Official Team Cuba Olympic Boxing thread, results, updates ... by weight classes.

Actually I was wrong , it wasn't Robeisy , it was Veitia who got caught with the bodyshot by this Thai . Robeisy was defeated on his first bout against the Russian Misha Aloyan who went on to win the title . They were talking about it last night on the BBC tv . Peace .

 

i am intently waiting for the result of this fight. the winner would face the winner of our sole representative who is fighting a kazakh.

 

That kid Barriga is very good , hope he medals . Peace .:good

 

That isn't what I was trying to say at all mate, I think you've missed what I was trying to say. All I'm saying is that the Cuban system is designed to get good amatuer boxers since there is no pro boxing in Cuba. Now some guys have a style that translates really well into the pro ranks, Gamboa, Rigo etc. Those guys are "pros in vests" although I hate the cliche. The style of some of the fighters doesn't translate well though and they sometimes fall by the wayside if/when they go pro.

I'm wasn't saying that they can't fight pro what I'm saying is that the system in Cuba doesn't take consideration of things they would need if they go pro since it isn't supposed to be a thing Cuban fighters do.

I wasn't saying they just learned to fight when they go pro, just that some fighters adapt to the pro ranks and some don't, I admit that I didn't put that across well though lol.

 

Cool bro , I get it now . :good . Peace .

 

both our guys just lost. veitia against zhou and barriga against the kazakh boxer. close scores 17-16 for the kazakh guy. i haven't seen the entire fight but only the last few seconds. ****! some deductions costing barriga the game.

 

I'm worried about Larduet ( 91k ) , he looked awful in his last fight . Peace .

 

Doc is digging in cubans threads about young amateurs, he is afraid more boxers will be defecting and put his mexs in jeopardy..he already have enough with Lara,Gamboa and Rigo!

 

Can you imagine if the full squad jumps? Doc will have a heart attack

 

Did Alvarez win earlier?

Ok a Mexican is Lara's Daddy, Gamboa would get killed at 135 by Demarco or Vazquez take your pic... and Rigo's glass Jaw would be shattered by Mares so me afraid ? lara afraid of rematching molina, gamboa was afraid of Rios, there is no fear on this side but look at yourselves in the mirror, Canelo would ****ing TKO lara back to cuba in a banana boat.

These amateur spoilers with their hugging can defect all they want, Cuba can't even Carry Mexico's nuts when it comes to pro boxing :deal
