Cuban Yordenis Ugas = future welterweight star !!!

He is a little raw right now, but I am extremely excited about him. He definitely needs to work on his footwork. I thought Teddy's comments during the fight were very accurate. He said that sometimes Yordenis stepped in too much when throwing a punch, like he was overanxious. That seems really accurate to me, but it should be corrected as he gets more in-ring experience at the pro level and gets more training.

Anybody know anything about the trainer he was with, John David Thomas or something?

 

That's exactly what I have been saying for years. Little by little, they are here now, before it was just a matter of " what if the Cubans were here " but now they are defecting in big numbers. And, the vast majority of them are still in Cuba. How would it be then if Cuba was completely free? Get the picture ??? :hey

 

Along with Gamboa and Rigondeaux, Ugas follows. The kid just blew me away " Gamboa style " with his vicious speed, accuracy, aggression and power. Tell you what, he will be one of the best Cuban pro Champions...:good

Better than Lara, Solis, Johnson, Despaigne, Acosta, Perez, etc...:bbb

 

they dont even have one in the top 20 p4p so i doubt they'll be owning anything...

:hat

 

It's because Cuba's leading man Gamboa only has 18 pro fights and the rest are kind of starting. The man said, " in a few years ". Can't you ever say anything positive about the Cuban boxers? After all, Cuba is Puerto Rico's brother...:-(

I agree with him, Gamboa, Rigondeaux, Lara and later Ugas will be cracking the P4P's very soon...:good

 

puertorricane cant even sleep thinking in these cubans who soon are gonna kick some boricuas asses...he knows whats coming soon: Gamboa-Lopez,Lara-Cotto,Rigondeaux-VazquezJr,Ugas-Cintron...poor man.atsch

 

ugas is a beast still very raw but im sure he will develope just fine

 

Yep, that's what it seems mi amigo! :-(

Hermano, who is that Cuban boxer Zapata in your avatar? Never heard about him and I almost know all of them! :huh

 

No dis, but I don't see what the hype is about! Now Gamboa is something to be hype about but this kid is not even walking yet. Let him keep crawling. Too Soon

 

Gotta move these Cubans fast man. Rigo should have a title shot in his next 2 or 3 fights!!!

 

how many fighters in the top 20 have less than 20 fights..... dun worry i'll wait for ur answer:admin

 

He looked pretty good in his ESPN debut, though it was clear he's in the early adjustlng-to-pro period. Nice to see him staying busy and it's simply superb to see John David Jackson in the corner. I consider Ugas as one of the top Cuban boxers out there who has tremendous potential, but known for a suspect chin, so how far can he go is really up to him and the next two years. One thing is for sure, he's got excellent athleticism, a crowd-pleaser right hand and seemingly the right mentality Cuban pros very often lack. I wish him good luck and a successful career.

 

No hermano,Zapata wasnt a boxer,he was a political prisioner who recently went into a hunger strike and died in jail after been tortured in every way.This was my tribute to him after his death.

 

needs more fights. he has the experience he just needs to climb the ranks FAST
