Al Seeger

On April 30, 2009 Seeger fought Benjamin Flores (NABF). The referee stopped the fight in the eighth round. Flores was led to his corner but collapsed shortly afterward. He was rushed to hospital but never regained consciousness and died five days later.

Seeger has since fought Mike Oliver on November 8, 2007 (IBO), and Yuriorkis Gamboa (WBC Intercontinental) on July 18, 2008. He lost both fights - the former by majority decision, and the second by a first-round TKO (a fight he took on two days' notice).

On September 2, 2005, Seeger won the International Boxing Association (IBA) World Super Bantamweight title by defeating Cesar Figueroa. He then successfully defended his title in a second-round TKO on July 28, 2006 against former Mexican Olympian, César Morales. On October 21, 2006, however, he lost the title to Daniel Ponce de León (WBO, IBA).

Seeger first won the IBA Americas Super Bantamweight title on August 30, 2003. His first loss was on May 29, 2004, to Phillip Payne when he suffered a heat stroke. Seeger, however, rebounded from this loss and regained the IBA Americas title by defeating Luis Rivera. He went on to fight several more times before a rematch with Phillip Payne on April 14, 2006, which Seeger won by a third round TKO.

He made his professional debut on April 27, 2002 Against Daniel Amaro (1-1-1). Through December 2008, Seeger had compiled a professional record of 27 wins and 4 losses.
