This article aims to remind the welterweight stylist, Raul Carabantes, fighter born in Valdivia, Chile.

talking boxing main characteristics were the left and right leg speed. As reflected by the chroniclers was Chilean champion, South American and was once considered the best welterweight in Latin America by the magazine The Ring. "

EARLY

Raúl Carabantes in boxing began almost by necessity. In his teens working as a jockey at the Hippodrome de Valdivia and was doing quite well. However, it was growing and not physical allowed to continue as a jockey. Then he thought that boxing could be their salvation.

amateur As appeared in the National Amateur Championship in Chile in 1932, majoring featherweight champion.

quickly escalated as income at the national level, in an era where bright Fernandito, Osvaldo Sanchez and Domingo Osorio. The beams of his career were his straight left and agile legs. Physically always cared for and prepared meticulously. It was a big puncher, but he scored many knockouts in his career.

PEACE WITH BABY LIMA

He fought with the Cuban Baby Peace in Lima, Peru. Remember that fight "only met him in the ring and see him, I was afraid," was the top Cuban boxer with an impressive physique. Carabantes overcame the fear and won a battle in which his principal weapon was the use of straight left. AGAINST

Fernandito

fought three times with the extraordinary Fernandito, considered by many as the best boxer Chilean history.

The first of those fights Carabantes began fighting brilliantly, was wearing his good technique and good preparation, but that was short lived. In the second round Fernandito cut him with a terrible left hook to the liver. Thereafter he devoted himself to walk obtaining an easy victory.

Fernandito In the rematch underestimated Carabantes, who surprised the fans with his display. The result was a tie.

The third fight occurred at the end of their careers and was a triumph for Fernandito again. Notes

Mr. Huife that first defeat was decisive Fernadito Carabantes. At that time Carabantes Raul was in the top of his boxing ability. Never was better than that night and the loss snapped an internal spring in his mind. After that night Carabantes stopped their progress. With his left foot and leg was enough to win "and that he wanted more? A Fernandito could not ever win, so it was not worth worrying too much. SIMON

WAR AND TURN TO THE NORTH OF THE CONTINENT.

With Chilean War Simon also made memorable battle, in which he won and tied, to which thousands of fans.

fought in Peru, Panama, Cuba and the United States. In Havana debuted beating Bobby Britton, only to lose twice with Cuban idol Joe Legon.

In July 1941, debuted in the United States losing points with Steve Belloise. Patsy won by KO Pasqualli and presented at Madison Square Garden before Hollman Williams. Lost on points the valdiviano, who despite the grueling punishment remained standing until the end. Later

went to Pittsburgh where he defeated George Silvassy, \u200b\u200bJoe Bocarino, Ossie Harris and Otto Blackwell.

was then engaged in a fight with Fritzie Zivic, a former world champion, in Pittsburgh. That night he was in his corner Routier Parra, Chilean naturalized American who fought twice fly title.

In that battle reminded Carabantes "And Zivic was canchero and knew all the tricks of boxing. I was mad at his tricks until Routier Parra envaselinó me the big toe and said: "Stick to him and stick your finger in the eye, you see." But even so, I win ... "

His manager received a proposal to fight with Sugar Ray Robinson, and took him to Philadelphia to see the colossal medium.

-Robinson is the greatest thing I've seen in my entire life. I was over there away from the opponent and suddenly I saw it hitting with two hands. With incredible speed, with a technique and a tremendous punch. My manager asked me and I do not understand you answered yes, yes, yes. He believed that he agreed to fight with Sugar Ray and arranged the fight.

Our Valdiviano just knew that all was ready it started to Panama. The reason for this breach of contract seems understandable from a factual point of view: "If I grab Robinson still be hitting me ...."

In Panama beat Rene Sanchez, Young Shadow and Kid Azteca, Mexican idol.

Don Renato González tells us that at some point during their stay in America, The Ring magazine named him the best welterweight fighter Latin America. BACK

On his return to Chile defeated the local figure of those years, Humberto Buccione Iquique. With the mobility of legs, with his left left always "paying" the brave Iquique, winning every round. According to the account given by Mr. Renato Gonzalez M. Huife "the triumph of Carabantes was" no muss. " He was active until 1949.

SOUTH AMERICAN CHAMPION

said Don Renato Gonzalez in his book "Boxing in Chile," which won the South American welterweight title in 1937, winning Argentina's Santiago Manuel Martínez. He gave the rematch in Buenos Aires and came to win. Add "your style, so at odds with what there (Buenos Aires) is believed to be the outgoing condition of Chileans do not like it and had to return."

