[Bill Paxtom]

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.
