Could be an upset special, but unless you have money to make on the odds I don't think you could pick against Cuevas in this one. Good one for the fans anyway.
Some great exchanges but I don't trust Lopez to let his hands go enough to win... Pipino outworks him and earns his respect with that hook
Hell of a fight here. In a 15 round fight, Cuevas wins on points or TKO due to facial swelling as he was a more dedicated athlete than Lopez and had better stamina. Lopez will do better with Cuevas in a 12 round fight, but I cannot imagine Pipino Cuevas being scheduled for a 12 round fight for any world championship. That will be like scheduling a Super Bowl for 3 quarters.
