Gary Hyde has said that he is taking his three Cubans to fight in America from next February. Alexia Acosta - bantamweight 9(9)-0 Mike Perez - heavyweight 8(6)-0 Luis Garcia - light heavy/SMW 5(4)-0 I've heard good things about these three. It will be very interesting to see how they do. http://news.boxrec.com/news/2009/hughes-victim-acosta-claims-belfast-stoppage
Av heard that perez and garcia dont like training no more and have lost intrest in boxing since leaving cuba
I am! It'd be great to watch them on ESPN's Friday Night Fights. Garcia is a huge raw talent but with motivational issues, Perez is a promising although a bit too short and overly muscular HW with a recent long injury out and Acosta is the most disciplined and healthy of the 3. It's a great trio. A step-up next year would be nice for Alexei, Perez should keep busy and Garcia should simply live up to the expectation instead of turning out to be a huge letdown. 2010 will be critical for these young Cubans.
Acosta is starting to grow on me. I kind of ignored him and kept eye on the other two, but Alexei's keeping active and gradually moving up (slowly) in class. Garcia is arguably the most talented of them all but he's left me disappointed with his lack of dedication.
With a bit of luck Hyde is taking them to the US to get away from distractions in the UK a la Khan I cannot stand wasted talent
