Germán Ohm Gómez (born 28 May 1936 in Mexico City) was a Mexican boxer of German ancestry in the Featherweight division.[1] He was one of the most popular boxers from Mexico.[2]

Professional career

In October 1956, he beat the future World Bantamweight Champion Jose Becerra.[3] One of his biggest wins was an upset victory over an undefeated Carlos Cardoso.[4]

His last fight ever was a win over Memo Diez in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico.[5]
