Raúl Macías Guevara (July 28, 1934, in Mexico City – March 23, 2009)[1] was a Mexican professional boxer, actor and boxing trainer.

In the Olympics, he first defeated Angel Amaya of Venezuela in a unanimous decision, then lost to Gennady Garbuzov of the Soviet Union[3] Below is the record of Raul Macias, a Mexican bantamweight boxer who competed at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics: On January 1, 1953, Macias debuted as a professional boxer with a first round knockout win against Memo Sanchez in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico.

Exactly one month later and in only his second fight, Macias had his first ten-round bout, and he outpointed Chucho Tello in Culiacán, a feat he would duplicate in their rematch.

After 6 more wins, he challenged Nate Brooks on September 26, 1954, for the continental, NABF Bantamweight championship, which he took with a twelve-round decision in Mexico City.

On March 9, 1955, in San Francisco, California, Macías knocked out Songkiktrat in round eleven, taking the NBA World Bantamweight championship.

After he was down again from a right to the head, referee Fred Apostoli, a former world champion, ended the bout thirty seconds into round eleven.

In a non-title bout on June 16, 1955, Macías suffered his first defeat when he was knocked out 2:29 into the third round by Billy Peacock in Los Angeles.

Macias used his left effectively, and though he sustained a slightly bruised hand in the fourth, it did not hinder him in the remaining rounds.

[15][16] After seven more non-title fight wins, Macias faced Dommy Ursua on June 15, 1957, in San Francisco in his second title defense.

Macias was called for a low blow in the eleventh, not long before unleashing a right and two handed combination that led to the referee ending the match.

He co-starred with gifted boxer, four times world champion and Boxing Hall of Fame member, Ruben Olivares, ("el puas"), in Llanto, risas e nocaut.

[20][4] After his participation in "Mi Pequeña Soledad", Macías dedicated himself to training boxers in a Mexico City gym.
