    This was by the ring magazine, info:
    Record: 61-4 (58)
    World Titles: Bantamweight
    Quality of competition: 8
    Bout vs. Top 50 Fighters: 1
    Why he`s here: His amazing list of KO`s includes Alfonso Zamora, whom he crushed in the biggest bantamweight fight ever
    What he could have done to better his ranking: Made a better showing vs Wilfredo Gomez. Does anyone agree?

    Monster. Was sick going into Gomez fight and if I remember correctly was hit when he was down with no repercussions but at that time it may have been a bridge to far against that version of Gomez anyway. Great fighter who looked a bit stiff and mechanical at times IMO but he got the job done. Incredible punching power.
    Btw if he didn't come back you can erase the last 2 losses. The Pintor loss is still highly debatable so some mite say his only real loss was moving up to fight Gomez and again that wasn't without some issues either
