He faces Teymur Mammadov from Azerbaijan who is probably the 2nd or 3rd best HW. 6'5 southpaw who won Silver at the World championships last year at age 18.

 

Make NO BONES ABOUT IT ,, The cubans are profesionals ,, Ok not in the sence that they fight in Vegas on a golden boy promotion for a million dollars .. But they are employed to trainje FULL TIME as boxers ,, they do not have to work , they are rewarded with cars , accomadation and MOVIE STAR status in there country .

If they make the team and are succesful they don't need the Vegas bull**** they become CUBAN SUPERSTARS .

To me that makes them PROFESIONALS

 

I agree, but why wasn't Solis and some of the 2004 team given that status then?

 

Jai was very unlucky in that one,Lands a clean 3 punch combo in one sequence and only get awarded 3 punches for the last round.The kid is going to be damn good.

 

so is he out or does he get another shot?

 

He is out.

 

Wow he got within a point...spewing I missed it.

 

Hey mate, long time no see... Hope u are well brother

 

Personally at home,he scored more punches,But at the same time he went quiet in the last 2 mins when he was on top and his opponent was very tied and there for the taking.If he had alittle more in the tank it was his,the kid is going to be a star.

Ibrahim was damn unlucky aswell, again at home he landing alot more then where getting scored.

 

Whipsy !!!!! How are ya bro.

 

Very good mate.
We need to catch up for anotehr beer one day, U get down to Sydney much??

 

Savon the SHW was robbed badly by the judges... a gift hometown decision for Anthony Joshua, disgusting.

 

I was very impressed with the young Aussie fighters this morning............ both great talents despite the losses.

Ibrahim was unlucky not to get the nod and the 17yr kid in the heavies just ran out of steam in last minute or so

 

Some bad bad decisions by the judges overnight....back to the old days of amatuer boxing
