    For days Ive been obsessed with this boxer..can you tell me more about him?

    Apart from his fight with Hector Camacho, he seems to have fought many more great fighters, and he had a positive win-loss record...

    Yes, he beat a lot of names, including a 10-round decision over Antonio Beccera, the only man to beat Salvador Sanchez, and an eight-round stoppage of Rolando Navarette in 1977. A rematch with Navarette four years later stands out as a real crossroads affair between two outstanding fighters, two southpaws, two Filipinos, two men in the world rankings...and it was Navarette who came through on a 12-round decision. Three months later, Navarette won the WBC super-featherweight title with a thrilling five-round knockout of Cornelius Boza-Edwards. Sato, sadly, went the other way.
