    I'm hearing from a very good source from Miami that Luis Franco has defected right now i dont have much information or knowledge of who the guy is i think he is only 23 and when gamboa was out with an injury he became the national champion here is all i could find on him


    He also went to the 2004 athens olympics when he was only 18 and lost in the quaterfinals

    I am always happy to hear someone was able to escape Castro's regime. Looks like this guy is young enough to make it. I hope he doesn't go crazy when he taste freedom. He might actually have a chance of doing something good.

    You'd be hard pressed to find many Cubans with that sentiment.

    Bull****!!! Embargo?? How come Fidel and his family have everything they need. Venezuela and Bolivia trade with them. Has anything happens to Bolivia and Venezuela?? I don't think so. You think I can't find Cuba??? I have been there. And I grew up in Puerto Rico. So, its not too far.