According Carabantes boxrec.com fought Carlos Martinez on an unspecified date in 1937 and 1936 and does not mention whether the dispute took place South American welterweight title. It is noted that in Santiago and Buenos Aires won tied.

Clearly we have a disagreement, we track in newspapers and records of the time for clarity in this regard. The absence of specialist sports press between 1931 and 1942 much more difficult the work from the Chilean side.

LIVED WITH JOY THE ADVENTURE OF BOXING

was a boxer happy, optimistic, confident and good-natured. Simple and cordial man of great professional responsibility, the care and training as all fighters should. A sentence portrays him: "They say that fighters get silly with the punches and I do not think so because before I was boxing a lot more foolish than now. Imagine when I came to Santiago was not above the line of cars because they thought I was going to make electricity. "Without certainly lived happily boxing adventure.

Women competed for the honor of carrying his humble bier

By Eduardo Baliari

This morning at quarter past ten in the bed 14 of the Board of San Vicente at the hospital in Lima, there was the news that everyone seemed to alleviate, its occupant, a young man of color -31 years, died in the midst of the pain more acute. It was eleven days had been hospitalized with deep discomfort in the liver and kidneys and was also hesitant heart. Eleven days bedridden, suffering, crying at night, pursued by gatekeepers pangs of pain.
had been taken to hospital in misery because of this: the total lack of resources. While the modest box that later could be achieved could barely lined with newspaper.
But when news of his death spread throughout Lima, when it became known who he was, one end of quiet oblivion and misery became an apotheosis burial. They did especially women, because when they started the march to the cemetery, all wanted to carry the coffin at the same time, fighting furiously, in an emotional disorder.
A large piece of his glory, women, covering the road to final game the boy who in life had called José Coronado.

was born in Chincha. At fourteen, watching the Atlantic Club Peru, Manco Capac, powering those boys of his age, but clumsily, it seemed that he could do much more easily and better. Indeed, it also allows you to wear gloves and began to jump into the ring to avoid improvised beats rival, to implement their own, realized that the space enclosed by the strings was a world in which he had to cope with a power lacked understanding that those, who could not grasp. At that time, the boxer was born. It takes time to learn
what has been called "the secrets of the ring." Is for him something like a form of expression. Discovered early in his life that stood in front of an opponent to be mastered, overcome, overthrow, to prevent sticking us, is how to express all that has been inside you and do not know how to explain. He says, yes, clearly with the gloves when chasing a rival, when a few moments after starting the fight and knows his psychology background, which can be achieved, the error is able to commit the man who expects his punches , in front of you. That is for him the best kept secret of the ring. You can not teach, you can not learn. Is detected or not in every man who decides to wear gloves.
That same year, we are in 1935 - is making its international debut. Indeed, he was sent to Chile as a representative of its class to Latin American championship. Defeat all rivals. And finished the tournament, take it as a show with a team that will fulfill a plan of fighting in the south. The next year is to send a representative to the Olympics that will be developed in Berlin. Error intervenes in selecting leaders, because no one would think that it is still a minor to the representations of those tournaments. Therefore can not ultimately represent their country, despite reaching the finals undefeated in the selection. *******
Twice
South American featherweight champion is an award not very common. But chronologically follow his path. Already in 1938, to qualify undefeated at the XII Latin American championship, it seems that he has no other way than required in such circumstances, become a professional. You then have 17 years. And Peru, especially Lima, he is small for his field of likely competitors, started a journey through various South American countries.
arrives in Buenos Aires and this leaves a lasting memory. Few fighters were hailed as him. You will be a campaign of 46 fights, 36 of them wins, tying 6 and losing only 4.
here among us, also live stage I am getting married. Comes a child. Perhaps this is an obstacle to the next life he wanted to catch it with so many facilities for money and fame as it was coddling. Women also, of course, never missing in these stages of the life of the boxers. Elba Sotelo, his partner was the woman for this, because it was a true guide guardian.
But after a while, after almost fifty fights, begin to insinuate some discomfort, especially the trend-perhaps the result of the physical state of abandonment and diversion when there is a period of forced rest.
So bitter, he returned to Lima to see if you can find the new field that starts to fail in Buenos Aires. Someone tempts you with the North. Worse. Return to Lima and was forced to abandon the ring. Is the moment of balance. It has nothing. And then takes refuge in the neighborhood of La Victoria.
soon begin these sharp pains that were the result of many battles in so few years, but perhaps even more so for the life I had squandered. Heart, kidneys, liver. Trilogy, with the brain, are the key points of failure in the body of a boxer. No more painful combination. The misery around him. Oblivion also worse. Until the day is indicated, should be taken to a hospital. The days of atrocious suffering did that, mercifully, to its inevitable end, over a wish that death came, by that time, early ... His story accusing
