The Future of CUBA in the Pros, by Weightclasses. (List Inside) ***UPDATED/VIDEO***

Perez won in one round

 

I recall Lara's team was trying to get a fight with Spinks when he was still IBF champ. My guess is they will go for K-9.

 

Cordobas cuban trainer Orlando Cuellar said to ***********:" Ricardo had 120 rounds of sparring with cuban fighters with similar styles to that of Rigondeaux".
Not sure but months ago he named Luis Franco and Rances Barthelemy.
ONLY THREE DAYS TO RIGO WILL WALK INTO THE RING AND PICK UP A BELT:

 

im sorry but the only cuban that came close to rigo;s style was mario kindelan. barthelemi and luis franco got nothing in common with rigo, wat an idiot cuellar is

 

It could possibly be one of Rigo's strengths as a pro, his opponents may have difficulties to find good sparring. I'm not sure I agree about Kindelan being similar but that's beside the point.


Different topic: Has anyone here seen young amateur HW Leinier Perot? I hear good things but have only found a few very short clips from the youth olympics.

 

10) Leinier Perot (!)
YOB: 1992
H: H
Country: Cuba
A young and very promising heavyweight from Cuba who became the junior World Camp in 2010. He also won the Cuban Olympiad 2010, beating Savon and Acosta during the way.

I found this from he net

The Cuban boxing celebrated on Tuesday the first place achieved in the 16th World Junior Championship in Baku, Azerbaidzhan, with three gold, one silver and one bronze medals.

Captain Robeisis Ramírez, Irosvani Duvergel and Leinier Perot were the three gold medalists making Cuba the winner of the competition with 38 points.

Ramirez beat Indian athlete Shiva Thapa 14-1 for his 7th win in the 54 kilogram competition, and reached his 154th victory in his career with only two defeats.

Duvergel reached his 5th victory in the 81 kg category, with verdict of 7-0 on Uzbek Sardorbek Begaliev, and Perot beat Russian Alexander Ivanov 11-0 in the 81 kg category.

The only defeat of the Cuban team was for Norlan Vera (57 kg), who lost to German Artur Bril 3-10. Cuban Yosvani Veitia won a bronze medal in the 48 kg category.

Cuba was the champ of the competition by 11th occasion -28 victories in 36 matches- followed by Russia, Azerbaidzhan, India, Uzbekistan and Germany.

 

One of the biggest newspapers in Scandinavia have 4 , yes four pages of Rigondeaux today friday. I talked wth a sportjournalist and he was interested , but four pages thats crazy. Wonder if Rigo bring some friend into the ring tomorrow. Lara had Rigo and Ugas walking with him last fight ,maybe we see the three again tomorrow ?

 

Rigo is definitely making some noise, and with the PPV being so crappy, he has the chance to steal the entire show. Wonder if Top Rank will allow a Golden Boy fighter (Lara) to walk in with him, especially now that Lara called Vanes the Martian's bluff. If he does walk in, he should wear some Vanes mockery t-shirt.

Rigo won by SD.

Good performance considering that this was only his 7th pro fight.

Anyone else think he should go back with Roach though?

Shields seem to be turning him into a mini version of Wlad.

 

Yes, he should go back to Roach.

 

Here a few pics guys:

November 18th The six bout fight card will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Mission Valley, a suburb of San Diego, and it will mark the first time that the veteran San Diego boxing promoter sets up shop at that venue.

In the main event, undefeated Cuban exile Lester “Cubanito” Gonzalez (11-0-1, 6KOs) and upset minded Chris “The Last Chapter” Chatman (8-1, 4KOs), both of San Diego and southpaws, will battle it out for the California State super welterweight title over eight rounds

 

Nice gallery, are there any pics of him with the title out there yet?
