    i heard that perez bashed up Tyson Fury in sparring. consider that everyone is saying fury is killing everyone else lol.

    apparently garcia is so good he is the only guy froch used for sparring for a couple of weeks before the pascal fight.

    froch knows all about Garcia he sparred him before the Jean Pascal fight

    Ive seen Luis twice hes awesome the only probablem is finding a suitable opponent that will challange him

    ive seen mike perez fight 2 times ive always been impressed but i think his lack of height might cause problems for him at the highest level

    I cant comment of acosta ive seen him once he wont a ko3 i think but he was recovering from a hand injury and looked to be holding back

    Thanks again for the link.


    Any idea who the opponents are. I think I mentioned it before that they need to step up a little. I know they are real pro novices but with the talent they have they should be getting a sterner test than they have been previously exposed to.

    I was on the phone to Gary last week he hadnt got any opponents yet hes not looking to match them easy the guy mike perez fought last month went the distance with Solis in germany so we expected him to put up more of a fight. as i said earlier acosta was coming back from a hand injury so they didnt want anything too testing. Garcia fought a 15-5 fighter in his second pro bout (the guy came in about half a stone over weight but they let the fight go ahead anyway)


    I look forward to seeing thye cubans being challanged in the near future!

    Sutherland has only had one fight, how can you say that Garcia would "smash" him? He has not shown what he is capable of yet!
    Sutherland would give any super middle a run for their money.

    Glenn McCrory's been raving about them in his sky blogs. Not a bad stable for a new trainer.
