Ricardo Alberto Cordoba Mosquera (born 11 October 1983 in Santa Marta, Panama) is a former professional boxer who fought in the super bantamweight division.

Professional career[edit]

Cordoba turned professional in September 2000. In his debut at the Gimnasio de los Leones, David, Panama, Cordoba defeated fellow debutant Hussein Sanchez with a knockout in the first round.

On September 18, 2008, Cordoba defeated Luis Pérez via twelve-round unanimous decision in Panama City for the vacant WBA Interim Super Bantamweight Title.

Cordoba was promoted to the full-fledge WBA Super Bantamweight champion on November 21, 2008 after fellow-Panamanian Celestino Caballero won an IBF title to become unified champion.

Cordoba lost his WBA title to Irishman Bernard Dunne on March 21, 2009, being knocked out in the 11th (of 12) round.[1]

Cordoba would get another shot at a world title when he faced Guillermo Rigondeaux for the WBA super bantamweight interim title, he would lose a close decision.[2]
