Fight of the week #2: Lupe Pintor v. Carlos Zarate

That especially surprises people about Pintor, who looks every inch the prototypical Mexican look left hook artist, and we always associate that with pure brawlers. He was a technician.

Round 15: 10-9 Pintor (all Pintor the 1st half of the round, Zarate made the second half close, Lupe looked to have wanted it more)

My Score: 143-141 Pintor

Great chess match, former stablemates Zarate & Pintor knew each other and their styles well. Not the normal all out Mexican Style war, still a great contest. Lupe Pintor boxed beautifully, Carlos Zarate just wasn't active enough. I could see a draw as well, but it would be tough justifying Zarate the winner of this fight.

Will edit this post after scoring again.
