Da Silva in the 5th round. In December of that year, he then is stopped in the 4th round by Marcelo Fabian Dominguez in a title bout for the South American HW crown. That's followed a month later by a 1st round TKO loss to Taras Bidenko. It's then out of the ring for over a year again before Da Silva comes back for 5 bouts in 2005, winning 3 and loosing 2 including a 3rd round KO to Gonzalo Omar Basile for something called the Ricardo Enrique Bochini cup.

Elmo Mamede De Carvalho Rating 1 Brazil
Heavyweight 1994-2000
8 wins / 8 losses / 0 draws / 3 KO

Hometown/Birthplace: Salvador, Bahia

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

A weak chin curtailed DeCarvalho going farther with his career suffering 7 stoppages in 8 losses.

After a 5-0 start including a decision over Marcos Celestino, he lost two straight to Ezequiel Paixao and then to a guy with a 1-6 record. Six months after that though he fights and defeats Marcos Celestino in 10 rounds for the Brazilian HW title. DeCarvalho manages to beat Celestino in a rematch, though not with the title on the line then looses 8th round TKO to Carlos Barcelete. In September 1998 he looses the Brazilian HW title to George Arias and Arias beats him again 3 months later in a title rematch. 3 more losses in his next 4 bouts ends his career.

Alias: Olimpico
Hometown: Sao Paulo
Birthplace: Minas Gerais

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

After winning 3 fights in early/mid 1991, Dos Santos fought a 10 round draw with Dionisio Nascimento for the Brazilian Cruiserweight Title. He did not fight again til July 1992 when to was KO'd in the 5th round by Jose Carlos Da Silva in another bid for the cruiserweight title. After a knockout win in October 1992, Dos Santo then in 1993 defeated Marcos Celestino, Ivan Aparecido Rosa, Geraldo Messias and finally Jose Eduardo Dos Santos to win the Sao Paulo's State Heavyweight Title. That followed in later 93 and early 1994 a draw and 3 knockout losses including a 9th round TKO to Adilson Rodrigues in a Brazilian HW title fight.

Dos Santos then strung together 5 knockout wins in a row including ones over Edegar Da Silva and Walter Masseroni and capped off with a 2nd round TKO over Geraldo Messias to win the Brazilian HW title. That was in October 1995. The following month, he lost a 10 round decision to Edegar Da Silva. BoxRec then shows no more fights for Dos Santos for 4-1/2 years.

Finally in May 2000 Gilton resurfaces to stop Elmo De Carvalho in the 1st round but then in August that year he's stopped by Aurelio Perez in the 3rd round in a bout for the WBO Latino HW Title. In March 2001 Gilton attempts to reclaim the Brazilian HW Title only to be stopped by George Arias in the 5th round. He then dissappears from the ring again for over 3 years before making a 2nd and last brief comeback knocking out Luiz dos Santos in the 1st round in August 2004 only to be put into final retirement by Carlos Roldan in a November 2004 bout for the vacant UBC HW Title as Roldan won by a 12 round UD.
