This guys weird. Quits after being thumbed earlier in his career when he should be motived, at the age of 38 years and years past his best he losses a narrow split decision to Zab Judah and is dead even with Cory Spinks. What was up with Pineda?
Earlier in his career, he was basically just a guy who relied on his power to win fights. He became a lot cagier in the latter portion of his career.
yea the judah fight was closer than it should have been, he kinda toyed with him for a while and then waited to long to make the win more one sided. i remeber in the 10th or so judah kinda did a threatening jesture across his throat and preceeded to knock him down. to be fair pineda wasnt really a young gun at that point and did look decent
Pineda was a top lightweight early in his career who was VERY SKILLFUL.Next thing I know he's fighting Mark Breland.You should see Tomas Molinare's career if you want to talk about weird!
