Top Cuban boxers defect in Brazil.

no ****in way, Rigondeaux defected??? Great news if true.

 

Just heard that Castro is pissed that these guys ran away all because of a "fist full of American dollars".

 

Rigondeux for many years was probably the p4p best amateur in the world although i think the Russian middle Matvey Korobov stole that mantle from him in recent years.Nonetheless his defection benefits the pro game and if you think Mayweathers fast wait till you catch a glimse of this guy.

 

I googled Rigondeux and found some videos of one of his fights. I realize it was an amature fight, but I have to say I was very impresed with what I saw

 

for some reason the only fight you are going to find is one vs Ramiros Rojas qualifying for the panamerican games and that was one of his worse fights ive seen, guess he wasent really excited about it.

 

Rigondeaux's got future champ written all over him...any info on the other guy who defected?

 

Rigondioux is the real thing......he will need to get with a good trainer thou to help him with the ptransition to the pros....so he doesn;t go the same route as Diosbelys Hurtado...now Gillermo is no youngster...he is pushing 28 years old...

 

If that was one of his worse fights. I can't wait to see him at his best.

 

The defectors might sign a contract in Germany...

just as i expected, this will be awsome for boxing fans, and awsome news for me since ive dreamed (and believe me) for years about this happening.

 

Guillermo is 28 an for his weight class that's old....we will see, he needs to get a good trainer to help him trancition to pro boxing

 

Rigondeaux is 26, he will be 27 in October

With his skills he could have 9 years of great boxing in the Pro's

He will be 27 in Spet by the time he is ready to fight professional he will be 28 n matter how good heis...in fact he is not the top Cuba boxer, but Yuviel Napoles...don;t et me wrong Guillermo is good but not the top man....

 

dude cuba gets a very bad press while under a dictatorship but we arnt like that they are good poeple with a republic to do all the work fidel does jackshiznit.

whats wrong with it they are poor but if everyones poor on the same level then theres no one to complain:roll:
