	Billy Backus: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Billy Backus
		The year was 1970 and world champion Jose Mantequilla Napoles[?] had earned the right to make an optional defense (meaning he could pick any challenger among the top ten to defend against), and his management, figuring they'd have an easy fight ahead of them, picked Backus as the challenger for this optional title bout.
		But Backus landed a punch that opened a cut over Napoles' eye in round one, causing Napoles to bleed profusely, and the fight was stopped in round four.
		He finished 1971 with a ten round decision win over Jose Gabino[?], and went 3-2 in 1972, losing two fifteen round decisions to world title challenger Hedgemon Lewis[?].

		This is a bit of a let-down, although it would not have been gentlemanly for Santo and Mantequilla to tussle with a "female" monster (however, it is doubtful if actress Kiki Herrera Calles, or any woman for that matter, actually played La Llorona in makeup--the makeup isn't bad, actually).

		Jose Luis Castillo should be given the benefit of the doubt that he was truly injured leading up to the fight.
		Jose Luis only has a certain amount of fights left in him, I think he will hang them up when he thinks the time is right.
		Jose Luis made a side bet of $100,000 with Diego’s promoter, Gary Shaw, that is how confident Castillo was of finishing the job he started in their last fight.

	Boxing: RSR Looks Back at WBA Welterweight Champion Jose “Pipino” Cuevas
		For the ‘70’s former WBA Welterweight Champion Jose Cuevas, 35-15, 31 KO’s, the margin for knocking out his opponents were just as academic as in the way he used to do it, and about as intoxicating in the measure in which he took to breaking them down.
		Born Jose Cuevas on December 27th 1957 in Santo Tomas de Los Platanos, Mexico, to a hard working Mexican father, and an Italian mother; she took no time at all to name the diminutive Baby-Faced Assassin toddler “Pipino,” before anyone would confirm to calling him Pepe.
		May 20th 1978, his sixth defense came in Inglewood, against rough Billy Backus, the same guy who beat Jose “Mantequilla” Napoles for the welterweight title, got his crack at Cuevas.
