I see Brown starting off boxing - moving round Cuevas and boxing extremely nicely in range: dipping in and jabbing to the body, giving the odd feint, disrupting Pipino's thoughts, etc. However I think Cuevas, who is commanding the centre of the ring, would tag him - might be fewer than 6 times a round, for the first three rounds. These would have an effect, IMO.
In the middle rounds it might be Cuevas who has to do a bit of boxing, as Brown starts feeling the burn, and comes forward.
But by the later rounds - after the tenth - I think Brown would be lucky to not be hurting, and if he wasn't pulled out (perhaps in similar fashion to Harold Weston) by the doctor or his corner, then this fading would cost him on the cards. So I guess my final prediction would be Cuevas by retirement, within two rounds of the finish.
