It's been awfully quiet on the Puerto Rican and Cuban front.

    I don't respond to internet troll bait jobs. Good try though. :lol:

    Alberto Machado gets a shot at a title next month. He has some decent skills and good pop but a questionable mandible.

    Middle school semantics. Should have just saved yourself the time and responded nuh uh. :lol:

    Let me enunciate for you, I don't get drawn into heated exchanges with people looking to troll on the internet. I don't get down into it with them, I just tell them how lame and toxic they are. Different things.

    You two clowns came in here to whine about how this was a troll thread simply because you were offended by the
    innocuous thread title and instead of contributing anything to the topic started calling for a mod-ban and hurling out
    "you're such a racist" and "toxic" insults, thereby actually turning this into :gayfight:: Congrats. lol

    Here's a tip for you cupcakes, if you actually believe someone is trolling you, you don't bite the hook.

    At least somebody with a name is actively seeking the next PR heavy hitter.

    On the Cuban side, will the fading of the Castro regime have any effect on the Cuban boxing scene?

    Lara, who fought well against Hurd, just recently called out Jermell. Unfortunately, we all know Jermell will avoid the fight, even after the unification with Hurd takes place.

    Machado is a poor man’s Corrales. He’s tall for the weight, easy to hit, and has one punch, fight changing power in both hands.

    I feel like theyre might been some problems with PR's promoters.
    I remember when Cotto was coming up with Top Rank.
    Top Rank and PRs Best Boxing had world class fighters.
    PR was on the map a big way. We had a bunch of champs.
    Good fights vs Mex were a usual.

    Even since Cotto left Top Rank. TR got behind Verdejo.
    We all know how that went.
    So now TR doesn't have any Boricua star right now and I dont think they have one lined up.

    PR best boxing went down hill with Juanma, Calderon, Wilfredo, Sniper etc retiring.
    I dont even hear anything about PR Best anymore.

    Cotto promotions are the #1 on the island right now. And it seems like Cotto trying to put the family on, but theyre all trash lol.

    Saying it's a troll thread doesn't require one to be offended child. You can project all you want if you need to. And did I ask for you to be banned? See that anywhere in this thread? As a matter of fact, I've rarely insulted yo in this thread, other that calling you a racist. Do you even read posters, or just assume what the other posters say and respond off your own machination?

    If it wasn't a troll thread, you really didn't have to keep acting like a child here did you? Or replying like a spoiled child. You insulted myself firts, and anyone else who thought the same. Tossed out played out words like triggered or snowflake, then made false accusations on me about what I said to you. Do you realize any of that? You have a level of self awareness don't you? How about honesty or integrity?

    And her you are, once again, acting a immature fool, all the while probably thinking you are the better poster in this situation. Oh irony...

    But i'll do you the favor here, and say this,

    If I mistook your thread for a racist troll thread, then my apologies. Just came off like one, especially considering your post history, and the rivalry. This is what being an adult looks like Cyclon. Please take notes.

    I like that comparison. But to be fair, Corrales also looked like poor man's Corrales at that stage of his career.

    I know the restrictions on baseball players have been greatly reduced. Guys are coming and playing here with Cuba's permission now, with MLB teams getting their players/prospects visas.

    Does anybody know if any of those changes are applicable to boxers?
