Pacquiao Vs. DeLaHoya was foght at welterweight (147). They both weighed over 140 for the weigh-in and the fight was contrated for the welterweight limit. Where were U artani ?
I dident now, I dident analize weight. I was think that was in light welterweight. Anyway thanks mate ..
Yeah we will have a lot of debutants this year. Im lookink forward also two debuntants of the 2008, Demetrius Andrade (world champion 2007) who sign with Star Boxing and Erislandy Lara (world champion) 2005 who sign with Arena Box Promtion. Lara was in prison for two years. I heard that Ahmet Oner gives 2 milin $ to get outside to Cuban state. The both of them have 2 wins in two fights.
I read somethink like this in the Arena Box Promotion web-site. He was catched in the Brasil when he want to cross USA border and backs in the Cuba. In the prison is also one good champion, I forget his name, he was also very successfull in the amateurs. Lara have good chance to show his talent...
I am not really sure,artani,but I ve read somewhere that both Lara and Rigondeaux didnt find themselves behind iron bars after their return to Cuba.The Cuban authorities banned them from boxing for good ,but they didnt put them behind iron bars. A pity that Rigondeaux didnt take a risk and accompanied his compatriot Lara on his escape on a small vessel to the USA. Without any doubt Rigondeaux was the most outstanding fighter of the old Cuban national squad. Neither GAmboa,Solis nor Lara did really play in Rigondeaux's leageu at the amateurs.
