Pryor Vs. Cervantes. Did Cerv bite off more than he could chew at 140? A title bout?

    Antonio starting in 1977,,,,,,,was a hot-and-cold fighter.

    Sometimes very good, and sometimes lethargic.

    Claimed he was born in December 1945,,,,,,,but highly debataable.

    Threw the March 1976 fight with Wilfred Benitez for $200,000 - plus a side bet that netted
    him and his Manager - Ramiro Machado $45,000 - and a guarantee for a rematch
    in December 1976 in Venezuela.

    Gregorio 'Papa' Benitez 'reneged' on the 'hand-shake agreement', and the WBA 'stripped'
    Wilfred in December 1976, and never let the Benitez Family fight for a WBA Championship
    ever again..........

    Cerv shouldnt have put his belt on the line..especially with a debut in a new division.
