If 14 year old Tony Ayala had sparred with Duran instead of Cuevas....

even at age 11 ayala would make duran go "no mas"

 

Hello. Welcome to my ignore list room. Have fun and remember to tip your waitress. She puts up with a lot of assclowns and she brings your food out on time
and wears a funky barrette in her hair.

 

:-( How many times do I have to tell you, Klozoff? Grownups deal with other people's comments. They do not use ignore lists. atsch

 

Do too.

So 14 year old Tony Ayala was a better fighter than 37 year old Tony Ayala that got beaten by Yori Boy Campas?

I doubt that seriously. Teens who are still haven't got hair on their **** don't beat grown men,no matter how far past their best the grown up is.

I reckon this story is bull**** or at the very least exaggerated and I'd be very interested in hearing Cuevas' version of events. Really Ayala's whole rep is based on this dubious story and if Cuevas says it's crap then we can safely assume Ayala was just a decent prospect and not some prodigy like some would have you believe.

The report of Tony Ayala Jr. handling Jose 'Pipino' Cuevas in a 1977
sparring session,,,,,,,

A complete false story,,,,,100%,,,,,,,,,,,,it never happened.

Nothing more than a publicity grab. A press release to just get attention.

He was the 156 lb. 1977 National Junior Olympic Champion at the time, 14 1/2 years-old.

He was fighting young kids for God's Sake.

What 'Moron Father' would put his kid in the ring with an experienced pro, let alone
a jaw-breaking World Champion.

And for most sparring sessions, you're wearing head-gear and using 'pillow gloves',
and if anyone gets stung the trainers will blow a whistle to call the session off.

Sparring session stories,,,,,,,,C'mon who buys this stuff.

 

"Tyson was not half the fighter at his peak that Ayala was."

atsch:rofl Please, SNV, let Klozoff come back to see this. Bricks will be shat.

 

It happened alright. Reports may be a little over the top (or not), but the best reports i tracked down had Ayala quite competitive. Of course we don't know how hard Cuevas went, but apparently he uttered the words "incredible" a few times.

 

Good old Bert

 

I have footage of a 15 year old Ayala being given a horrific one sided beating and then KO'ed inside a round by a young Tony Sibson.

"the horror...the horror" Sibson is heard to mutter on it, as his triple left hooks caved in the side of Ayala's face.

 

Sir,

This sparring session was supposed to take place in the Summer of 1977, in San Antonio.

Unfortunately, Jose Pipino Cuevas was in training, in Los Angeles, California, prepping for his
August 6th bout at 'The Olympic' against boxer-puncher Canadian Clyde Gray.

Pipino set up in Los Angeles, for his 6-week training camp, from late-June thru early-August...:deal

Now, you're going to tell me he took a flight back to San Antonio, just to spar with a 14 1/2 year old 'kid'.
There wasn't one sparring partner available in Los Angeles..........

That must have been 'news' for Pipino's sparring partners; Jose Palacios, Jose Figueroa and Arturo Zuniga.

 

"Tyson was not half the fighter at his peak that Ayala was."


For "fighter", read "******", "scumbag", "piece of ****" ... then it makes sense.

 

:rofl :yep
