Gaspar "Indio" Ortega (born October 31, 1935) was a Mexican professional boxer [1] and is considered one of the best Welterweight boxers from Mexico. [2]
In January 1953, Ortega was only seventeen years old when he won his pro debut against Miguel Ocana in San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora, Mexico. [3]
On June 3, 1961 Gaspar lost to Emile Griffith, the bout would be his first shot at a World Championship. [4]
