Pintor has been a bit overrated at 122 here lately. A good effort against a stationary Gomez where frankly he lost three of every four rounds basically until he got stopped and ate more punches than a man should have to. He got his licks in, but toughness alone doesn't win fights. The other good effort at the weight was a very close decision win over a decidedly average fighter in Juan Meza. I like McKinney over 12 by something like an 8-4 margin, something like that.
Although Pintor could be pretty stiff I think he beats Kennedy. Two very good fighters. I see it as Kennedys jab against Pintors pressure. In the end I'll steal Teddy Atlas line that pressure breaks pipes. Been waiting to use that one lol! . Pintor close UD.
Pintor gave a very faded Gomez Hell, but even a very faded Gomez is better than the best version of McKinney. Pintor wins IMO.
