It's the Irish Cubans! I think Britain should adopt them and claim them as its own.

Alexei Acosta - http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=462925&cat=boxer

 

yeh heard of them a few months back and are supposed to be pretty good hope they stay based here thoguh

 

Garcia is supposed to be very special indeed at super middleweight. Watch out Frochy.

 

TFFP i was just going to say that Garcia looked the best prospect from what i had heard but also Perez is supposed to be sh*t hot and Acosta is no slob himslef

 

Perez may be a little on the small side for a HW.

Hopefully they are good cos I'd support them. I didn't know they had so many bouts. They got some serious power between them. They got amazing amateur pedigree. The Cubans breed 'em good.

 

Mike Perez is a little heavy in some of his bouts. At 6 foot he has to keep the weight down to 215-220 max, because even in the 220s hes a heavy set man. Mike Perez has that nice light fluid approach but I'd like to see him bend his knees more and dig a bit more (despite having power so far). The videos show typical journeyman stoppages and they can build false hope and confidence. He should also get low and move the head to make himself a small target. He needs to use his advantages because the big guys sure will use theirs. The combos, the body work, its all there and it looks good. I hope he succeeds. I want to see the other two now.

 

i wonder how the english crowd will take to mike perez wearing the irish flag on his shorts .

 

.....trust me these guys are already getting peoples heads turning
they are picking up the right momentum....jus wish they were on terrestrial or even setanta

 

I don't think they'll be arsed TBH.

 

I'd like to see them wear half Cuban half Irish. I thought they were set to debut in Newcastle. Are they Irish bred then? No British about em?

 

We English love the Irish. You are a great country with great tradition and culture and some superb sportsmen that have always captured the English fans heart no matter what sport. Also England is made up of many Irish citizens or folk with Irish blood in them from past generations. We are pretty much the same people apart from our accent and mine is different from most around England. Hopefully the three Cubans start getting more exposure than just the BoxingNews write ups and hopefully the level of opponent improves because at the moment it is awful behond what is right for the fighters themselves and paying fans.

Also any news on the 3 brothers who are figting? I think they are the Hylands or something.


Wonder if Sutherland fancies fighting Garcia.

 

Glen is on the Bunce Hour this week to talk about his Cubans. Thursday 26th, Setanta Sports News at 2pm.

Adios.
