You're thinking of Cuenca, he has 1 KO. I've seen him once and he's "alright" but his record is completely padded. Amazing that him, Maidana and Matthyse are all at 140, from the same country...and yet none of them met...and 2 of them are monster punchers whilst the other one makes Paulie look like he has dynamite hands.Datsue wrote:Gazmac81 wrote:hes fought a few guys 2 or 3 times

It can't just be that, surely? I mean, he's a Latin American who fights at Super-feather, not exactly the problem you'd have with, say, a Japanese heavyweight or summink.
He just seems like one of those "special case" Latinos. Didn't Dario Azuaga get to about 66-0 or something stupid, then they let him off the leash (as it were) & he stayed about ten years past his "prime" getting beat on by just about every fringe contender, gatekeeper & world title also-ran you could name from super-fly to superbantam. Big fish in small ponds, as it were, quite happy to keep padding just in case someone famous needs a knockover job with a pretty record for a world title fight.
Ah well, if it keeps 'em happy...
PS: There's an Argie light-welter (I think) who's in his thirties & is about 40-0, with something ridiculous like one knockout. Is he Niccolino Locche reborn? Or is he another Azuaga? & does anyone care?

Yeah. But in amongst that, Pongsaklek's fought some absolute killers. Sosa has beaten Viloria, another champ in the same division, Miranda had a world title for a bit after PW beat him, Sor Rungvisai's now the champ in the division above. PW has, basically, cleaned out the effing division. He's like boxers used to be, in that he stays busy by fighting chumps instead of taking six months off between proper fights. I can forgive someone like him or Julio Cesar Chavez (senior) fighting chumps every other month when they both destroy proper fighters amongst it.Londonirish wrote:Mensa07 wrote:33rd fight was against a debutant!

This Peruvian kiddie has never fought anyone even remotely decent, ever.
He's the bloke Datsue was talking about :-)damianhucker1 wrote:http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer
This guy made me smile a few days ago , 42-0 and ranked no4 in argentina at light welter .
Is he the most feather fisted fighter or what , just 1 ko in those 42 wins , now THAT is an ideal opponent for someone , especially looking at his record .

There were A LOT of this guys in the fight last night, they use a green shirt. And their mentality is like what you have witnessed, violent.
It´s really a shame because an organized crime union, makes all argentinean look bad. I admit argentinean people is like somebody told before "volatile" but mostly in football games. Normal people respect boxers a lot, but some organizations have been involved in the sport lately and its a shame.
Another organization involved is ATILRA (another sindicate), you can see them dressed in yellow. A lot of boxers are supported by ATILRA, but there has never been problems, though they bring their guys to fights too. For example, Maidana was supported by atilra before golden boy. You can see him dressed in their colours in the kotelnik fight, corley fight, and some other fights.
Hugo Garay works with them too (he actually works in the sindicate), and most of his fights wears their clothes.
Matthysse too... and plenty of others.
Boxing has little to none support from the government here, so, boxers go to this sindicates looking for help.
So, its a shame, but it is like it is. Police didnt do anything cause, if they get involved, they get sanctioned!!! Its incredible, but true.
Anyway, what i tried to explain is that normal argentinean people like me, are not like that, but we get constantly bashed because of this organizations with criminal behaviour. Its a shame and i feel sorry for Casimero who did a great fight. Lazarte should never fight again because he encourages the crowd to act like this, he should be banned for life.
