    He contested with seven future, former and current world champions in a one belt era, some had seen better days of course but it was simply who was in front of him. He was polite and renowned for his clean style of fighting in an era where it was acceptable to stand over an opponent Pancho as honorable as they came volunteered to go to a neutral corner. As for a total Pancho finished his career with a record of 10-3-2-2 (2 KOs) against former, current, and future world champions. he achieved all of this in a brief life before he was taken by unfortunate circumstances.

    What did you think was next for Pancho? If lets say he had been blessed with another decade of fighting.


    -rest easy Pancho you will not be forgotten.

    Thank you Stevie-

    He was one of the greatest FWs ever and still such an unfinished product- He proved so much in such a little amount of time it is a tragedy we never had a chance to see what he would blossom into.
