José Flores Pérez (October 21, 1910 – August 27, 1994) was a Mexican professional boxer better known as Battling Shaw or Benny Kid Roy. He was the first Mexican to become world champion.[1]

Professional career[]

Shaw made his pro debut at the age of 16. He mostly fought out of Louisiana. He became the World Light Welterweight Champion after decisioning Johnny Jadick in 1933.[2] He also fought fellow Mexican fighter and hall of fame Kid Azteca, although the exact date is unknown (Herbert Goldman's boxing encyclopedia dates the bouts as taking place in July and August 1931, but without any day numbers given; Shaw lost both bouts on points in ten rounds). He was trained and managed by Emile Bruneau (WBA President '62-66).
