Accounts vary on the supposed date of this sparring session. Ayala Sr says "summer of 1977" and others say "August" or "August 13th" in this...
I especially love the part about how Cuevas was roaming the country looking for "decent sparring" less than a week before his fight against Clyde...
You're wasting your time on this audience, Senor. They have confused murderous punching Pipino who ruined careers with Luis Vega, whom Leonard...
I love the revisionist history where Sugar Ray is unbeatable and untouchable and Pipino is just some lucky journeyman slappy who would get...
I love these threads, Pepe, and hope you keep 'em coming. You have done a great job of bringing forgotten fighters back to our attention and this...

I need some help from the tape collectors on this board. Gary Gamble was a journeyman lightweight from Indy who fought many of the top names in...
I suspect this would have been a strange fight to unfold as I picture the larger, stronger, faster Williams boxing from a distance and limiting...

I saw Womack on a couple of ESPN undercards back in 1985 and he looked like a "can't miss" prospect. He was being promoted towards a Holyfield...
You're the only one on this thread who thinks he was fighting "castoffs". We already established the creds of several of his opponents. Palomino...
