Greetings friends, today we will talk about the Mexican welterweight Pipino Cuevas who was born on December 27,1957 in San Tomás De Los Paraderos, Hidalgo, Mexico. He was a 12-time WBA Welterweight World Champion, from October 27,1976 when he took it from Angel Espada until August 02,1980 where he lost it to Thomas Hearns. Until now I had only noticed his terrible KOs and no less terrible left hook that are legend in social networks, until a friend sent me photos of his boxrec, insisting that I look at his record and opponents before becoming World Champion.

Espada himself became Welterweight World Champion against a certain Prince Jimmy Hamm 11 (6) _11 (8) ......

Cuevas had weak opposition on eleven Title defenses from him. Simply none of the contenders with whom he defended his Title won a single match when they faced Champions like, Nino La Rocca, Jhonny Bumphus, Milton McCrory, Wilfredo Benítez, Thomas Hearns, Marlon Starling, Donald Curry, Sugar Ray Leonard, himself lost as soon as he faced at a pure World level, Hearns, Roberto Durán, Roger Stafford, Jorge Vaca, Lupe Aquino, depending on the level you face, everything changes ...
