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

Why are you so butthurt?? Did a Cuban take your ex?

 

A Mexican is Lara's Daddy? I assume you are referring to Carlos Molina. That fight resulted in a draw, but could of gone either way. It was a tough competitive fight, but nobody owend the other that night. There should be a rematch, but DeCubas, who manages both fighers doesn't want it just yet.

Gamboa would have his hands full with DeMarco at 135, but I expect another performance like he did against Ponce De Leon. Now with Vasquez, that would be a very interesting fight being that "El Titere" is not you typical Mexa. This kid is a pure boxer, it will be a very technical fight. But let's be honest here and not let Mexican pride get the better of us, Gamboa is extremely skilled and has a great combination of speed and power to allow him to get a the win in both situations. Against DeMarco, if Gamboa makes a mistake like against Salido it could cost him his undeafeted record so the Cubano will have to be fast, accurate, and stay sharp.

Mares has already been defeated by Rigondeax, but it was under very different circumstances, the Amatuers. Both have shown great skills in the pros, I don't know if Mares can figure out "El Chacal". Mares will have to constantly make adjustments and then readjust again, not only that but he will have to be ready to withstand some punishment. I do give Mares a chance at Guillermo Rigondeax. But he has to fix a couple of things with his attacks, like leading in low with his head and dropping his right, he's begging to get countered by left uppercuts.

But as far as Canelo, :-(, ese cabroncito is more protected than the gold at Ft. Knox. Right now Lara would outbox him and more than likely TKO him around the 8th. Canelo has potential and is improving, but right now.. toda via le falta! I know you have high hope for Canelo, I do too. But let's be real here man! He is a protected fighter that is being fed sub par compitition not suited for a Champion.

 

Well I guess i won't get to see the Bantam weight fight between Alvarez vs Valdez being that the Irishman beat the Mexican...argggghhh

Hey was the win that Zou got over Veitia a fair and deserved one in you guys opinion? I mean besides the fact that Zou was 31 years old.

 

These crazy games are ruining my health , let's see Toledo how he does tonight , he's going against a good oponent and Lomachenko goes against the Boricua , that one's very good too . Hope the Boricua doesn't get robbed . Peace .

 

I appreciate the compliment compay, I'm a fan of the sport of boxing first and foremost. I admit, I wasn't always that way.

Doc is a very knowledgable poster himself and does give props to fighters form other nationalities as well. He's just really stuck on Canelito right now and will defend him all the way, in my opinion Canelo doesn't deserve the support of a die hard fan like Doc right now until he proves himself. But it's not my business to be telling people who to support and how to.

Saludo a mis hermanos Cubanos que vienen de donde crece la palma!!!

 

Bon Bon, it would be great if you can do a little round by round on that if time permits. :good thanks in advance.

 

:rofl

Lomachenko has been doing very well, I would be surprised if the Boricua can beat him. I got the Bori as the underdog in this one but I am pulling for him.

Latinos Unidos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

is there any gamboa, rigondeaux esque fighters? or ones with just as much talent? i'm really interested in what cuba has to offer. There style of fighting is entertaining

 

atsch ****, i forgot about this.
