This Davey Moore was born in New York, just at the same time as the first Davey Moore was a world boxing champion. As a boxer, he rose quickly through the junior middleweight ranks - perhaps too quickly - some boxing critics and writers say. After winning eight professional fights, five by knockout, the WBA named him their #1 challenger, and in February of 1982, he travelled to Japan, where he knocked out defending champion Tadashi Mihara in six to win the WBA world junior middleweight title.

He defended it against Charlie Weir, knocking him out in five rounds in South Africa in April, and former world champion Ayub Kalule, whom he stopped in ten in New Jersey in July. In the early part of 1983, Moore was scheduled to face a young, rising junior middleweight named Tony Ayala (who was nicknamed Baby Bull). Ayala has often been called a human wrecking ball, he had a boxing record of 22-0 with 19 knockouts. However, Ayala could not control his rage outside the ring, he was convicted of rape and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Ayub Kalule was born in Uganda. ...

Moore started 1983 by beating challenger Gary Guiden, again by knockout, in four. Next, he defended against former two-time world champion Roberto Duran. Moore was confident (and perhaps too much so), thinking that he could easily defeat the aging Duran, but 'Stonehands' showed that experience won out over youth by just mauling Moore, hammering shut one of his eyes, and stopping him in eight rounds in NYC's Madison Square Garden. Moore's career took a downward spiral after that. He won two more fights in a row, including one in Monte Carlo over Wilfredo Benitez, but then he lost in Paris on a disqualification in nine to Louis Acaries. In 1985, he won one more fight and was in line to challenge Carlos Santos for the IBF world junior middleweight title. That fight did not materialize, but eventually he did get to challenge for the IBF title, going against Buster Drayton in August 1986, but in that bout Moore somehow stopped fighting - and lost by TKO - in the tenth round. After that, Moore would fight just a few more times, compiling a mediocre record. 1983 is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

One morning in early June 1988, Moore was leaving his home, when he went out to open the carway's door. He forgot to turn off the car or put it on the parking mode, leaving it on reverse. The car subsequently went backwards, and although Moore tried to get away, he was crushed by his car, dying instantly, and sparking boxing fans to comment that the name of Davey Moore had to carry a curse for boxers. June is the sixth month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of four with the length of 30 days. ...
