Dorticos might be ruined for good

I'm sure a lot of street fighters in Cuba (especially among those who are black) have very strong chins. But (for some reason) they don't do well as Cuban amateurish boxers. Rather those guys are not considered good enough to represent Cuban boxing. I guess boxers with long arms and those who can run a lot get the privilege. And there's only one (monopolistic) system of boxing in Cuba (so all their boxers are somehow similar as a result). Then all those boxers come into (American) professional boxing and they suffer from having a weak chin. And people make erroneous conclusions that all Cubans have weak chins.

 

Haven't you thought by the way that all Mexicans having iron jaws is also Survivorship bias (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias)? Maybe it's just because Mexico as a country doesn't care much about boxing (like USSR or Cuba cared), so only those street-fighter style guys do well in their system of boxing? Partly it's also because Mexican fans prefer that kind of boxing.
So, again only those type of boxers ("brawlers"/pressure fighters) "survive" there, then they come to the US and peoples say "Oh, all Mexicans have iron jaws".

 

Dorticos seems like a though dude and it wasn't that bad of a beating. In the end it was due to exhaustion.
Thats by 2 cents.

 

Well, I can't argue with this, because I haven't punched a Mexican yet. And I do believe in genetics, and racial differences.
But, again, those black Cuban boxers are genetically the same as any other African boxers.

 

It just can't be so, because those 500 years (or so) is not enough to change human genetics.

 

Dorticos took a beating, so he needs to rest take an easy fight, then come back, he very well might not be the same...................after Gassiev knocked him out..........................Taylor was never the same after Chavez beat him the first time, much less the second time...............

 

actually it was Kessler WHO cracked andrades chin. Bute stopped andrade With bodyshots In Their rematch . Andrade wasnt The same after his battle with Kessler.

 

Dorticos lack of punch variety and lack of ring IQ, were his undoing. Any future opponent would be wise to come forward behind a high guard and work him on the inside. It was cringe worthy watching him throw the same right hand into Gassiev's glove over and over again, without any variation of attack. Boxing from the outside on his toes would have been a better plan of action.
