    Well, this is good news that I didn't expect to hear for a few more years.

    This is a big improvement for the WSB, we get to see all of Cubas top fighters without headgear. Hopefully fighters will allowed to go pro for real in Cuba soon, rather than just in the WSB

    Well hopefully they're allowed to REALLY go pro soon and not just the WSB halfway house.

    So many great fighters lost to the pro ranks.

    Norway and North Korea are now the only countries in which professional boxing is illegal.

    Wasn't expecting this, good news for the Cuban boxers.. Hopefully in a few years we get some more professional competition from them in the states.

    Its a crying shame. Boxing has missed out of so many potentially great Cuban fighters over the last 50 years ago or so, and so many of great talents that Cuba has produced have been forced to live in poverty when they would be millionaires in another country. BS

    Now we'll see less Cuban professional swimmers.

    (oh and of course professional rowers too.)
