Thread: Pipino Cuevas vs Harold Weston

Cuevas was WW champ at 18. When he was on a roll, his best years, he was hard to beat. @Master. Willie Pep doing the commentary. Cuevas does a ton of damage to Weston by the end. Broken jaw, cheek bone. Very heavy hands.

In some of his fights I could swear I heard bones crack. I used to call him bone crusher long before Smith ever came along.

Harold Weston Jr.

He later said that he had hit Pipino Cuevas with numerous 'pin-point' right-hands. The best punches that he ever landed in a fight.

He shook Pipino, and slowed him down a bit. But that was all he could do.

Harold Weston Jr. >

"I couldn't believe the power that he had for a young kid, and only at 147 lbs. He was like a
'Wrecking Ball'. He just kept coming........ Bam, Bam, Bam."

Both were good fighters. Pipino had good jab and left hook, very well conditioned. Hard and tough fight.

I'll watch this tonight.

Harold Weston Jr.

'Baby Harold'

Born; March 1952

Managed by; Harold Weston Sr. & Howie Albert
Trained by; Gil Clancy

'Crafty, Cool and Calm'

Before facing Joe 'Pipino' Cuevas for the WBA Welterweight Championship in March 1978.

25 1/2 year-old 'Baby Harold' had gone unbeaten in 3-Years with a record of 7-0-4 {1 KO}, and in
all '4-Draws' he was arguably the better fighter.

Also, Harold's 'box-and-move' style would have been very difficult for WBC Champion - Carlos Palomino.

Fact > Harold gave Wilfred Benitez more trouble than Carlos Palomino gave Wilfred.

That tells you just how good Jose 'Pipino' Cuevas was in early-1978.

Weston was a sharp accurate boxer from what I've seen. Did very well to hit a solid streak after being drafted into the Army early 70's, basically a part time pro needing waivers to take some fights. Cuevas was just a brute!

Funny enough I watched Hearns v Cuevas, that was a fight that put Hearns on the road to
greatness, Pipino was a tough SOB he could punch a bit himself.
