	Lupe Pintor
		Pintor became world champion, but his relationship with Zarate, already strained, took another hit, and he and Zarate have publicly debated the result of that fight for the last two decades after their confrontation.
		Pintor was a busy champion, and he began by doing three non title bouts, beating Ausencio Melendez[?] by a knockout in the first, avenging his loss to Lopez, with a ten round decision win, and losing to Manuel Vazquez by a knockout in six, in a rematch fight.
		Pintor re-took his career and was able to avenge his loss to Davila in his next fight, retaining the title with a decision in fifteen, and then he retained the belt against Jose Uziga[?], again by decision, and Jovito Rengifo[?], by a knockout in eight.

	World Bantamweight Challenge. Johnny Owen v Lupe Pintor.
		Pintor, who was seeking his 34th knockout in 50 fights, does not have the great power of former title holder Carlos Zarate, but he keeps up a steady attack and has worn out many strong fighters.
		It is part of the mystique of boxing to witness a crowd brought to the edge of hysteria, for that is a tribute to the courage of the fighters and in the intensity of their battle.
		Pintor and his manager visited the critically injured boxer and paid their respects to his family.

	Mythical Head2Head: Jeff Chandler vs. Lupe Pintor - The Cyber Boxing Zone Message Board
		Lupe was particularly adept at working his way inside, where he concentrated his focus on the liver and rib cage of opponents.
		Pintor worked his way out of Tijuana gyms overflowing with talent and desire, and was fighting 10-round bouts by his second fight in the pros.
		Pintor won because he remained composed in the face of danger, but that doesn’t change the fact that his scar tissue would have presented significant problems against the sharp-punching Chandler.

	Boxing News : 2002 Hall of Fame Inductees Enter with Grace
		Pintor and Canto — who represent two ends of the spectrum of Mexico's rich boxing tradition (Canto being the master boxer and Pintor being the quintessential slugger) — were both soft spoken and thankful for the recognition bestowed upon them.
		Pintor was brave and brilliant in defeat, taking Gomez to and beyond human limits of pain and endurance before succumbing to the Puerto Rican's incredible power in the 14th round.
		Pintor, a former bantamweight and 122-pound champ who finished his career with a 56-14-2 (42) record, will always be remembered for his epic battles with fellow greats Carlos Zarate and Gomez, as well as his slick boxing rival Alberto Davila.

		Pintor was riding a five-fight winning streak into his match with Zarate, and his record was dotted with impressive wins over the likes of Willie "Birdlegs" Jensen (KO 7), Gerald Hayes (W10) and Antonio Beccera (W10), who six months earlier became the only man to defeat Salvador Sanchez.
		Pintor stunned Zarate in the eighth with a shotgun jab and though he fared well in the late rounds, many thought Zarate did enough to earn the 15-round decision.
		By the time Pintor entered the ring for his second shot at the WBC super bantamweight title against Meza, the former 118-pound king was a living legend in Mexican boxing.

	Lupe Pintor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In what was the only HBO Boxing appearance ever for both Gómez and Pintor, they battled in what Ring: Boxing in The 20th Century called one of the most brutal fights of 1982, and Ring Magazine called the Fight of The Decade at the Jr.
		But Gómez retained his title by a knockout in the 14th, and Pintor was left to make a decision: He had to decide whether he wanted to fight at a heavier weight, or go back to the Bantamweights and keep as world champion there.
		Pintor expressed his marvel at Wales' views and his desire of living there in the future.

		The official pointed out the irony that California has not had a ring death since 1980 and Florida – the state Garcia worked for until his appointment in California - has had multiple ring deaths, as has the state of Nevada.
		In fact, California had three ring deaths within the same year: Johnny Owens (who lost to Lupe Pintor), Kiko Bejenes and Rico Velazquez, up in Sacramento.
		Owens' death was peculiar because he took a bad beating in a very busy fight with Pintor, but afterwards, was laughing and joking in the ring, holding up Pintor's arm when the victor was announced.

		Salvador Sanchez, Wilfredo Gomez, Carlos Zarate, Azumah Nelson, Lupe Pintor.
		Classic fights such as Salvador Sanchez v Azumah Nelson, Wilfredo Gomez against Lupe Pintor, and Danny Lopez v Mike Ayala resulted, and can never be replaced.
		It is a factor that can decide the outcome of evenly matched fights, and is at least partly responsible for 118 pounder Lupe Pintor’s cave in against Wilfredo Gomez back in 1982 at super bantamweight and Gomez’ thrashing at the hands of featherweight Salvador Sanchez a year earlier.
