Masao Ohba

Fly Wt Champion Masao Ohba is another that is often underrated....somewhat because he died young (car accident...23 years old).

But at that young age was already Fly Champion with 5 defenses. He had two losses (on points) early in his career and then would never lose again.

Great jab, a type of cautious aggressivness while able to be slick at the same time....holds wins over Berkrerk Chartvanchai (KO 13)... Betulio Gonzalez via 15 UD...and a somewhat faded Chartchai Chionoi (Ko 12th)...

Yeah I like this guy, have a few of his fights and was very impressed, especially by his jab but also by his easy going attitude in interviews, ver smilely and seems like a good fellow, very sad that his life was cut so short... do you have any of his fights??...

Great fighter.

His fight with Chionoi is an all-time classic.

Ohba waa a great little fighter.

Unfortunately my copy of his fight against Chionoi is terrible, but if someone is interested I have his fights against Orlando Amores and Betulio Gonzalez.

I'd really like those fights, I may have the Gonzarlez fight already (will have to check) but would like the Amores and Chinoi fights even if the quality isnt great, we could do a swap if you like?...

I often wonder how much Masao Ohba would have accomplished had he not died so young. What a great boxer he was. I have these fights and will be happy to trade with anyone for other Ohba fights:

Masao Ohba V Berkrerk Chartvanchai-WBA Flyweight Championship
Masao Ohba V Betulio Gonzalez-WBA Flyweight Championship
Masao Ohba V Chartchai Chionoi-WBA Flyweight Championship
Masao Ohba V Orlando Amores-WBA Flyweight Championship
Masao Ohba V Susumu Hanagata II-WBA Flyweight Championship

Thank you.

Thank you.

I have the Berkrerk Chartvanchai and Hanagata 2 fights but would really like the Betulio Gonzarlez, Chartchai Chinoi, and Orlando Amores fights, would you like to swap for some Yoko Gushiken fights, or some one else?... I've a lot of classics from 60s and 70s....
