Jose 'Pipino' Cuevas vs. Pete Ranzany ~ 'WBA Welterweight Championship'

[Bill Paxtom]

Pete Ranzany

"I really don't remember anything after that left-hook {1:20 Mark}. I have never been
hit like that before. 'Pipino' had so much power, that his punches cracked your bones."

"I had sparred with Carlos Palomino, and I fought Armando Muniz. They were both real
hard punchers, but neither of them could hit like 'Pipino'. His punches went into you,
and left you numb."

Pete Ranzany

Took a beating in Round 2, getting floored 'twice' and absorbing a frightful battering
to the head from Jose 'Pipino' Cuevas.

Yet, Pete was still on his feet when the bout was stopped.

A tough guy.

Back Right > Referee - Isidoro Rodriguez consoles a still upright Pete Ranzany, as the bout
is stopped at {1:57} of Round 2.
