Luis Federico Thompson (19 December 1927 – 8 January 2010) was an Argentine professional boxer. Born in Colon, Panama, he later moved to Argentina where he was nationalized and afterwards became the Argentine and South American boxing champion.

Career

Thompson debuted in 1947 with a fight against Wilfredo Brown in Panama City which ended in a draw. On 7 October 1951, he fought Wilfredo Brewster defeating him and winning the Panamanian Lightweight Title for the first time. Two months later, he fought Wilfredo Brown again. Brown won the match by TKO in the 8th round taking the title from Thompson. A month later on 27 January 1952, Thompson and Brown had their second rematch where Thompson won by decision, reclaiming the Panamanian Lightweight Title in the process.

Thompson traveled to Luna Park in Buenos Aires for his 12 July 1952, fight against local boxer José María Gatica. Thompson lost by knockout in the 8th round. He decided to move to Argentina. In 1959, he defeated Cirilo Gil to become the Argentine champion.

Thompson traveled to New York City for his 25 March 1960 fight against Benny Paret. The fight ended in a draw. They had a rematch on 10 December 1960. Thompson was defeated by unanimous decision.

On 6 October 1962, he defeated Jorge Peralta to win the South American Welterweight title. His last fight was against Raul Roldan on 14 November 1963, where Thompson won by decision.
