Robin Pinto

Robin Pinto (born May 25, 1961 in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada) is a former female boxer who fought professionally from 2001 to 2002.

Pinto had a very short, but noise making, career in women's boxing. The shortness of her career may have been because she began boxing at the age of forty, and she had no previous amateur boxing experience before that. Nevertheless, she still went on to fight some of female boxing's top fighters and contenders.

Her very first fight, on April 7, 2001, was against a well known boxer: that night, she was defeated by a four round decision by Yvonne Caples, in Rochester, Washington.

On September 25 of that year, she beat Brandy Leon by a four round unanimous decision, for her first victory, at Phoenix, Arizona.

On March 30, 2002, Pinto faced a women's boxing world champion for the first time. In only her third bout, she lost to Para Draine by a four round decision in Tacoma, Washington.

Pinto then lost to Marilyn Salcido, then considered a future women's boxing star, by a four round decision, in Laughlin, Nevada, on April 21.

On June 27, she faced Nicole Salazar, winning a four round decision over Salazar, who was making her professional boxing debut that night, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Pinto retired from boxing after a four round draw (tie) in Cornwall, Ontario against Heather Stevens. In what can perhaps be considered an irony, her last career fight was also her first fight in her home country.

Despite her age and the number of well known boxers she faced, Pinto never lost a fight by knockout.

Pinto retired from boxing with 2 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw, without any knockout wins.
