'''Baha Laham''' emigrated to Canada in 1986 with his family during the civil war in Beirut, Lebanon. He grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in Montreal, Canada, and was pushed to boxing by his dad at age 15, after coming home from school with a black eye. Trained by [[Russ Anber]], Laham quickly established his domination in the Canadian amateur ranks. Laham is a four-time [[Golden Gloves]] Champion (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001), two-time Canadian Gold Medalist (1999, 2001), and was named the "Canadian Most Outstanding Boxer" (2001). He had 70 amateur bouts total.

After failing his dream to compete in the 2004 Olympic Games, Laham quit boxing and put his efforts into a law school education at L' [[Université du Québec à Montréal]]. It took about three years for Laham to decide to come back to the professional boxing ranks in the summer of 2006. He signed a contract with INTERBOX Promotions after winning his first three bouts. However, due to injuries he sustained while playing ice hockey, he twice had surgery on ligaments in his right knee, making him inactive from 2007 until 2011.

Laham is currently (2012) trained by [[Hercules Kyvelos]] and managed by Camille Estephan [[http://www.eottm.com/]]

Laham often uses a [[peek-a-boo defense]].

...Very aggressive during the first two rounds, Laham dropped his opponent with a sizzling left hook to the body early in the third.
Little Tyson was not able to beat the count and Laham earns an exciting knockout win at 0:52 seconds of the third round...

Lightweight Baha Laham (7-0 2KO) returned to the ring after a four year absence from the ring and showed little signs of ring rust as he posted a TKO victory over David Aucoin (2-4 1KO) of Hamilton Ontario at :39 of the 6th and final round. Reunited with his amateur trainer Russ Anber, Laham flattened his Ontario counterpart with a left hook to end the 5th. Coming right at the bell, the knockdown was not counted nor deemed illegal as a wobbly Auoin made his way back to his corner. Laham finished the job with authority in the 6th rocking Aucoin several times along the ropes before referee Steve St. Germain stepped in and halted the bout (Dave Spencer/FightNews Canada)

Trained by Russ Amber , Laham quickly established his domination on the Canadian amateur ranks. Baha is four time golden gloves champion (1998-99-00-01), two time Canadian gold medalist (1999,2001), and was named the Canadian most outstanding boxer (2001).

After failing his dream to compete in the 2004 Olympic games, Baha quit boxing and put his efforts in law school at the university of Quebec in Montreal.

Baha:

In other action, super-featherweight Baha Laham (3-0) left no doubt as he scored his first knockout at 2:05 of the 2nd round over Stephane Fleury. Laham was able to put a solid right hand to go with his already impressive left hook and Fleury paid the price as he walked straight into one early in the second round. Fleury would soon go down for good after absorbing a body shot that had him going down to one knee and vigorously shaking his head no when asked if he wanted to go on.

Baha Laham vs. Martin Huppe

2007-06-03T07:59:17Z

Baha:

In an entertaining super-featherweight bout, Baha Laham scored his second win thanks to a strong left hook over Martin Huppe. Laham who was trained by Pierre Bouchard and had both Sebastien Gauthier and Benoit Gaudet in his corner looks to be heading to a roster spot with Interbox. Scorecards were 40-36 (X2) and 39-37 for Laham who had his hands by his waist all night and was simply walking down his opponent trying to land.

Baha Laham vs. Mathias Tchikaya

Baha:

In the only blood-free fight, Mathias Tchikaya suffered a nasty gash over his left eye near the end of the first round of his fight with fellow junior lightweight Baha Laham. It didn’t take long for the blood to cover the entire side of Tchikaya’s face while also staining Laham’s trunks, shoulder and chest, and though the blood was bothering Tchikaya, he continued to put forth his best effort. In the end, Laham won a 39-37, 39, 37, 40-36 decision to improve to 4-0 with one knockout while Tchikaya fell to 0-4-2 with no stoppages.

Baha Laham immigrated to Canada in 1986 with his family during the civil war in Lebanon,Beyrut.
He grew up in a lower class neighbourhood in Montreal (Canada) and was pushed in boxing by his dad at age 15 after coming from school with a couple black eye. Trained by Russ Amber with his older brother Hassan, the Laham's quickly established a domination in the canadian amateur ranks. Baha was four times golden gloves champion and two times Canadian gold medalist in 1999 and 2001 when he was awarded to be the most oustanding boxer. After failing to acheive his dream to participate in the 2004 olympic games, Baha left boxing aside to concentrate on his law school studies and get a certificate at the university of Quebec in Montreal. It took close to 3 years for Baha to miss boxing and finally decide to turn pro in the summer of 2006. With his dedication, his toughness and his boxing skills he convinced The INTERBOX promotions to sign him a contract after winning his 3 first bouts.

Baha Laham vs. Stephane Fleury

2007-05-14T03:48:51Z

Baha:

Laham continued to solidify his reputation in the featherweights division by sending Fleury to the canvas and knocking him out as of the second round. Fleury delivered a judicious fight on the tactical level, but he couldn't contain the ardour of Laham. Fleury quickly understood that it was to hold Laham too distance or very close, because halfway, Laham was too dangerous; the power developed by his hooks was manifest. It's only in the second round that Laham really solved the enigma which was proposed to him. A hard counter right to the head sent Fleury to the canvas. Before the end of that same round Fleury was floored again, this time surprised by a left hook to the body. Fleury made sign to the referee that he had enough and didn't want to continue. Referee puts an end to the fight with 2 min 5 S of the second round.
