 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.
Cuevas was nurtured in a meat-producing atmosphere, with loads of cattle for a growing body.

Cuevas was a granite hard dominating force in the 70's.
My feeling about Cuevas was that for a time he was like other physically dominating champs like Tyson who never seem to get hurt- they all seem unbeatable until they finally lose one, but it takes a while.
It seems that Cuevas' team had forgotten to pack his second and third pair of ring shoes, the ones with RUBBER soles, for that fight.
