Jesús "Little Poison" Pimentel (born February 17, 1940, in Sayula, Jalisco, Mexico) was a Mexican bantamweight boxer who fought from 1960 to 1971.

Professional career

[edit]

Pimentel was a fan favorite at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and at The Forum due to his terrific punching power.[citation needed] Pimentel won 77 bouts, 68 by knockout, and lost 7.

Despite his record, Pimentel was denied a chance at the bantamweight title until he was past his prime. His last professional fight was an unsuccessful attempt to wrest the crown from all-time great bantamweight champion Rubén Olivares on December 14, 1971. Despite a valiant effort, Olivares stopped Pimentel on an eleventh round TKO.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
