~ More Skinny ~
According to Joey Lopes {Manager for Pete Ranzany}
"We wanted to take the fight to 'Pipino' in the 1st-Round. We wanted to test both his
heart and chin."
"Well, we found out that he had both. In all honesty, we know that Pete would have had
a better chance against Carlos Palomino, based on styles."
"Carlos was a plodder, and he always got off to a slow-start. Pete wouldn't have had to
deal with the heavy-pressure early. It was my mistake, as I should have waited to get
Pete a shot at Carlos, or even Wilfred Benitez for later in 1979."
"In 1978, I can't name a better or harder hitting Welterweight than 'Pipino' Cuevas."
