Guty Espadas (born December 20, 1954) is a Mexican former professional boxer who won the WBA flyweight title. He is also the father of former World Champion Guty Espadas Jr.
He was born to Hernan Espadas Cruz and Isabel Cruz Espadas.
He became a professional boxer in 1971.
He won the WBA Flyweight Championship on October 2, 1976, when he knocked out Alfonso Lopez in thirteen rounds. He defended the title four times before losing it to Betulio González on August 12, 1978, via a fifteen-round majority decision. He challenged twice more for world titles, although he was unsuccessful in both tries. After his final try, a tenth-round knockout loss to Payao Poontarat in 1984, he retired.
