    Just a testement to how different the am's and pros are.
    There are a lot of things that need to be done differently when you are figting 12 x 3 rounds bashing your opponant till he quits as opposed to 4 x 2 of essentially tapping and running.

    These new batch of cubans need to make those adjustments. Not everyone is going to fold in 2 rounds.

    The Cuban amateurs were trained for three round amateur fights. While they are highly skilled, most of them are not prepared for the pro game. Especially, since most of them have had several hundred amateur fights and leave them burnt out for the pro sport.

    One of those could-have-been, should-have-been Heavyweights. A bloody shame he didn't apply himself.
