Any info on this c. 1970's boxing set from Venezuela?

Ok, I picked these up a little while ago from a seller in Venezuela. A stack of unopened packs of which I've opened a few up. I've not seen these pop up elsewhere as of yet.

Seller thinks this was a 70's issue put out by Reyauca (a popular Venezuelan card producer of the time).

Fronts have pretty primitive artwork, but each pose and scene are unique enough I believe they are supposed to represent specific bouts and fighters, rather then some type of boxing instructional or strictly generic sports set.

Due to the language barrier, I was never able to get any other additional information from the seller. Most of these types of sets had albums produced for them, which might give some sort of information as to the intended subjects pictured on the cards.

Backs are blank.

I've pictured a few rows of random cards from the set and a couple of the original unopened packs.

Anybody see these before, or even better, have a checklist for them?

I was gonna say, the artwork looks like Reyaucas' artists but I've never seen them before.

Thanks Adam. I figured if anybody had seen them it would be you. Gotta be something out there on these.

6 month bump. Anybody run across these yet?

They were produced in Spain by Reyauca for the Venezuela market (1986?).

I believe there was a poster to affix the cards, but can't locate an image.

Thanks. I've noticed there does seem to be a Spain/Venezuela connection on a lot of the Reyauca cards.

It makes sense there should be a poster or mini-album out there for these cards, as there seems to be for all the other Reyauca type sets, I've run across.
