Pro career

[edit]

Nicknamed "El Naja", Ibarra turned professional in 1975 and won the WBA flyweight title in 1979 when he won a decision over Betulio González. He lost the belt in his first defense when he was knocked out by Tae-Shik Kim in the 2nd round in 1980. He recaptured the WBA flyweight title with a decision win over Santos Laciar in 1981.[1] He again lost the belt in his first defense to Juan Herrera by TKO.[2] He retired the following year, and had a brief and unsuccessful comeback in 1989.
