Professional career
In August 1983, Rabanales won his pro debut by knocking out veteran Mario Asteaga in Mexico City.
WBC bantamweight title
His first shot at a WBC bantamweight title was against Greg Richardson, but he lost a disputed decision. In Inglewood, California he upset Yong-Hoon Lee to win the Interim WBC bantamweight title. On September 17, 1992 he won the WBC Bantamweight Championship by beating an undefeated Joichiro Tatsuyoshi in Japan. He would lose his title to Byun Jung-il in another very disputed decision in South Korea. He also had close decision losses to an undefeated Wayne McCullough and Sirimongkol Singwancha.
