Professional career edit
In August 1983, Rabanales won his pro debut by knocking out veteran Mario Asteaga in Mexico City.
WBC bantamweight title edit
His first shot at a WBC bantamweight title was against Greg Richardson, but he lost a disputed decision. In Inglewood, California he upset Yong-Hoon Lee to win the Interim WBC bantamweight title. On September 17, 1992 he won the WBC Bantamweight Championship by beating an undefeated Joichiro Tatsuyoshi in Japan.[1] He would lose his title to Byun Jung-il in another very disputed decision in South Korea. He also had close decision losses to an undefeated Wayne McCullough and Sirimongkol Singwancha.
