Camacho began his professional boxing career, after a stellar amateur career, when he fought another debutante, Reynaldo Vazquez, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, August 27 of 1988. Camacho won by a four-round decision.
On October 6 of that year, Camacho fought undefeated (2-0-1) Jose Luis De Jesus in Guaynabo, winning by a four-round split decision. Less than a month later, he scored his first knockout win, beating Luis Vargas on November 3, by a third-round knockout, in Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico.
Camacho rested during 1989, then returned in 1990, first taking on Ray Ortega, 0-0-1, on May 12 of that year in San Juan, winning by a four-round unanimous decision. He followed that win up with a second-round knockout of Evy Vazquez, who was 0-5 coming in, at the Olympic Auditorium in Miramar, Santurce, Puerto Rico, on June 2.
On August 4, 1990, Camacho fought Miguel Santos, 1-7-1, at Pedrin Zorrilla Coliseum in San Juan, winning by technical knockout in four rounds. One month and eleven days later, on September 15, he returned to action at the same coliseum, this time meeting Julio Cesar Acevedo, 3-3-1, and winning by eight round unanimous decision. On October 20 of that year (1990), he had a rematch with Jose Luis De Jesus, by then 5-2-2, at the Pedrin Zorilla Coliseum, knocking De Jesus out in three rounds.
Camacho finished 1990 by fighting Julio Cesar Acevedo in a rematch, this time for the vacant Puerto Rican Light-Flyweight title. Acevedo had not fought since their first match and was 3-4-1 coming in. Acevedo caused a mild upset by knocking Camacho out in round twelve, handing Camacho his first loss as a professional. This bout also took place at the Pedrin Zorrilla Coliseum.
Camacho's next fight was his third rematch encounter in a row. Despite sporting a record of only 2 wins, 9 losses and 1 draw, Miguel Santos was allowed to compete with Camacho for the vacant Puerto Rican Flyweight championship, therefore, on March 21, 1991, at San Juan, Camacho won the national title by outpointing Santos over twelve rounds.
Camacho then fought well-known Puerto Rican Angel Rosario, who had just come off a world title fight loss to Jose Ruiz. On April 27, 1991, at San Juan, Rosario, 11-6-1, outpointed Camacho over ten rounds. Camacho's Puerto Rican Flyweight title was not on the line that night.
Camacho took the rest of 1991 off, then began his 1992 professional boxing campaign with a twelve-round unanimous decision victory on March 27 over undefeated Eduardo Nazario (5-0-1) to retain the Puerto Rican national Flyweight title, at Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. He followed that victory with a win on May 21 over 3-9-1 Luis Ramos, over eight rounds by unanimous decision, also at San Juan.
Career decline
Camacho lost his next three fights, effectively completing a four fight losing streak (which started with his title losing effort against Carbajal). These included a challenge of World Boxing Board Flyweight champion Marc Johnson by knockout in eight, exactly one year after the Carbajal fight, on July 15, 1995, at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, California, (as part of the Saman Sorjaturong-Humberto Gonzalez undercard), a challenge of World Boxing Union Light-Flyweight champion Nungdiaw Sakcharuporn on January 27, 1996, at the Bansaen Stadium, Chonburi, Thailand, when he was beaten by ninth-round technical knockout, and a loss to WBA Fedelatin Light-Flyweight monarch Gilberto Gonzalez, 7-1-1, by a fifth-round technical knockout at Miami, Florida, March 23, 1996.
Camacho retired after the loss to Gonzalez, but then returned on March 4, 1999, defeating Miguel Del Valle by eight-round decision. This turned out to be Camacho's last career victory, and he subsequently lost to Leo Gamez by an eight-round knockout at Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, May 29, 1999, for the WBA's interim Super-Flyweight title, then to Gerson Guerrero by a first-round knockout at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California, for the vacant North American Boxing Federation's Flyweight title on May 19, 2001, and to Miguel Del Valle in a rematch, May 25, 2002, at the Acropolis in Manati, Puerto Rico, by a twelve-round unanimous decision for the WBC's CABOFE Flyweight championship.
