--- Canelo was winning these fights, not losing.

Ace effort by pipino, but he was mullered.

Pipino had a great left hook

--- Here's Tony Ayala age 17 vs a prime title contender.

I was 7 going on 8, lived at 818 Jeannie ave, and my mom brought me ego waffles(she worked there). Great fight.

I was always a fan of Lil big men who could drop bombs.

I’m curious about you? Where in Mexico do you and your people come from? I’m Mexican, kinda, my Gradfather was an Apache from Monterey, Nuevo León, my other familia are ***s from Poland, via Chicago. I’m a pocho, my Spanish is good, but I’m a gringo in Mexico.
