Pipino Cuevas vs Harold Weston

[Spicoli]

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.
