    Getting ready to shift gears and dig into some older Betulio fights. Does anyone remember him, or have any stories?

    Anyone know about all the close decision SD and Draw fights he had...were they generous or harsh to him on the scorecards or just about right?

    Got Oba, Espadas, Oguma II and III, canto II and Ibarra ready to watch this week. Anyone else see these fights or know if these missing ones exist?

    Borkhorsor, Canto I and III, Oguma I & IV, salavarria, Morales or Udella? I would love to see those as well if anyone has info?

    Maybe @Russell @Flea Man or @McGrain have an idea?

    Oguma 4 x’s
    Canto 3 x’s
    Oba
    Borkhorsor
    Espadas
    Ibarra
    Salavarria
    Urdella

    Betulio was a warrior

    I have Canto 1 - 10 rounds and Canto 3 Full 15

    Maybe I should watch the Ohba fight again tonight.

    I'll be honest and admit that Betulio is one of my blind spots. Sorry for taking so long to respond.

    Betulio Gonzalez is a fighter that I've been interested in watching and learning more about. Haven't seen most of his fights other than with Masao Ohba and Miguel Canto but from what I've seen he looked to have changed his style from a more technical boxer puncher to a come forward aggressor. I'll have to watch more of his fights to evaluate his skills but I do see shades of Harold Johnson and John Conteh. Hope to see more people's insights on him.

    Guy was a beast. McGrain has some of his bouts on his channel.

    Watch the Ohba bout.
