Horacio Acavallo educate me

Post by Counter-puncher »

Ok so I saw this dude mentioned on the top.flyweights thread. I've had a look at his record,and what I could see in youtube, and I'm struggling to see him as top 5 or whatever. Lots of fights in Argentina against crappy records, and in terms of top fighters I see efren Torres, nobody else I recognise though that could just be my lack of knowledge.

On the eye test he looks a bit ugly, seems to have his weight too far over his front leg, and squares up too much.

So if anyone could fill me in a little that would be good.

He has 2 wins over Hiroyuki Ebihara. though I don't believe he deserved the second one, and wins over Torres, Burruni, and Takayama, and several wins over decent but not top ranked opposition in Argentina. Maybe some records are incomplete, but he definitely proved he could fight at the very highest level. And he isn't in the IBHOF.
