Mark Breland was the 1982 World Champion in this class and came into Los Angeles both as the favorite and the most publicized boxer of the 1984 Olympics. He was a five-time Golden Gloves champion, and three-times US Champion (1981-83). In 1983 he had also starred in the film The Lords of Discipline in which he played the first black man to attend a southern military college in the 1960s. Breland was an easy winner of the welterweight gold medal, with two bouts not going the distance, and winning two by unanimous decision, including his final victory over Korea’s An Yeong-Su, the 1983 Asian Amateur Champion. Breland then turned professional, twice winning the WBA welterweight title, first in 1987, and holding it again from 1989-90. He retired after 1997 with a record of 35 wins, 3 wins and 1 draw, and then returned to the screen, making five movies from 1998-2005. He also worked as a boxing trainer.
