Felix Diaz, Dominican Gold Medalist turns Pro!

As long as boxers benefit, I don't care how they do it.

But more than the money Arena presents, I'm more impressed how they pulled it off with the top TV networks in Germany and the US in such a short time. I might be wrong, but wasn't at least one of Gamboa's fight broadcasted in Cuba? Also, Öner has to have some good connections, making the Cubans' trips available, VISAs and stuff, it is quality job. Now add Arena's good relationship with US promoters like Shaw, Golden Boy and recent participations in some purse bids and Arena promoted shows in the US and the fanbase they are building, it's a company looking for stay for a long time.

 

I'm still waiting for Arena to stage the press conference announcing the recent new signings, Felix Diaz and the four Cubans.

To be totally impressed, I only wish Öner to sign Vasyl Lomachenko and have one potential superstar on the European scene as well.

 

Is that the Ukrainian heavyweight who boxed in the '08 Olympics?

 

no, i believe he's the ukranian featherweight who dominated his competition throughout every match. best boxer in the whole games.

 

vasyl is a featherweight. he is one of the most impressive boxer i have ever seen! he is just so slick when he moves!

 

John Joe Joyce was very unlucky to lose to Diaz in the Olympics.

Bloody points deductions.

But hopefully Diaz will make a good pro.
