How many Cuban Boxers in total campaigning in the pros ???

Asere ta buena la lista esa, al fin tenemos una buena cantidad de cubanos en los pros, bamo a ver que pasa porque la mayoria de ellos se me han vuelto bagos y nama estan fiestando el dia entero.

 

Gamboa Express should be deemed the Cuban ESB King. This is guy is all about Cuban boxing 100%.
:good Props man. Thats how you support you're country and their fighters.

 

Esta ola de boxeadors son mas dedicados que las anterior, pero siempre vamos a tener un vago colao en la comparsa.

 

He is the Cuban ESB king, and after half of century without representation, we should support our boxers, I had been rooting for PR and Mexicans over 50 years (I'm not going to stop rooting for them) and now I have over two dozen Cuban fighters, that I can root for, very excited.

 

I remember when my username was JAYCUBAN here, How I was talking about Rigondeaux , Gamboa and Solis years before they defected.

I remember even making a thread about Rigondeaux "the greatest amateur to never turn pro"

Its funny how things have changed since then, I have since met Rigondeaux and I'm working on a documentary on him based on the book by my friend and writer Bin Friesen

 

Holy ****, that's you Jay?

I thought you died?

 

how many of those are champs besides Ganboa????????????????????????

 

Oh so your Jaycuban? Welcome back man. I was wondering why i hadnt seen much of you lately. Sonofcuba was taking over for you it seemed. Yes i do remember you giving us the inside info.

Im a little disappointed with Rigondeaux though in his last fight. I talked him up big to my friends and fam. He was living up to it until he got dropped. He needs to be a little more aggresive. The dude definately does have skills though. Defensive as well as offensive. Those body punches are wicked.
I thought he was gonna stop Cordoba with those shots then once he got dropped he retreated too much.

haha yeah man, they freaking blocked my jaycuban username, till this day i don't know why.

 

Yeah I'm still around, but I totally agree with you in regards to Rigo's last fight bro, I also talked him up big time before the fight and my friends kind of looked at me weird, but he at least made sure to win his first title convincingly, maybe he would have pleased the fans by trading punches the whole fight and who knows maybe we would have been knocked out and his hype gone down the drain. I think he will be impressive in his next fight and make people forget about this past one.

I like Ronnie Shields as a trainer, but there is no doubt in my mind that he was better of with Freddie Roach, hes offense can't look any better cause its prefect but Freddie would have him executing his skills a lot better than Shields has.

I spoke with Freddie 2 weeks before Pacquiao/Margarito and when Rigo's name came up in our conversation... he smiled, put his head down then told me "he's one of a kind... but he has bigger issues than boxing to deal with (and told me about them), it was sad to see him go, but he'll be alright he's one a kind"

 

You've been rooting for Mexican and PR fighters for over 50 years???? Dang how old are you man?

 

Oh god...please don't tell me he's gotten into partying and drugs.
