Espada became a world champion in a situation that could be described by some as bizarre: the undisputed world Welterweight champion of the era, José Nápoles, was to fight Carlos Monzón for the world's Middleweight title.
In 1975, he began a very publicized romance with the famous actress and vedette Susana Giménez; they had previously met in the 1974 thriller La Mary, directed by Daniel Tinayre, where the two played husband and wife.
He lost and regained this title, then challenged Carlos Monzón for the world crown in Rome, but was stopped in five rounds.
He is recognized among such famous Argentinian boxers as Juan Roldan, Oscar Bonavena and Carlos Monzón.
Boxing champion Carlos Monzón was killed in a car crash in the jurisdiction of Santa Rosa in 1995.
He started his professional career with Torino, then obtaining his major successes with Perugia and AC Milan, and being nicknamed Monzon (after an Argentine boxer) due to both his physical resemblance to him and his determination on the pitch.
