    Thanks for reminding me of Herrera, if for dispatching Olivares like he did if anything else!:thumbsup....and Castillo as well...oh well, I felt so guilty in listing Olivares and Zarate, I just didn't go any further.

    No problem re: Olivares and Zarate but you may actually be disqualified for Lujan over Pintor. :lol:

    Maybe, but Lujan might give Pintor problems with movement.

    I only saw highlights of that fight and it appeared Pintor dominated. I'd love to of seen the whole fight.

    Just watched the whole fight recently--Pintor definitely dominated. Lujan moved well and landed some good counters in some of the late rounds but he just couldn't keep Pintor off of him or match his firepower. Pintor was like the terminator!

    This was my scorecard on their 10 rounder.

    Lupe Pintor - Jorge Lujan 10 rounds, 10 point must system

    Round 1: 10-10 Even
    Round 2: 10-9 Lujan
    Round 3: 10-10 Even
    Round 4: 10-9 Pintor
    Round 5: 10-9 Pintor
    Round 6: 10-8 Pintor (Pintor scores a knockdown)
    Round 7: 10-9 Pintor
    Round 8: 10-9 Lujan
    Round 9: 10-9 Pintor
    Round 10: 10-9 Pintor

    Total: 98-93 Pintor

    I was listening to Allan Malamud's score during the telecast and I don't think he and I agreed on anything through the first 5 rounds. Lujan was a bit of a nightmare to the archtypical Mexican fighter. He was a counter-puncher with a great chin, which is a nightmare to all big bangers. But Pintor was the type of fighter who thrived over 15 rounds, unlike Zamora who was a George Foreman type and would spend himself early. Again, maybe a bit tough to score early because Pintor was a bit of a slow starter and Lujan was throwing a lot of soft counters. Open to your subjectivity.
