Passed away at age 83. He was a terrific fighter who was slick, crafty, very fast hands and feet, and tough as nails. One of the best to come out of Panama. RIP El Tigre Colonese The World Boxing Association on Instagram: "The World Boxing Association deeply mourns the passing of Panamanian boxing legend Ismael Laguna, a former WBA Lightweight World Champion and one of the greatest fighters in the history of Latin American boxing. Our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and the entire boxing community. Rest in peace, champion. ️ #Boxing #Boxeo #WBA #WBABoxing"
Great, great, great fighter. Arguably the second greatest Panamanian fighter of all time. Its arguable who deserves that spot between him, Pedroza, and Panama Al Brown. Superb technician, lighting fast hands, yet tough and mean. Always love watching him tear Mando Ramos to shreds. Rest easy, champ.
