Was in the 'Top 5' in late-1973.
The 31 year-old Argentinian Bull, with a record of 50-8-1 {39 KO's} really wanted
another bout with 'Chicken Clay', who was nursing a 'shattered jaw', and who was
lining up the Great Dutchman - 'Rudi Lubbers' after the rematch with Kenny Norton.
Unfortunately, Oscar who was supposed to fight George Foreman, fractured his left hand
in the 2nd-Round in a tune-up bout with Lou Bailey on August 15, 1973 in Denver.
Well...UnoWho stopped him right? And he really wanted was some more of the money that could be earned for taking a beating. You or I would want the same. Everyone wanted some of that. But you know that.
