    Igualmente aqui, mi amigo. Saludos para todos los cubanos!

    And how could i forget to mention Casa's fight against Katsidis? That was a beautiful counter left he caught him with, what a fight that was! :good

    i have always had mad respect for the cuban fighters...Jose Napoles is one of my all time favorites, was just a beautiful fighter to watch...Casamayor, Gamboa, and Rigodeaux are awesome as well, when it comes to the modern cubans...I really liked what i saw from Lara as well on the Williams fight. Such a shame they robbed him, Lara really gave Williams a boxing lesson.

    Why are all Cuban boxers black? Don't they have white boxers who can fight well?

    Has Cuba ever had a good/great white fighter? I'd like to know.

    There have been many good white Cuban boxers like Douglas Rodriguez , Maikro Romero , Jorge Gutierrez , Angelo Santana , etc , the problem is that many of them choose to play baseball instead of boxing . Peace .
