The overhyped Cuban boxer thread--the list is long

Rigondeaux is no hype. He just got motivation problem sometimes. Despaigne fought with a lot of heart vs Syllakh who's on his way to become very very good.

 

You left out a lot of Cubans! :nut

 

My top Cubans are Gamboa, Rigondeaux, Solis and Jhonson. These are simply the best Cuba has to offer. Then comes Lara, Franco, Rances, Dorticos, Garcia, Perez, Acosta, Salinas, Ortiz, Hernandez, Despaigne, Yuniesky etc.

What happens is that the media have placed their hype into the wrong Cuban fighters. Yudel Jhonson is much better technically than Lara and yet no one hardly talks about him as much as Lara. Gamboa and Rigo does deserve all the hype as they are Cuba's crown jewel, the rest are very good solid prospects but they still have to prove themselves and I believe that many of them will do it!

 

No, no bad ones, you left out around 10 Cubans.

 

Now they are claiming that Gamboa would easily knock Pac out in a complete mismatch at any weight, so let's see that fight now. I will bet on Pac.

 

Solis just went down.

 

This homo masquerading as a " boxing fan " dont know what to say next , between us I would like to ask you something : ¿ which cuban broked you ? You used to be an ass virgen , but now it looks that its broken , ¿ did a cuban broked it ? You used to be an ASS , now with it broken you are just an ******* .

 

This was the kind of performance I was hoping to see from Gamboa. Big supporter here from the moment he turned pro, but I gotta say the shaky moments vs. Barros and Salido were cause for concern, he got hit flush by solid shots and he was in trouble vs. the Argentinean. Yet he blew Solis, his best and physically biggest opponent away in impressive fashion (other than the rabbit punches he must get rid of and soon), and he admitted this was an important improvement over last year's flawed performances. Like Roy said, it's all about the balance between a mobile outfighter and an aggressive inside puncher, and he combined it well yesterday. On the other hand I'd love to seem him staying on the inside and learning some Bradley/Ward/Hopkins stuff, after all he's a very compact puncher and could be a devastating inside fighter. Suits him better than boxing on the move with such short hands.
