Pipino Cuevas vs Jose Napoles

[Nile4000]

15/147, who wins?

[goose 5]

Napoles by a shutout.

A different class. Mantequilla by decision. But, we can't dismiss Pipino's punching power out.

If they fight 10 times, at least Pipino wins one. He was better than Billy Backus and John H. Stacey at least.

I'd agree with that last statement. Cuevas is a big enough puncher that given enough chances he'd eventually take out Napoles or bust him open with a big shot, and cut him badly (Napoles was a bleeder)

But more often than not Napoles is gonna outbox him clearly.

Cuevas would have his moments trying to land his big left hooks in the early rounds, but Napoles' long jabs and counterpunches to wear Cuevas down and stopping him in the late rounds.
