    Fitz is the king of idiotic statements. Can you believe he picked Alfonso Gomez to KO Miguel Cotto? :lol:

    Man.. Fitzgerald.. you are the biggest dumbass on this forum by far... You've seen one Rigondeaux fight and think you're an expert on his fighting style and his defensive prowess.. do the world a favor and shut the **** up. You make Americans look bad.

    There are some in Ireland that are in their early 20's, they already started their own pro careers.

    Erislandy is 25, and he's looking good so far.

    Exactly. It's a way for a highly skilled fighter to lure their opponent in sometimes.

    Fitzgerald, let me guess... You live in Miami and you see every Cuban dude around with gorgeous chix and good jobs/business while you can't pay your trailer rent, is that it?

    I noticed that most of the cuban prospects have the same fighting stance, wide feet, leans to the side and an abusive hook

    Somebody had to say it. You are absolutely right. Boxing fans slobber all over these guys before they've done **** in a pro ring. It's ridiculous.

    No no he seriously believes what he's saying. Even the most ardent BS-er sits there before he reads something and says "Man, I can't believe I'm writing this out!" Fitz writes it up and goes "This is the greatest piece of information I've ever shared ever."

    How are cuban amateurs overrated? As what? Amateurs?

    As pros? Well they're cuban pros then aren't they? Not necessarily amateurs at that point are they?

    Juan Carlos Gomez was a world champion for a long time. He had over 300 amateur fights.

    You clueless ****er, he's a counter puncher who was facing a guy who was too scared to punch, he had his hands down to invite the other guy in, when you have superior speed and reflexes you can do that. Whitaker often had his hands low and you wouldn't say he has no defense would you? Someone who has no defense is someone who gets hit. Did Rigondeaux get hit? NO HE DIDN'T. Now step away from your computer and learn something about boxing before you make any more clueless comments.
