WBC honors Lupe Pintor in Ixtapaluca<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of Mexico\u2019s all time Greats in Boxing, Lupe Pintor was honored by the WBC at its Martes a Cafe event this week, in Ixtapaluca.<\/p>\n

World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman presented Lupe \u201cEl Grillio de Cuajilmalpa\u201d with a fabled Green and Gold belt to add to the two he already has. And hugged him twice. Once for a champion of his stature simply wouldn\u2019t have been enough!<\/p>\n

A modest, kindly classy man, who is courteous, softly spoken, intelligent, perceptive and who\u2019s developed into a fine Coach, Lupe Pintor so deserves this recognition.<\/p>\n

In the ring he had it all from 1974-1995.<\/p>\n

All this came after the official ribbon cutting of the Simba Boxing School, to nurture future world beating Mexican champions. What a Godfather they have in Jose Guadalupe Pintor. A artist in every sense of the word!<\/p>\n

Lupe\u2019s record is a fabulous 72 fights, including 56 wins, 42 KO\u2019s, 14 losses and two draws.<\/p>\n

He won the WBC bantamweight title defeating friend and stablemate and still friend Carlos Zarate by decision in a titanic and very close fight. Eight successful defenses followed.<\/p>\n

He won the super bantam title defeating Juan Meza. He lost a titanic fight to Wilfredo G\u00f3mez, which was so memorable. Lupe is a member of the International Boxong Hall of Fame<\/p>\n

Gold curtains opened and Lupe walked down some red crimson stairs on to a stage
\ngracefully, attired in a pale grey suit, slim and with a spry fitness belying and defying his age, which is just a number. He still loves to run in the quiet chill of an early morning.<\/p>\n

He won over the audience saying it is such a pride and distinction to win this recognition. Lupe said Don Jose Sulaiman was like a father to him. He said Mauricio is admired and respected the world over.<\/p>\n

He concluded by saying how very proud he is to be a member of the World Boxing Council.<\/p>\n

He had the audience enthralled, eating out of his powerful hand. You could hear a pin drop. And then they gave him a thunderous, heartfelt round of applause, which is still resounding.<\/p>\n

Lupe lined up with fellow great champions: Humberto \u201cChiquita\u201d Gonzalez, Rafael \u201cBazooka\u201d Limon, Pipino Cuevas, Isaac \u201cTortas\u201d Bustos and Francisco \u201cBandido\u201d Vargas. All are his friends. A simply great and so memorable moment.<\/p>\n

What a lineup, what a ceremony, what a treat and what a privilege to witness it!<\/p>\n
