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.
On July 17th 1976 in Mexicali, BN, Mexico, a youngster of only eighteen years of age, Jose Cuevas took Espada’s crown by ferociousness and voracity via a TKO in round two.
