The Future of CUBA in the Pros, by Weightclasses. (List Inside) ***UPDATED/VIDEO***

Looking like I'll be with Ronnie and Rigo for the week leading up to the fight I'll take some snaps during the week and keep you guys updated

 

Get some videos too

 

Ask Rigo if he wins what's his next step going to be?

 

I hope tv in europa will buy the show. Want to see Rigo vs Cordoba live on tv.
If you are working with Ronnie and Rigo you might get some news about Lara ?
And if they know why former top 3 heavy in cuba Yuniesky Gonzalez not have
had his pro-debut. On the youtube video he looked faster and younger than Ortiz and Consuegra.

 

No cubans in action this weekend. October 19 in Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Florida
Ugas, Abril, Ortiz, Fiz and Hernandez on the card.

 

There's a Spanish article on Ugas featured in el Nuevo Herald:

I wouldn't say I'm working with them I will get some videos for sure.

last time I talked to Ronnie (last month) he said Lara was having trouble getting the fights he needs cause none of those cats at the top level of 154 want to take a fight with him

 

Rigo doesnt make those calls but his next step would be a fight with the regular champ Ryol Li Lee more than likely in america he'll probably have a few other fights at 122 then move to 126.

I'll be doing a daily report while I'm in Texas so I will let you cats know where to find it!

 

Luis Franco has joined Gary Shaw.

 

Good read on Ugas, even through google translate! :thumbsup

He's fighting tomorrow, also Luis Ortiz, Abril, Fiz, Hernandez. Sullivan Barrera 5-0(5) fights Francisco Alvarez 12-1(10) for the WBC Latino 175lbs belt on Friday, Yoelvis Gamboa also appears on the show.

 

Anyone in this forum going to see the fights live in Seminole hard rock hotel and casino tomorrow ? would be fun to get some info. no tv

 

Well I damn hope someone records Ortiz' and Ugas' fight. BTW, do you think Barrera is a sleeper among the more accomplished Cubans?

 

Abril is a good fighter too.

 

Richard Abril 137.25 vs. Jose Reyes 135.75
Luis Ortiz 233 vs. Zach Page 207.75
Innocent Fiz 150 vs. Jose Angel Roman 149.75
Yordenis Ugas 147* vs. Anthony Woods 146
Ugas came in ¼ lb over but shed the excess weight for second weighing.

 

I absolutely love the fact that 3 of the 6 Cubans fighting tonight are matched up pretty damn nice. . . Joey Hernandez vs. Saul Duran. Saul Duran is coming off of that Hector Camacho Win, and Duran was looking pretty confident at the weigh in. It should be competitive. Luis Ortiz is fighting Zack Page who in my opinion, is the toughest Journeyman in the history of the sport. Zack Page has a nicer Win resume than some of the active World Champions right now. IF Luis Ortiz can shut him out or knock him out, I'd put Luis Ortiz as one of the Top 5 Best Active Cubans. His head and upper body movement is unbelievably nice for a Heavyweight. Richard Abril is taking on a real tough one as well. Jose Reyes. Jose Reyes always gave his opponents hell, but I'm not sure if he's the same since Pitalua KO'd him. If Jose Reyes still has his heart, this'll be another competitive one. Glad to see 3 very decent steps up in competition tonight. . . I've never once seen Albert Jimenez (Cuban Glendy Hernandez's opponent) in the Ring so I don't wanna pass any judgment on him. Who knows his fight might be competitive too.
