Editing Michael Carbajal (section)

===Unification against Humberto "Chiquita" Gonzalez===
He then fought [[Michael Carbajal vs. Humberto González|a highly anticipated unification match]] with [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] champion [[Humberto González]]  on March 13, 1993. Carbajal and Gonzalez became the first Junior Flyweights in history to earn a million dollar purse, and it was the first Junior Flyweight "superfight" and championship bout to headline a [[Pay Per View]] event.

Carbajal was downed in rounds 2 and 5, and he was bleeding from his right eyebrow when he blasted a tremendous left hand to the side of Gonzalez's chin in the seventh round. Gonzalez turned sideways, and Carbajal landed another right hand that sent him to the canvas. Gonzalez could not beat the count, and Michael Carbajal had unified the world's Junior Flyweight championship in [[The Ring (magazine)|The Ring]]'s fight of the year. He would also be named [[Ring Magazine fighters of the year|fighter of the year]] for 1993.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/jrfly.htm|title=Michael Carbajal - Lineal Junior Flyweight Champion|publisher=The Cyber Boxing Zone Encyclopedia}}</ref>

Many television endorsement deals followed, including printed and television ads for [[Diet Pepsi]] and [[Emergency Chiropractic]], but trouble seemed to follow, as well.  He was accused of firing gunshots onto the roof of a party in [[Scottsdale, Arizona|Scottsdale]].

This unwanted attention seemed to take its toll on Carbajal, and after two additional defenses, he fought Gonzalez once again in a pay-per-view match in Los Angeles, [[California]].  In his 11th world title fight, Carbajal suffered the first loss of his career as he was defeated by a controversial 12 round split decision.
