Oscar Albarado (September 15, 1948 - February 17, 2021) was an American former professional boxer who held the undisputed light middleweight world championship from June 1974 to January 1975.
Known as "Shotgun", Albarado turned pro in 1966 and captured the undisputed light middleweight championship when he upset Koichi Wajima by KO in 1974.[1] He defended the crown once before losing it in a rematch to Wajima in 1975 by decision. He retired after the loss.
Albarado launched an unsuccessful comeback five years later, retiring in 1982 after several losses.
Albarado died on February 17, 2021, in Uvalde Texas at Amistad Nursing home at the age of 72.
